I now want to mention programs made by musicians or musical-themed shows. I mean shows like The Wiggles and the direct-to-video collections of educational songs from They Might Be Giants. What do you think of them?
I know that there are other shows of the same genre like The Doodlebops, Imagination Movers, and The Fresh Beat Band, but I am not too familiar with them to make a judgement.
I personally like them very much. The Wiggles in general make really memorable songs (though I lot track of them when three of the four lead singers left and were replaced). Even the shows are fun to watch. They have a great upbeat style with equally great messages (considering how Greg Page is a vegetarian). They Might Be Giants has an exquisite sound track teaching the alphabet (Flying V, Q & U, LMNO, C Is for Conifers, D Is for Drums) and numbers (My Hero Zero is enough to dignify).
What do you think of them and other programs of the same genre? Are they good or bad? If bad, what is wrong?
When done well, music-based shows, or shows with at least a partial focus on music, can be pretty great. I mean, just look at shows like Lazytown, the Backyardagins, or Yo Gabba Gabba for instance
