4 The Backyardigans The Backyardigans is a Canadian–American CGI-animated musical TV series created by Janice Burgess, It is a co-production of animation studio Nelvana and Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

This show is awesome. They should put it back on T.V. because they replaced it with a crappy show. There should be a channel with all the shows we miss. It teaches kids to use their imaginations. They recreate different stories and myths. It also teaches you how to say hello in different languages. If you have any toddlers or little kids, I would highly recommend watching this show. I watched it since I was 1 years old and I still enjoy it now. Those were good memories, when I was 1 and half, my parents would watch the news on T.V. and then I was so excited and I wanted to watch T.V. as well. So then they put it on a kid friendly channel, and it always ended up that the Backyardigans were on. And I watched the Backyardigans, I got so excited and loved it. That same thing would happen every day after daycare. I still love watching it now.

I may hate this show, but it teaches kids on how to use their imagination.
