The Backyardigans series is one of the few children's shows that can be watched over and over again without causing involuntary twitches, nervous breakdowns or constant eye rolling on the part of adults. The five characters are extremely likeable, the episodes highly imaginative, and the selection of a different genre of music for each episode is a stroke of creative genius.Two of the episodes on this DVD qualify for special praise in the musical department, and these are "Into the Deep" which uses Bollywood melodies, and "Catch That Butterfly" which is pure operatic brilliance. "Save the Day" is psychedelic soul and "Newsflash" is inspired by Motown music.A summary of the four episodes on this DVD is below:"Into the Deep" (summarized to the tune "Octopus's Garden")Here you will see, under the seaTasha and Uniqua's garden in the shadeBut don't go in, they'll cause a dinA little mermaids' garden escapadeThen undersea, came P and TWith their underwater plans for a movieThe girls freak out, and start to shoutBut everything works out eventually"Newsflash" (summarized to the tune "Oh What a Beautiful Morning")There's some bright golden corn in the cornfieldsThere's some bright golden corn in the cornfieldsThe news people sigh, no newsflashes ariseWhen down at the farm, two guys sensationalizeOh what a beautiful newsflashOh what a beautiful sightI've got a wonderful feeling That there will be some news tonight"Save the Day" (summarized to the tune "Pop Goes the Weasel")Round and round the Harbor PatrolThe lady chased the whopperThe lady told them to get lostAnd they couldn't stop her!A jet ski for a sea of sharksA chopper for a rescueThat's the way the story goesOh!
