I wonder how the Wiggles became so popular in the US?

I don't know that I know enough about what you have in America for kids, but here there really was nothing like them before. Kids love easy music, to dance, the format was so simple - bright colours, not much on screen, repetition and only a few regular characters. We got Barney here for a while (I don't know if thats a good example of what you have there or not) but it did badly here - too much going on, annoying, and too bloody dorky.
Maybe Wiggles was just an odd Australian eccentricity that was picked up though like Crocodile Hunter.

yep, it was my favourite, still like watching it. i think that show will be around forever. I think Sesame Street is great for AS kids - you don't need to rely on facial expressions to know what the heck is going on. Its so exaggerated and teaches alot of basics about living - hope my grandkids get to watch this in about 20years

I'm not quit sure why I find her so attractive. Maybe it is a combination of things like her voice, personality, kindness, the way she moves, the things she says, her dancing, and overall appearance. Oh, it drives me crazy.

I will tell you a kid's show that creeps me out, the Teletubbies. I don't understand their oddities in any way and what the writers of the show are thinking with some of the dialogue and props they apply.

My niece has the VHS of the Wiggles and loves it. I was watching it with her and I nearly fell off the couch in laughter during a musical number that the Wiggles as puppets sang with high-pitched voices. The background was spining 60's flowers and colors.

The people who made that segment HAD to have been smoking something to come up with that.
