My kids love this dvd but I have a couple gripes. First, the Gabba DVD's that are released all the time only have 4 episodes. That's not bad, but when you are spending $10-$15 or more per dvd for every 4 episodes it adds up. It does make you feel like you are being nickel and dimed for each and every episode and that's why I am giving this dvd release 2 stars
Yo Gabba Gabba is now on its 4th season but we have not yet seen a single season released as a whole in the US. This is very frustrating. This is probably because of Nick and not the fault of the maker's of the show, but they should know that we parents are waiting ever so patiently for full seasons to purchase (even those of us who already own the dvd's trust me)
Not only that, but another HUGE issue is that parents like me who have Gabba on tv several several hours a day appreciate watching it in HD as it is a LOT easier on the eyes. Right now if you want to watch it in HD you have two options:
1. Record it on your DVR the day a new episode premiers on Nick (not Nick Jr. which is SD only and does not premiere the new episodes in HD). They will only air new episodes ONCE on Nick in HD and if you miss it guess what too bad. I wish they would air more on Nick instead of shows like Spongebob being on 24/7 on that channel but that's another issue for another day
2. Stream it/purchase it in HD. Netflix seems to be the best option for streaming HD episodes. Season 1 is not available in HD anywhere you look for it so beware of that first of all. Seasons 2 & 3 are available in HD on Netfilx which is wonderful but goes against your internet monthly data caps everytime you stream an episode which is NOT wonderful lol. You can purchase episodes in HD on your Xbox/Roku from Vudu etc. BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY IN HD! Not only that, but you will come across another problem which is that only certain episodes for certain providers are available for purchase in HD. So even if you wanted to purchase in HD the whole of season 2 or season 3 certain episodes of those seasons WILL NOT be in HD
So please, if anyone important is reading this, please do 2 things: First release full seasons of the show on disc. Secondly, Release them in HD (even season 1) on bluray format, and don't wait until my kids are too old to care to do so
My family loves Gabba so keep on making new episodes and releasing new content! Thanks
