"In the Night Garden" is a show that orginated in the UK, from the same creators as the teletubbies. It is aimed at babies and preschoolers. I never liked the teletubbies... but Dylan's new found fondness for the "In the Night Garden" characters has some what drawn me in. I told doug it's like Pootie Tang for tots... they are speaking a form of English... but rather inverted. Nice relaxing xylophone music, easy on the eyes, the whole thing is suppose to be about a surreal dream. They play with this odd looking toy train called a "Ninky Nonk"... try saying that with out giggling?
Dylan's favorite character is Makkapakka. The lyrics to this characters little rhyme/ song go:
'Makka Pakka, akka wakka, micka makka moo!
Makka Pakka, appa yakka, ikka akka oo.
Hum dum, agga pang, ing ang oo.
Makka Pakka, akka wakka, mikka makka moo!'
There are petitions up on tree house to get rid of it stating it has no educational value. I'm not sure exactly what educational value the show has... if any. Just looking at those lyrics it's got to have some rebus or phonetic value to it. All the names and songs are vowel prominent and rhyming not unlike Dr. Seuss. Treehouse has alot worst programing in my opinion
