mrsluigivargasLately during work I’ve been playing Backyardigans episodes in the background and its been really fun — I’ve gotten through most of season one so far — but also I’ve had to restrain myself multiple times from making a spreadsheet about it, lmao. It would be pretty cool, though! I have quite a few ideas for what data to collect… But unfortunately, making a Backyardigans spreadsheet is too time-consuming, and I have other things to do.
Regardless, it's been a nice trip down memory lane! This show was one of the first things i remember really being “obsessed” with; it might have been late elementary school/early middle school, maybe? I used to scour the library for DVDs all the time, determined to watch all 80 episodes of it even though I’d been pretty sure I was too old for the show, haha. And I did! Despite the DVDs each containing an almost-random selection of episodes. I wanna finish rewatching the show, though, because I have Thoughts. Line how season one is very cute and delightful. And how season four is weirdly hit-or-miss for me. And how all these kids are adorable, and how I'm pretty sure this show is where most of my humor comes from.
(For context in 2018/2019 I made a spreadsheet for a different kids show (Bubble Guppies) that was 44 columns wide and 66 out of 80 (pre-season 5) episodes deep. Sometimes I wonder if I should go back and finish it…but then I'd have to start the necessary rewatch from the beginning because I was adding columns as I was collecting data, lmao. Loved making the associated graphs and charts, tho, ngl.

Another Backyardigans fan, wow!

I watched the Spanish dub way back when. I really love this silly show. Nice to read someone is revisiting it!
