The Backyardigans

One of the best cartoons on right now in my opinion in The Backyardigans. They kinda remind me of the Muppet Babies in that they are young children who for 30 minutes, once a week, test the limits of their imagination. The only difference is the animation is much better and they have some pretty smooth dance moves. I sometimes get up on Saturday morning just to laugh at the clever stuf the writers and artists have put together.

One of the funny things about the show is the name of the characters. I could have easily grown up with 3 of these character. There is Pablo, Austin, Uniqua, Tyrone and Tasha. I'm sure you can guess which three names I'm talking about.

As I posted earlier, last Sunday Madison took her 6 month photos. Well, I couldn't help but notice the strange resemblance that Madison has with to one of the characters. Uniqua.

Uniqua

I think it is absolutely hilarious. Check out what the creator of the show has to say about Uniqua:

A curious, self-confident and high-spirited pink creature with polka dots and overalls, she is almost always sweet and friendly, though her strong opinions and occasional stubbornness get in the way of her relationships. (Sounds like Madison)She is more of a tomboy unlike her friend Tasha, often imagines herself in roles requiring brains and fortitude (scientist, pirate captain, etc), and loves books (as seen in episodes such as "The Masked Retriever").

Uniqua is a unique creature that is unlike any other in the world, and Uniqua is also the name of her species.
