We don't know The Wiggles yet, but it has to be better than Wow, Wow Wubzy.

We adore the Wiggles. This is our second year seeing them live and we look forward to it. We think our little guy does too. He has been practicing his dancing and singing and this year we were were lucky to get stage side seats for him.

They have been around since 1991 making children and families happy. I do feel sad that we wont be seeing Greg anymore because of his illness, but Sam is doing an amazing job!

The dancers have been a blast to watch grow into adulthood over the years and who doesn't love Captain Feathersword!

My girls grew up with Raffi and I remember thinking, oh after awhile I feel my brain get numb... but then they grew up and there was no more toddler music, no more silly toddler dances and I found myself sneaking the occasional Raffi on my walkman on my way to work on the D train. (NYC) I would let my mind drift to when they were tiny and longed for them, so this time around I am ready for it! Give me as much Wiggles as you can!

A. More Wiggles = More Fun

C, definitely C. I've lived through the Wiggles with two boys. I'll never be able to make fruit salad again without saying "Yummy, yummy!"

A. My dd LOVES the Wiggles. She is 18 mos and loves to dance. We purchased our first dvd not too long ago after our little girl started marching around the house waving her hands in the air every night. When I asked our daycare provider what she was doing, she said that they watch the Wiggles regularly and dd knows all the moves. Now she runs into the living room and yells "dance, dance". How can we resist?

My son watches the Wiggles twice a day. My husband and I watch so much we know the words! Nothing like cleaning and singing "Rock-a-bye Bear!" Greg is pretty much allowed to watch the Wiggles whever. While I may not always be thrilled, it brings such a huge smile to hs face that I simply cannot say no. So on goes the television and everything gets put aside for some Wiggle Time!

More Wiggles, More Fun! I can't decide who's the cutest Wiggle to me -but my kids love them all!

Also, you don't happen to have tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert also? I missed the deadline to submit the 300 word essay last week because I had a brain freeze or something. I wrote something really cute about why my 9-year old daughter & I needed to go so she could grow up & I could let her grow up. Oh well, the Wiggles might be more fun than the Jonas brothers as I know the Wiggles songs!

(Sorry - no Jonas Brothers tickets here. But this Wiggles giveaway is the beginning of a lot of fun giveaways here on the site and may include some tickets to a concert that your daughter may love. It's not final, but hopefully I'll have more news on that shortly. SLH, site editor)

I don't know who enjoys the Wiggles more - my daughter or me! We missed them the last time they were in town. I'd love to be able to sing & dance with them this time around....

My answer is definitely A. After Jack was born, I bought several CDs and every day, sometime during that witching hour (4:30 to 5:30) before my husband got home, I would put him on his mat and dance to the Wiggles while he kicked his legs. My husband would come home, and dance to a few songs, too. I jokingly say that the Wiggles helped me lose my baby weight. Later I bought a few DVDs, and on occasion, we watch them. Jack likes Captain Feathersword now. The funny thing now is that when I play a CD and it has some of the same music as a DVD, Jack sits in his little chair and expects them to appear on TV.

A friend of mine and I have talked for years about starting a 'tribute' band called 'The Waggles' and performing at malls and kids parties.... but they we realized we have no talent. The idea was formed during a train-of-thought pattern much like the one in the answer above!

E. My kid watches TV, but the rabbit ears don't pick up that channel so he hasn't been indoctrinated yet by The Wiggles. BUT, if I win tickets to go to this, I will greatly enjoy torturing my husband because for some reason he can't stand The Wiggles. AND YET, while keeping our sick son at home the other day, he let him watch Barney! BARNEY! I'd much rather he obsess over The Wiggles.

The Wiggles are more fun than Wow, Wow Wubzy (but we like that show too). I find myself getting up and dancing along with my kids when the Wiggles are on. Lots of exercise so I love this show!

A. More Wiggles=More Fun! I have two little girls and both of them LOVE watching the Wiggles.  My 5 year old has been trying to teach my 17 month old how to "sing and dance like the Wiggles"! Every now and then I will hear her say "hot tatoe" when the hot potatoe song comes on!! My husband and I will even catch ourselves singing along with them! All their songs just make you smile! It's actually great family time....which is always needed with busy working parents! We get to see our little girls smile and laugh...what could be better??????

Is it me or is this the only workout Moms can get without little ones pulling on us during it? I love working out with the Wiggles too.

A. I am the grandmother of two boys, ages 4 and 2. The Wiggles are a great learning tool and a great way to have fun and act silly together, which is so nice while they are still young!

A. More Wiggles = More fun! It's good exercise and she can learn stuff too! Most of the time she makes me "dance" too so it's even exercise for me!

we went to the concert last summer in Philly and my daughter had the best time dancing. I even got my sister to make her a Wiggly dress with panels of red, purple, yellow, and blue which should still fit this year so I think we're ready for the show.

Definitely B! My daughter also LOVES listening to the Beatles. Both the Wiggles and the Beatles' songs are so catchy. I often catch myself singing Big Red Car when I am on the golf course or working on the computer at work.

C. I enjoy the Wiggles as well as my daughter. They are a breath of fresh air. They are so colorful, upbeat, and fun. Plus we enjoy dancing & singing along with them. If only all the singers our children like could be such a positive role model, that would be ideal.

I always say (A) more wiggles fun!! She loves to watch them over & over we actually record the shows for her while we are at work. They are great for learning and for fun!

The Wiggles are def. much better than barney or anything like that. My daughter loves them more than Elmo.

amyb's picture
by amyb 1 mon. ago.

The answer is A! Wags the Dog, Fruit Salad, Big Red Car, Kookaburra, Hot Potato, we LOVE the Wiggles. The whole family dances and sings with them, including my 18 year old, 13, 7, and ahem, me, no age necessary, I am young at heart. We love the Safari video and the Pirate one and we even Youtube them. We worry for Greg. We yell WAKE UP to Jeff. We have a Wiggles toybox in the bedroom. We are a Wiggle Family. We love Dorothy and Capt. Feathersword and Henry....these guys just make people happy. I have never met a person who doesn't like them.

My daughters favorite song is Wake Up Jeff!! She is 2 and she believes that she really helps him to wake up. It's great to see a childrens show that had great learning, and isn't something that I have to worry about her watching.

My son (6) has been watching the Wiggles since he was 2. I've seen every episode at least 100 times. I would choose option B and let him continue to enjoy one of his favorite shows.
