Sometimes we simply don’t know what the legacy of a television show is, until it is either revisited in some fashion or followed up upon via a sequel or revival or reboot. For that is when so many come forth and speak about the emotions and wonder that said show put forth in their lives and that is something we are experiencing now via Apple TV+. Because the instant that the network announced that they were offering up a new chapter in the Yo Gabba Gabba! saga entitled, Yo Gabba Gabbaland!, people immediately made it known how much that show meant to them and how happy they were it was about to continue on.
​
