The Backyardigans 10th Anniversary Retrospective

(originally upload: October 11, 2014)

Exactly 10 years ago, one of the greatest television shows in all history was created. The Backyardigans aired on October 11, 2004. With realistic locations, variable song genres, great-sounding instrumentals, and five "make-a-great-team" neighbors, the show was a hit!

According to a personal correspondence in 2012, Dave Palmer, the director of the series, announced he and Janice Burgess were writing a 10th anniversary special. This idea was most likely scrapped because, announced in a later correspondence, he forgot. Sadly, no 10th anniversary special was released on Nick or Nick Jr., but that's no excuse to lower our spirits. Instead, how about a retrospective?

I made a Backyardigans retrospective that shows the milestones throughout the years. I also procured footage from the 1998 pilot Me and My Friends, and the 2002 pilot Backyardigans. The rest shows video-quotes from the series' run from 2004-2011. So sit back, relax, and have a snack.

I really hope you enjoy this.

I'm going to humorously site the names of the people who got a sneak peek viewing of this video:
-Deema (DeemaIsBestGuppy
-Alan (Alan The Eng Dude 05)
-Brandon (EmoInuyasha9)
-Natalie (Nataile 0012)
-Tyler (GalaxyAmazonX)
