TV critic's picks: Wednesday

"Yo Gabba Gabba" gang snares spotlight

August 17, 2010 at 8:21PM

Yo, yo, man! Last month's TV Critics Association awards ceremony in L.A. was populated by big stars, including Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston and the cast of "Glee." But nobody turned more heads or got more requests for photos than the characters of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" Heck, even Hanks stopped for a photo op. Now Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa get their turn to share the spotlight with the team when it bounces onto "Live With Regis and Kelly" (9 a.m., KSTP, Ch. 5).
