The Yo Gabba Gabba episode titled "GAMES," that I directed/edited and co-wrote will be airing Tuesday, September 23rd on Nickelodeon. It will air at 11:30 Pacific time, but be sure to check your local listings for when its on Tuesday. It's awesome that I was able to do this, because it's not every day you get the chance to write and direct a television show that will air nationally. I do really have to thank Scott Schultz, Christian Jacobs, Justin Lyon and Jason deVilliers for making this happen. Mates of State (www.myspace.com/matesofstate) performs a song written by one of the musicians from the show (the cousin of our own Pasadena Ward good friend Dana Willard) and it was a lot of fun directing the music video with Mates of State for the episode. It's an epic process putting together one of these shows, and I'm amazed that Christian and Scott can each do nine of these episodes. Also I've edited episodes that will be showing through out the year. I'm editing the Jack Black episode right now (he's in the entire episode). There is also an animated segment I wrote and directed that will show in one of the future episodes. This one has a princess in it that was illustrated to look like Mia. Anyway, it's pretty exciting so check the episode out on Tuesday, September 23rd, 11:30 Pacific Time.
The show was in TIME Magazines "Top 10 New Shows of the Year," here's a link to that article:

Wow. Great line-up. We're excited about the new season too!
And yes Niki, I love personal comments from Mr. Fakrell on my blog. Even if it's only your pseudo name. Hey, he did give me a shout-out here though. I like it!
Congrats Matt!! You are awesome! I can't wait.
My DVR has been set for 9 days now! I was way ahead of the game :)
And don't forget, Melora Hardin also plays Trudy Monk on "Monk." But it is a show for old people (and me) so I may be one of the few who know her as that...and now I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have admitted that information.
YAY! We can't wait!! And the new season sounds great!!
Congrats!!
