Team Umizoomi was a children’s show created by Soo Kim, Jennifer Twomey, and Michael Smith. The show is about three characters—Milli, Bot, and Geo—who solve everyday problems using their “Mighty Math Powers.”
The Backyardigans is a children’s show created by Janice Burgess. The show is about five Backyardigans named Uniqua, Tyrone, Austin, Tasha, and Pablo. These characters use their imagination to turn their backyard into fantasy adventures.
We asked EMS students which show they liked better. Here are the results:
Deklyn McArrey:
“Backyardigans because I LOVE Uniqua.”
Caleb Strawn:
“I’ve never seen Team Umizoomi, so probably The Backyardigans.”
Jude Gerber:
“The Backyardigans because Tyrone is a GOAT. Also, the Umizoomis are not tough, and the stories have no plot.”
Brynley Schieler:
“Probably The Backyardigans because I don’t like math.”
Rigg Stoller:
“The Backyardigans because I love Tyrone, and it’s funny.”
Austin Logan:
“The Backyardigans because Tyrone is the best, and he is funny.”
Hunter Wurmnest:
“I watched both growing up, but The Backyardigans had the better intro song, so The Backyardigans.”
Brantley Simpkins:
“The Backyardigans because it’s fire.”
Journey Garcia:
“I would rather watch The Backyardigans because they have Tyrone, and Tyrone is tough.”
Brady Thompson:
“Definitely Team Umizoomi because that’s my jam.”
