Help yourself to another delicious serving of The Wiggles, this time with zesty international flavor. From Down Under romps the creative Aussie quartet, Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff, to host an energetic song and dance revue. They showcase music from around the globe in Wiggly, Wiggly World, a performance of 16 musical numbers ranging from nonsensical knee-slappers ("Six Months in a Leaky Boat") to melodic ballads ("Starry Night"). Sharing the spotlight is a menagerie of colorful characters, including Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus, that twist and tap in well-choreographed dances like "Blow Me Down" and "Pirate Dancing." Notable singers lend their talents, such as Australian country music legend Slim Dusty, yet nothing beats watching the fab foursome enjoy sheer zaniness to elicit giggles and wiggles from young viewers. If adults find it corny, kids will find it captivating, precisely the reason for the show's broad appeal. (Ages 1 to 5). --Lynn Gibson
