About the Show
This series stars two cute infant characters. One is Baby, an African American infant. His best friend is Sophie, an Asian American infant. What's cool is that these characters are made by bringing still photographs to life! There's also an animated butterfly character.
An adult human hand represents the narrator. The voice for the narrator is actor Richard Kind. Baby and Sophie explore many different places. The show encourages viewers to help them make discoveries. For example, you might help them find hidden objects. Or you could help them play a drum, build a castle, or open a jack-in-the-box.
Each episode is about five minutes long. It was made for children aged three to seven. The episode titles usually describe the main theme or setting.
Meet Baby
Baby usually wears all white and sits down. Since Baby is an infant, he doesn't speak. But you'll often see him laughing or looking surprised!
Each show starts with a view of Baby's diaper. The show's title is printed on it. Then, the narrator introduces Baby and the "mission" he needs to complete. For example, in the "Music" episode, Baby tries to play the drums with his head. The narrator then asks viewers to "show" Baby how to play correctly. Viewers get a few seconds to think. Then, Baby plays the drums the right way. Baby faces different small challenges in each episode. Viewers are encouraged to play along and help Baby succeed!

Online Fun
The TV series also had an online game. It was called "Baby's Big Helper." You could find it on the Playhouse Disney website. The game was a lot like the show. It placed Baby in different settings. Players then saw three choices below. A woman's voice narrated the game. The goal was to pick the object that "fit" best with Baby's setting. The Playhouse Disney website also had a video gallery. This let viewers watch full episodes of Go, Baby! online.
