4 Square

4 Square is a Canadian television show for kids between the ages of one to four which debuted in 2003. The show consists of 4 different segments. Each segment has its own colored backdrop, with the actors wearing the contrasting colour. The show is often divided up and only one segment is aired as a filler between two longer running shows. The show concluded in 2007 and then got taken off the air on September 6, 2015.

 * 1) It actively engages young audiences in four distinct performance styles, Poetry, Song, Movement and Rhythm, to create an interactive foundation in all performing arts in a similar manner to The Electric Company.
 * 2) The animations while changing squares can be very long (also said in BQ #6), which teaches kids the virtue of patience.
 * 3) Great songs like The Theme Song, Oh My Friends, Heppity Ho, Tikka Tikka Tikka Tikka Tee Tee Ta, Nana, and much more.
 * 4) The Doo Wha's are cute.
 * 5) "TIKKA TIKKA TIKKA TIKKA TEE TEE TA".
 * 6) Some of the poems range from decent to mediocre. (Also on BQ#1)
