The Teletubbies started in the U.K. and proved to be a popular children's show. In April 1998, the U.S.A. picked up the Teletubbies on PBS, and proved to be popular with American children too.

Teletubbies is a show about creatures known as Teletubbies (so called because they're tubby, and have TV screens in their stomachs). The Teletubbies live in Teletubbyland, and faraway place inhabited by only the Teletubbies, talking flowers, talking trumpets, a baby sun, the Noo-Noo, a bunch of rabbits, and the narrator. There house is known as "The Tubby-Tronic Superdome", and has everything they need, four beds, a tubby-toast maker, a tubby-custard makers, and a slide used as an alternate entrance. In the middle of their dome, they have a panel of switches and buttons and their tubby sponges which they use to bathe themselves. Each day, the Teletubbies discover new things together, watch videos on their tubby-screens, and have fun together. In Teletubbyland, there's a large windmill, and when it spins pink dust, it let's the teletubbies know that something magical is about to happen. The Teletubbies were developed in U.K. by Ragdoll and BBC.

Characters

Tinky-Winky The largest of the four teletubbies. He is purple, and has a triangle antenna (because of these features, critics assume he is gay, but rest assure, he isn't, he may be a tom-girl, but he's not gay.) His favorite thing is his hand-bag which he can amazingly fit large things in. His best friends are Dipsy and Po. He may be large, but he's quiet and gentle. His song is "Tinkle-Winkle, Tinky-Winky"

Dipsy The second largest teletubby. He is green with a dipstick antenna. His favorite thing is his black and white tie-dye top hat. His best friends are Tinky-Winky and Laa-Laa. He's more of a loner teletubby, and doesn't like "cute" stuff. His song has a reggae beat.

Laa-Laa The second smallest teletubby. She is yellow, with a spiral antenna. Her favorite thing his her giant orange ball that she seems to have no control of. Her best friends are all of the teletubbies. She has a free-spirit and can always find away to enjoy things, her favorite word is "nice." Her song is "La la la la la la la la."

Po The smallest teletubby. She is red, with an "O" shaped antenna. Her favorite thing is her red and blue scooter which she can ride at an alarming speed. Her best friends are Tinky-Winky and Laa-Laa. She is very quiet and usually shy, but loves to go fast. Her song is "Fidy Fidy, Mar Mar Mar"

Noo-Noo The Teletubbie's vacuum cleaner that can suck up anything in his path, even things twice his size. He lives inside the Tubby-tronic Superdome.

Trumpets Trumpets that come out of the ground and sing songs or recite poems for the Teletubbies to enjoy.

Baby Sun A sun with a baby's face in it.

Narrator Basically tells the story, or what the Teletubbies "what to do".

Show Secrets

-The teletubbies in real-life are huge, the costumes can reach up to 10 feet!
-After ten minutes, the actors have to remove the Teletubby heads from their costumes due to carbon dioxide build up.
-Nikki Smedley landed the part of Laa-Laa when she was make-believing she was a table at the audition.
-The Noo-Noo is operated by a small man inside him.

Alot of people have been saying that Teletubbies is teaching their kids to be gay. That is a lie. Teletubbies is a show for kids to have fun.

• Teletubbies Name Change

  You hate the Teletubbies, right? Let's rename a lot of the stupid elements in the show to something more suitable. I'll give an example: Tubby Custard ----> Crappy Custard

  Parents, if you want your kid to be exposed to shows that are fun and have educational value, do not, I repeat, DO NOT show them this! hide « show »

  Let me just start by saying that I have no clue why I ever watched this show in the first place. All this show is about is four strange unidentifiable creatures who can only say "Uh-oh!" even when nothing's wrong and wiggle their butts at you at the end of practically every show. Sheesh! It doesn't even have any educational value! In my opinion, the only thing this show teaches kids is to avoid watching television altogether. Plus, another thing, the teletubbies really freaked me out when I DID watch this show, especially Tinky Winky. I mean, he doesn't even talk like the others. That's weird. One more thing that really bugs me that many of the other reviewers have also mentioned is the fact that the sun is really a baby's head! That's just bizarre and it makes me wonder how badly the producers want to scare children. My advice, if you don't want your kids to be scarred for life, parents, do not let them watch this show under any circumstances! Marebear2009, out!

  Why did I watch this show when I was younger, yet why did I watch this show at all? hide « show »

  Well I can see this plot for this show is really obvious,(sarcasm right there), a bunch of silly...... creatures run around a yard acting really retarded and having a pet vaccum, and talking to a baby in the sun.... -.- WTH!?!?! Well, I can't believe some people like this show, but yet it's their opinion... I can't say I'm surprised that alot of people hate this show since most of us are teens and this is a baby show. I can't think of any think else to say but this show was really horrible and it didn't teach anything to children! I never could stand that baby in the sun, he really bothered me! I'm sorry Teletubbies fans, but this show is bottom of the barrel in my book! Final grade: F---

  I liked this show when I was a little girl (like 3 or 4 years old). But now, being a teenager, I think it's the most retarded show ever made. hide « show »

  This show is so gay I mean they've got no plot! All they do is do stupid things. They say nothing except for, "Uh-oh." The CG animation is crap! All of it looks so fake! And what's up with the sun being a baby's face? I feel really sorry for those people in the costumes. I know I wouldn't be caught dead in those things! I'm willing to bet when the creator of the show came up with the idea for it, he or she was most likely drunk or high. Like I said before, I did watch this show when I was little. However, when you are that little, you're into that kind of stuff. But now seeing it, when I'm older, all I know is that if I had kids, I definetly wouldn't let them watch this show cause all it teaches kids is how to be gay I learned nothing as a toddler from this show! Worst of all, it stayed on the air, like, ten years after the show was cancelled. Only last year did they take it off the air. So anyway, I think this show is crap and it is one of the stupidest shows to date!

  The fecal matter of children's programming hide « show »

  Okay let's start off with the plot of this show. Oh wait.....THERE IS NONE! Teletubbies is the most retarded crap on television. What do they do? Watch TV on their stomachs? It's like they brainwash kids into doing a bunch of stupid crap like jumping around making weird noises. Tubby custard? A baby sun? A vacuum cleaner w/ eyes? I mean WTF? Over the hills and far away, four pedophiles making $20 bucks an hour dressed in retarded costumes hop around with no purpose except into making children autistic retards! Ugh! I'd like to see the paint sniffing moron who made this put on trial! It's shows like these that make parents wanna call Nanny 911. Grade:FU Teletubbies! >:(

  3 Bad

  This show is kind of good. hide « show »

  Okay,well this show is kind of bad,but it's kind of good for me.But there are some big promblems of this show and here are the problems:
  
  Who the heck would put a baby's head on the sun?It will be like a cartoon with a talking sun that's about one year old.
  
  Why the heck in the beginning and end would put these shower things on going out from the ground?It's very terrible and they can't do that to make this show better.
  
  I really hate the part where they show these scenes of kids because it's very long and they want to see it again.
  
  This show is silent and it's very stupid,but I think this show is okay.
  
  Well,I don't think it's better than Sesame Street,but it's better than Sid The Science Kid.
  
  I kind of think this show is pretty good and it's not that bad,but it needs a little more improvement.
