    This show is for very young children

    Some of the reviewers here seem to expect something like Game of Thrones in a children's show, ie something that entertains adults. You have to realise that the audience of this show is infants and toddlers from 6 months to about 4 years. So even five year olds are going to prefer shows more targeted at them.

    I feel sympathy for children whose parents expect everything to be educational. Teletubbies is not really supposed to be educational. It is entertainment for littlies, and in that regard it serves its purpose well. The British seem to be very good at shows for young children that are for entertainment purposes only, Americans don't seem to get it.

    Worst Kid's Show Ever

    First of all, I know that most kid's shows arent that great but, teletubbies just doesnt do anything for them. It isn't educational in the least. I know that they are aiming at kids between the ages of 6 months to 2 years but, what are kids that age doing watching tv in the first place? They won't even know what's going on, and won't really get anything out of it. Any kid over 3 probably won't be entertained by it because its a very boring show, and nothing much happens.I can't understand how people can complain about Barney, either. At least he speaks english! And at least we know what he is. He is a purple dinosuar. Sure, those don't exist but, what the hell is a teletubby? This show should seriously be taken off the air.

    Watched by Children and Students

    The Teletubbies live in a Nazi-style bunker where everything is "lovely". Genetically modified rabbits are their only living companions. A voice from nowhere tells them what to do, or tells them what is about to happen to them. They show a small film from one of their bellies and then repeat the film - this was another Nazi trick - repetition being used to brain-wash.

    All of this weird nonsense is watched over by a baby in the sun. All the Teletubbies are named after slang for genitalia:- Tinky Winky (obviously the male organ), La La (female), Po (bottom in German) and Dipsy (Russian slang for the male organ.

    It's quite amazing - you should watch it.

    This is the most frighteningly disturbing show on television.

    The Teletubbies is a UK show about four stubby aliens who live on a giant miniature golf course. They walk around the course doing simpletonic tasks and eating alien toast. Their only means of communication is nonsensical jabbering and slight English-sounding words. Every once in a while a talking shower head rises out of the turf and gives them instructions to please the sun which is really a giant baby's head inside of a sun. Then a giant pinwheel beams messages directly into their cerebral cortexes and their abdominal area becomes a projector. Their stomachs usually show small films about children going on adventures, or less exciting things. One time it showed five kids jumping. Just jumping, for five minutes.

    If none of this makes sense, watch the show, it probably won't make any more sense, but it might.

    Ohhhhhh,my head hurts!*starts sobbing*

    The "Teletubbies" has to be one of the most Nightmare-inducing TV shows ever (save for Barney and the New Nick JR).

    Four creepy-looking "creatures" with television sets in their torsos,doing some strange,nonsensical things that don't make sense and probably give you head aches and trippy nightmares.

    I know this is a children's show,but I even know some little kids who are afraid to watch these monsters (yes,I'm serious).

    Now,the Skeksis from the "Dark Crystal" on the other hand,are even more lovable than the "Teletubbie" things,and they are pretty frighting enough!

    • Trivia
      Exterior scenes were only filmed on clear, sunny days. When the weather was overcast, the crew would wait for the sun to come out or shoot a scene inside the 'Dome' instead.
