Teletubbies

Pros: A nice learning tool
Cons: contoversy ridden show

My daughter, who is now 2 years old, loves the Teletubbies. It is that plain and simple. Or is it? When Amanda was about 6 months old, we sat down to watch the tubbies for the very first time. I know what you all are thinking, that having a 6 month...

Pros: Interactive, spontaneous
Cons: Not on weekends

More than 650 reviews and I have something to say. There is a story in this show that has children and a theme. I find it very odd that not one of the epinions I have read seems to mention this.

I have three Teletubbies videos and have taped...

Pros: 0- to 2-year-olds love it; good little lessons
Cons: may teach that the outside world exists in little TV sets

I'm not sure how I stumbled on the Teletubbies controversy, but I was surprised by the passion with which the anti-Teletubbies contingent argued against the show. It can undermine children's language development? It teaches that the chakra in your tummy ...

Pros: Cute Show
Cons: None that I have Seen

The first time I saw the teletubbies I thought that they were absolutely adorable.

I happened upon them when flipping through the channel and was so intrigued by them. I ended up watching the entire show. My first impression of them was that...

Pros: great characters
Cons: none

I usually do not watch kids programs unless the kids are around but Teletubbies is the exception. They are some of the cutest and most lovable characters I have ever seen on a kids program.

Although the shows are definitely slanted toward...

Pros: The only TV show in its age group. Somewhat educational.
Cons: Quickly outgrown.

There's scarcely been a more controversial TV show over the last five years than Teletubbies. Is it groundbreaking in providing edutainment for the youngest audience, or is it a sickening attempt to suck tots into the TV habit? Is it age-appropriate or...

Pros: Cutesy Stuffed Objects
Cons: Non Educational unless you really make it become that

Over the hills and far away – exactly where we prefer them, Teletubbies stay distant from here and are not allowed in for play...


Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po are four colorful stuffed “babies” who love each other...

Pros: More than given credit.
Cons: None if you remember the target audience age.

Why a program designed for the two and under crowd can elicit such controversy is beyond me. Although I am one who has seen their own infant child “learn” and delight from this innocent show, I will admit to having the opinion that “not every waking...

Pros: My niece singing there song
Cons: Losers who have nothing better to do then trash a kids show

I never ever thought i would be doing a epinion about this show... Personally the only thing i like about this show is my niece singing the song they sing at the start of the show..She is 2 years old and doesn't talk much,but she sure can sing this song...

Pros: Gentle, positive fun for young kids
Cons: Only for the youngest kids - who have no business glued to the TV anyway!

Or, "I'll glady take the vacuum home, but I'll shoot the critters on sight"
Or, "Explain to me why my child should watch 'dumbed down' entertainment"
Or, "I bet the actors are glad their faces don't show"
Or,...

Pros: I've drawn a blank
Cons: poor speech example, creepy!

I have read several (admittedly not all) of the reviews on Teletubbies, but the one that finally prompted me to write my opinion was written by "proudarmywife". I should qualify by saying that 1) I don't have children and 2) I have only...

Pros: Loaded with good talking points for one year olds.
Cons: I've grown up!

At first, I thought Teletubbies was meant in some way to prepare our children for life in a post-apocalyptic world. A sort of primer for the Orwellian life to come. Could it be that this was part of a conspiracy to numb our children so that the all...

Pros: The show is harmless and sweet
Cons: Because some un-named person needed some press time this show has been the center of many comedians jokes

NOTE: THIS REVIEW MIGHT NOT MAKE SENSE TO YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE REVIEW I AM COUNTERING.

I did not give you a not recommended because I feel that you did put a great amount of time and effort into what you were saying. And the...

Pros: gently paced, bright colors, simple topics nicely presented
Cons: because it's made for kids, it drives adults crazy; some stereotyping

This is a "disagreeing" opinion to WorkingMomof2's "Teletubbies: Mindless Entertainment for Babies", which can be found at:

Let's make things...

Pros: cute, colorful, childlike
Cons: so many people are tubby haters

Two years ago, if you had asked me my opinion on Teletubbies I would have said "tele what?". I had never heard of them, nor knew what they were about. Now that I am a mother, I am quickly learning (and becoming addicted) to these cute, colorful...
