This should be classified on imdb as "Horror", 9 August 2001
Author: Gideon40 from Singapore

Boy, if there's one thing i'm afraid of, its the teletubbies. This bunch of insane looking, demonspawns that only could have been spawned from the depths of hell itself. The devil has finally found out a way of visual torture...its this show. Watching the teletubbies doing pure acts of stupidity causes me to shield my eyes in horror and frantically search for the remote control. Maybe toddlers will enjoy it because the telletubheads behave in a way that toddlers understand, but for a youth such as myself, its wonder why my school doesn't use an episode of this as a substitute for detention. This is a great show for kids aged 6 months to 4, because of how well the telletubies behave that actually grabs the attention of youngsters, but it is a show ONLY for kids in that age group. People aged 9 and above with some sense in them will see it as a retarded and dumb show. In my case, i am afraid of this show. I can't bear to watch it for more than 5 minutes, or else i'll go insane. My advice to parents: Get your kids to watch something more sane like Sesame Street.
