Storyline

In this television show for babies, the four colourful Teletubbies coo and play in idyllic Teletubbyland. They repeat fun, infant-pleasing activities such as rolling on the ground, laughing, running about, and watching real children on the televisions on their bellies. Mysterious pinwheels and telephones rise out of the meadow to loosely direct the day's activities. The Sun, featuring a baby's face, comments on the proceedings with baby noises, and it rises and sets to begin and end the show.

User Reviews

trust me, i think teletubies has already been classified under horror on IMDb.

The last comment i read said that this show should be put under horror. Well you're right! This stupid show scares me. My little sister convinced me to watch it and i regret it ever since. I watched it and it was a drag. You can't understand what they're saying. It's stupid! This does not help little children learn in anyway. But it will teach parents one more thing, DON'T WATCH TELETUBIES. I'm actually scared of these stupid little teletubies. This is probably the scariest thing i've seen next to Saw 1,2, and 3. Yo just don't see good children's shows these days. It's so sad. But i'm not surprised. Most PBS shows are usually crappy and not educational to children. I don't see how anybody can like this show. The stupid baby talk does not help little toddlers with their steps in trying to speak. To be honest, a good parent would keep their children away from this show at all costs. My little sister is 10 and she just got this to make fun of it. It was pretty much pointless for her to even get it. If i could i'd give this show a -1/10.
