What Parents Need to Know
About Teletubbies
Parents need to know that this show out of Great Britain is a big hit with toddlers and preschoolers. It's never explained exactly what the Teletubbies are, but they're ultimately cute and benign. But the question comes down to this: How old should children be before they are introduced to television? The American Academy of Pediatrics doesn't recommend any TV time for kids under 2; that said, there are no content concerns within this show for the youngest viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why kids are so enthralled by the Teletubbies (and perhaps why a lot of parents aren't!). Is it the colorful characters? Their special language? Their bright, fantastical world? The fact that they repeat themselves so often? What do kids learn from these happy, giggly creatures?

Everything is not a lesson but appropiate for young. This show is meant to make your young one laugh. Stupid for parents not to let their young watch this. Everything is not a lesson. Lighten Up and let your kid watch this. I Gave it two stars because I've outgrown it.

Great for tots...
This is a very great and wonderful show for toddlers... EXCEPT FOR THE EPISODE WHEN THE TELETUBBIES SWEAR LIKE CRAZY!!!! Yeah, you know their "TUBBY TALK?" They didnt use their tubby talk in one episode, and instead they swore like crazy at eachother, and had a PILLOW FIGHT! (The pillow fight may sound okay, but guess what? Po the teletubby was INSIDE the pillow! The poor tubby was being whacked against Tinky Winky! HORRID!But no worries, because they took that episode off the air. :) Have a nice day!
