The programme features four colourful tubby characters: Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, who live within a futuristic dome (the "Tubbytronic Superdome"), set in a landscape of rolling grassland. The environment is dotted with unusually talkative flowers and periscope-like "voice trumpets". The only natural fauna are rabbits (although birds are often heard, particularly blackcaps and wrens). The climate is always sunny and pleasant save for occasional inclement days, with rain and puddles, and snow at Christmas time.

The teletubbies like to gather on moo-moo hill when they look through their Television stomachs. This name has been recently created by people who watch the show and has not been embraced by the creators.

If you think the Teletubbies are wacky, check out his other creation - Boohbah.

Dude had to have been on some really good acid.

that only question i'm asking myself is why you watched teletubbies. i know you're desperate, but common! and is there ever any need for a reason to create a stupid colorful psychotic TV show for kids?

2) ????
3) profit $$$

Tinky-Winky controversy
One of the Teletubbies, Tinky Winky, was the focus of a still hinted-at controversy in 1999 due to his carrying a bag that looks much like a woman's handbag (although he was first "outed" by the academic and cultural critic Andy Medhurst in a letter of July 1997 to The Face).

A February 1999 article in the National Liberty Journal, published by evangelical pastor Jerry Falwell, warned parents that Tinky could be a hidden homosexual symbol, saying "he is purple?the gay pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle?the gay pride symbol."

A spokesman for Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co., who licenses the characters in the United States, said it was just a magic bag. "The fact that he carries a magic bag doesn't make him gay. It's a children's show, folks. To think we would be putting sexual innuendo in a children's show is kind of outlandish."

In an incident reported in 2000, a girl's Tinky Winky toy reportedly said "I got a gun". Kenn Viselman, then chairman of the Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co., claimed the toy actually said "Again, Again."

LMFAO

I think the show is interesting for teaching little kids that the sun has a baby's face.
