'Teletubbies' is a BBC television program shown around the world (in the United States on PBS) created by the brilliant 'Ragdoll Productions'.
The program is geared towards a target audience of one to four year olds, but has developed an amazing adult following. Perhaps 30% of the viewership are between the ages of 18 and 35, quite an interesting thing in itself. The show is utterly surreal, totally without guile, and filled with innocent and loving play. Without question it is one of the most visually striking programs in history, and certainly the most gentle. In Teletubbieland, there is no Sesame Street 'Bert and Ernie' teasing, no 'Barney' moralizing, but only the most pure and sweet playfulness. Teletubbies. Teletubbies is a British BBC children's television series targeted at pre-school viewers and produced from 31 March 1997 to 5 January 2001 by Ragdoll Productions.
It was created by Ragdoll's creative director Anne Wood CBE and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. The programme's original narrator was Tim Whitnall. Teletubbies was also aired internationally; in the United States, it was broadcast on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) public television from 6 April 1998 until 19 June 2005, and would continue to air reruns until 29 August 2008, when it was pulled from the schedule.[1] In 2002, production was cancelled and it was announced that no new episodes would be produced, with the last episode being aired on 5 January 2001. However, a total of 365 episodes had been produced – enough for a full year.[2] Overview Characters.

Movement is clumsy - similar to that of a small person in a highly restrictive outfit. All Teletubbies have a cranial protrusion that extends vertically and can vary widely in shape and size between different specimens. Teletubbies can also be identified by the unending stream of nonsense emerging from their mouths. Social Structure Teletubbies typically live in groups of four in a communal dwelling. The preferred environment for a Teletubby dwelling is among many gentle, undulating and very strange looking hillocks. Teletubby residences are sparsely furnished, with one table and a number of small beds.
