Teletubbies All Fall Down! By Willow on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
A lot can be said against Teletubbies. They do not talk, so they do not stimulate the baby's language development. They do not educate, only entertain, and they are plain weird - stuffed-toy-come-alive aliens with TV screens in their belly.
I can agree with some of that; Teletubbies definitely should not be used as a babysitting service, with the baby watching them all day long. But, on the other hand, I think those who strongly oppose this show take Teletubbies too seriously. Teletubbies are made for very young children, no wonder the show is so simple. They are cute and friendly, you can be sure they are not going to frighten your child, and you know they will not do anything mean or inappropriate.
This particular DVD shows Teletubbies falling, which, if you stop and think of it, is something of importance for a baby who is starting or will be soon starting to walk. The way Teletubbies fall shows that it is not scary or painful; it just happens, and it can actually be quite funny, and then you just get up and go again.
When my grandson was little, he watched Teletubbies in moderation, and I think the simple concepts they introduced and the way they introduced them were helpful.

My daughters all watched the tubbies. They are all fine. LOL
My grandchildren liked them and still do.. They are cute..
Teletubbies are weird but in a cute way :)
Our son likes the teletubbies and their singing.
They are a bit strange to me, but lots of children really love them. They are all sweet,happy and friendly - can't go wrong with that.
Teletubbies came out after my kids were past toddler age, it always made me wonder why folks thought they were horrible, they look cute and cuddly.
I TOTALLING disapprove of the Teletubbies! Teletubbies came out when my son was just a baby, when browsing shows for him to watch, I could not believe my eyes and ears- they do not educate in any way, shape or form. They don't even talk correctly - they talk baby talk! Is this what you want to teach your child?? I am shocked this was even broadcasted - it is totally STUPID!
