Are the TeleTubbies good for kids?

Cookie Monster is a bad example because he eats too many sweets, which is considered gluttony.

Then What about “Big Bird” or “Barney”…I love him…he loves me…we’re a perfect family…

Sounds kind of kinky to me but we’ll have to ask Jerry Falwell about that.

I wonder what the Church Police would think???

You know they re-did his character of late for that very reason right? He’s supposed to be eating healthier snacks besides the cookies all the time…so sad…LOL

Will they now have to change his name to “Granola Bar Monster”? Or “Salad Monster”?

Even “The Count” is tame and lame these days. No longer is he a wild, obsessive/compulsive counter with lightning and thunder perpetually following him around. Now he is more like a polite vampire who is just happening to point out that there are now 4 of something, now 5. When children’s programming isn’t just plain fun, it grows really boring, really fast; and loses it’s worth to even educate very well, as it is no longer entertaining. Now, that said, you can have a lot of fun satirizing “Journey with (Big Bird and) Ernie!” if you interact with them playfully. One day I caught the mutant canary doing geometric progressions. That was kind of interesting. Ernie is watered down, but hasn’t entirely lost his silliness, at least.

“C” is for celery
That’s good enough for me
“C” is for celery
That’s good enough for me
“C” is for celery
That’s good enough for me
Oh celery is good enough for me
(and non fattening)!

The new segment combining the Cookie Monster and the Count is going to be “Cookie’s Calorie Count”.

And not just kids’ programs, either! Does anyone else remember how dreary sitcoms got in the 1970s (or was it the 80s?) when all of a sudden, every episode had to deal with at least one earth-shaking issue? :yawn:

By the way, I love the Teletubbies, but I don’t have any kids, so I don’t have to worry about anyone picking up sloppy language from them!

(I love the show’s set, and those huge bunnies, too).

I’m actually not much of a teletubby person. They just don’t do anything for me and the show confuses me.

But, now, the Boobahs, OTOH… good stuff!

Ya know, I find it odd that no one has mentioned Bert and Ernie’s “relationship” yet…

Bert and Ernie’s thing is so yesterday. Old news. Now, what I’d like to know is where Elmo’s “baby” came from.

The inane teletubbies are passe´ since there’s a newshow to take their place: Boohbah. Just like the teletubbies: pointless twaddle to babysit children.

Does anyone remember the Arthur episode with about the ficitional show called “Love Ducks?” That was a parody of the Teletubbies effect on children. Now that was entertaining!

I don’t know - are you sure Boohbah isn’t a transvestite like Twinky Dink Does the show have Jerry Falwell’s seal of approval
