Review of Teletubbies

Teletubbies (1997–2001)
4/10
Harmless But Unexceptional
13 April 2016
I must first state that I agree that this show is a bit over hated. There are some redeeming qualities, such as the landscape, which I think is very pretty and charming. Those surroundings look a bit like a golf course but with the addition of cute fluffy bunnies. I also don't have any problem with their speech pattern, they're meant to resemble toddlers after all. The segments shown on the Teletubbies' stomachs are also very interesting. With that said, I myself don't particularly care for it although I do think that it gets a little too much hate. My main problem is that it is extremely repetitive. For example, after you see the videos on the Teletubbies's belly screens they play the same video again. In fact, pretty much everything is repeated ad nauseum. My other problem with Teletubbies is that in their grassy mound of a house (apparently called the "tubbytronic superdome" or something) they have a pet: a very creepy vacuum-type thing called Nunu. This thing communicates solely with uncanny sucking sounds, has bloodshot eyes, and appears out of nowhere. I found it very creepy when I first saw this as a kid and still find that thing creepy as an adult. To compare, Maleficiant scared me when I was little but I outgrew that, while Nunu gives me the creeps to this day. In conclusion, not as bad as they say but I would have preferred if everything wasn't replayed "again" and if it were just the Teletubbies without their scary pet.
