I have watched Teletubbies a number of times and mostly cannot figure out what's going on. Half the dialog is in noises, not words. There a baby's face in the middle of the Sun. This article seeks to clarify a little by examining what about TeleTubbies and its Japanese counterpart, Inai-Inai-baa, makes good children's television. Both programs try to adapt scenes from the say-to-day experiences of infants, though interestingly "Teletubbies is totally made from the child's viewpoint while Inai-Inai-baa adopts both the child's and parent's points of view."
