    Yes, I agree.
    Thankfully, my niece has not taken an interest in them.

    The first time I saw those things I got goosebumps, fell down, and laughed hysterically.

    They're better than any horror movie. [face_hypnotized]

    The intended audience ? kids aged 3 to 5


    ?We always get the adults who don?t understand what we?re trying to do,? says Anne Wood, the visionary behind the equally tripped-out ?Teletubbies? of years past.

    if ?Teletubbies? is any predictor, it becomes a cultural touchstone ? and, for parents within earshot of the television, the bane of their existence.

    But who can blame them, when the opening of the show sounds something like this: Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booh! (Kids giggling) Boohbah, Boohbah, Boohbah, Booooooooh!



    A tinkly piano is heard, along with pointed comments from an off-screen narrator: ?It?s a blue skipping rope.?

    Then Brother?s blue rope magically fuses with Sister?s red rope (Narrator: ?It?s a long skipping rope?). Soon everybody gets to jump, all at the same time. Then everybody falls down, laughing. Boohbah!

    The toys are even freakier. They make a farting noise. I was in a toy aisle when a grandmother turned one of them on, heard the farting noise, and got a funny look on her face. I had to tell her that yes, it did in fact make a farting noise.

    My 2 1/2 yo has no desire to watch the Boohbahs. I accidentally turned the TV to them one day, and he got up, and turned the tv off. LOL Give him Blue's Clues anyday, not that stupid Boohbahs crap.

    I've never even seen these things, but after the above description, I'm scared. My kids will be raised on Star Wars whether my wife likes it or not :)

    I saw them on TV once and was suddenly (for a short while), and strangely, compelled. Then, just as suddenly... I was not. I believe I have watched a Teletubbies episode all the way through though.

    I am sure Anne Wood has good intentions, but I wonder the Kids who grow up on watching the Teletubbies or Boobahs, what their intelligence and psychological mindset will be like when they are older.

    I find myself strangely addicted to this show. The purple one is my favorite, although it reminds me of my Aunt.

    PP what is up with you??? First kids bop now this?

    I saw the toy in the store today, it sang, but it sounded like shrieks... I saw sometihn about them on the daily show, they called it the downfall of western civilization...

    Remeber when people thought teletubbies was using the show to send subliminal messages to make people homosexual? Yeah well it took alot of counciling to get that out of my mind...

    I never thought I'd see anything worse than the Teletubbies, however, when I discovered these freaks, the Boohbahs, I was terrified.
