Get ready to dance, explore and laugh with the newest iteration of the world-renowned preschool brand Teletubbies is back and now you can watch it on Family Jr. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po arrive in Canadian homes this year to entertain little ones. I am glad to see Teletubbies return, as the initial series I used to watch with my nephews probably more than a decade ago. That time Teletubbies were extremely popular that kids wanted only Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po toys and Teletubbies themes birthday parties. With the wide selection of programming on TV for pre-schoolers I often not very familiar with characters and their names, but with Teletubbies Teddy was even surprised that I know the names of the characters and their behavior.


Join the iconic Teletubbies – Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po – in a world filled with love and laughter as they explore their Home Dome and the magical countryside of Teletubbyland through comedic and physical play. A staple to the series are the positive themes highlighted by the Teletubbies including sharing, respect for others and inclusiveness. Familiar and beloved features from the original series return including The Noo-noo, Tubby Custard, Tubby Toast, Rabbits, Voice Trumpets and Baby Sun, and are joined by some brand new surprises guaranteed to delight Family Jr.’s youngest viewers. Look out for the Tubby Phone, the Tubby Custard Ride and the Teletubbies’ new CGI-enhanced touch screen tummies, which will link to preschoolers exploring, laughing and learning – just like the Teletubbies!
