Advantages: Not a lot really.

Disadvantages: Poor educational value and too repetative.

My grandkids love to watch CBeebies and most of the time I do not mind them watching a bit of TV but when it comes to the Teletubbies I am none too keen.

The reason I do not mind them watching a bit of TV is that most of the CBeebies shows have a fair bit of educational value to them but the Teletubbies has none.

The show is all bright colours and I have to admit there is one part of the show when they look into the TV and watch a clip that is educational but the language used by the Tubbies is all babyish language obviously aimed at a child's level but it encourages the child to copy this made up baby language rather than to develop their speech.

The shows are all very similar too and only really the bit with the clip has any real difference to what the rest of the shows had and I don't see this repetition as being very good for the kids either.

This show was first shown on TV back in 1997 and although production was ended in 2001 the shows are continuously repeated, as if they weren't bad enough the first time round!

By all means let your kiddies watch CBeebies but when the Tubbies are on I would personally recommend avoiding them!

Summary: Not recommended!
