I saw it once and I think it's creepy, I saw it while I was working on a set and the horizontal frequency was off such that there was two images on the screen, one on the right one on the left, and that might have added to the effect, but either way I think the show is damn creepy, in a bad trip, nightmarish kind of way. I think it's creepy as hell, no way I would show it to children, it'll give them bad dreams, it gave me bad dreams. On the other hand, I've been watching the twilight zone, outer limits, etc. (shows which are supposed to be creepy) since I was 7 years old and first got my own tv and have enjoyed watching them ever since. Now there are cartoons I do like to watch, but teletubbies, keep that stuff away from me.

Pee Wee's Playhouse was initially started by a bunch of adult comics and punk rockers and quite dirty. It was toned down for children, but there's still some adult themes strongly prevalent throughout the show. Heck, even Mark Mothersbaugh (you may remember him from DEVO) writes music for the RugRats. I'll sit and watch Pee Wee's playhouse and Ren and Stimpy, no issue. I can tolerate Spongebob. And as for Teletubbies, indeed it's a trippy show and can be enjoyed for it's oddball production and strange psychedelic presentation. Reminds me of Sid & Marty Kroft's "H&R Puffinstuff". Indeed, no "Twin Peaks", but enjoyment can be found in it. For the record, no kids myself. I have a lovely niece though.

In all honesty, I've only seen Teletubbies a few times, well actually a little more than a few with the two kids. And I do think it is a brilliantly conceived show. I do like to stand behind the show though since so many make fun of it.
And I hope you know I don't get the TT times, if it even exists.... Now, Rocky and Bullwinkle is another story...

I was a huge Ren & Stimpy fan, too. I may have to try that on my kids.

I can't seem to find Ren and Stimpy anywhere on the tube nowadays or my kids would be watching it too. I enjoy SpongeBob ( especially Patrick) and other kids programming like The Backyardigans and Toopie and Binoo. I've got a wide age range of kids ( 8 months to 11 yrs) so I've spent more than a decade evaluating kids programming. Much of it is quite catchy and interesting.
I ask you now,would you rather have your little minds watching some of the provocative smut that passes for prime time TV? As I type this I'm watching Toy Story 2 on DVD and my 5yr old and infant are loving every second of it. Mike

Got my grandson (now 9) hooked on "Tom & Jerry" when he was about 2. Still just about my all-time fave...no dialogue...story's told with just action, expressions & music. He also got Laurel & Hardy immediately...thought he'd pee his pants laughing while watching "The Music Box". (the one where they're trying to haul the piano up that lonnnnng flight of stairs.) Much to his Mom & Dad's chagrin got him hooked on the Stooges, too. Nyuk, Nyuk.

Ren & Stimpy used (among other things) Classical, Jazz and blues recordings, some from the likes of Raymond Scott (who also created electronic equipment long before Bob Moog was) and some of it influenced, though not performed by, Spike Jones.
No surprise, then, to know Tom & Jerry also used Classical, Jazz and blues recordings with great success. Scott Bradley was influenced by Spike Jones and Raymond Scott's music, and I wonder if Spike Jones and Raymond Scott was ever used in a T&J cartoon...
