Adjust that antenna would you? I'm getting "Po" reception....


Day 29.1

Teletubbies was a BBC children's television series, primarily aimed at pre-school viewers, produced from 1997 to 2001. The program first aired on 31 March 1997, was syndicated in the United States on the PBS network on 6 April 1998 and aired until June 19, 2005. In 2001 production was canceled and it was announced that no new episodes would be produced, with the last episode being aired on 5 January 2001.

The program revolves around the adventures of Teletubbies, Tinky Winky, who is purple; Dipsy, who is green; Laa-Laa, who is yellow; and Po, who is red. Each Teletubbie also has a geometric antenna on top of their head. In the show, the four colourful Teletubbies play in the cheerful and fun Teletubbyland. They do things that little children like to do, such as rolling on the ground, laughing, running about, and watching real children on the televisions on their bellies. 

Once Teletubbies was canceled, the four Teletubbies were set loose to roam the countryside, free from the burden of adult life and responsibility. Due to the uniqueness of their species, international recognition and specific diet of “Tubby Custard”; no one country opted to claim, legalized their residency, nor label Teletubbies within a genus, species or phylum.  As a result the Teletubbies lost their work visas in the US, UK and most of Europe. 

Big game hunters became aware of the “rogue” status of the Teletubbies in late 2007, sparking a craze to obtain and use the antenna possessed by each Teletubby to gain crystal-clear reception, view all satellite signals (including extra-terrestrial transmissions) and universal compatibility with every electronic device known to man.

The current whereabouts of the Teletubbies are unknown.
