Teletubbies and Boubah are aimed at kids aged 1.5 to 3. Of course they don't make sense to us. But make no mistake, as annoying as they are, they are very good at developing the creative minds of little children.
The original post laments the absence of shows he saw on PBS and then goes on to talk about shows today but fails to talk about what's on PBS.
You also need to know that the television Universe in 1985 is radically different from what exists today. In 1985 there was no Nick or Nick Jr, no Noggin, no N, you get the idea. The networks and PBS were where you went for programming for kids.
NBC no longer programs its Saturday morning block. It is run by Discovery. The ABC block is all Disney and CBS is a mixture of things...
PBS still consistently programs "family entertainment" with no violence and no commercials.
The real question is why do we let our kids watch so much television to begin with?
