This article is about the original 1997 TV series. For the 2015 reboot, see here.

Teletubbies is a British children's television series created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport for the BBC.

The program takes place in a grassy, floral landscape populated by rabbits with bird calls audible in the background. The main shelter of the four Teletubbies is an earthhouse known as the "Tubbytronic Superdome" implanted in the ground and accessed through a hole at the top or an especially large semicircular door at the dome's foot. The Teletubbies co-exist with many strange contraptions such as the Voice Trumpets and the group's anthropomorphic blue vacuum cleaner ("Noo-Noo"). The show's colorful psychedelic setting was designed specifically to appeal to the attention spans of infants and unlock different sections of the mind while also educating young children on transitions that can be expected in life.

Though the original run ended in 2001, a reboot was ordered in 2014. It debuted on CBeebies in the United Kingdom and on Nick Jr. in the United States. Re-runs of the original 1997 series continue to be shown on relevant television channels worldwide.

The original series returned to live TV in the US on Pluto TV on 1 May 2019, but the episodes are shown in the UK format instead of the US format. The same format occurred with the series' availability on the Noggin app since 25 May 2016.
