- ―The intro
Teletubbies is a British pre-school children's television series created by Ragdoll Productions' Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport. Because PBS co-owned Sprout when the channel was launched, it aired a variety of shows from its archive library on Sprout, including reruns of Teletubbies.
Plot[]
- "Teletubbies is a celebration of children's play. This series introduces young children - ages one to three - to the wonders and magic of high-tech in a safe and friendly way. The series is also a wonderful opportunity for parents to share the joy of first discovery through children's eyes." (link)

Notes[]
- A revival of the series aired on Nick Jr. in 2015. A third series, narrated by Tituss Burgess, premieres on Netflix on November 14th, 2022.
- The Teletubbies were featured in the Rain ident, but were replaced by Chica from The Sunny Side Up Show in 2009 (the same year Sprout rebranded).
- When Sprout Diner was discontinued and Sprout scrapped Teletubbies, the Sunshine Toast recipe was themed after The Sunny Side Up Show.
- Footage from the show's Sprout Diner episode was reused from the "Ride a Cockhorse" segment from the UK episode "Yellow Cow" and the US episode "Emily and Jester."
- Footage from the UK episode "Naughty Sock Returns" was used in the Teletubbies Cupcakes episode of The Birthday Show.
- Sprout had their own versions of Teletubbies episodes that aired exclusively on there.
- The clip of Lucy's Teletubbies introduction on The Good Night Show was of the clip in the theme song where they pop up in front of the screen and say "Eh-Oh."[2]
- When the show would air after The Sunny Side Up Show, the camera would cut to the show right away rather than fading to black as a transition.
