  Is Boohbah the new Teletubbies? - By Dana Stevens - Slate Magazine
The arrival of Boohbah, a new kid's TV show from Anne Wood, the British child development guru who created Teletubbies and is one of the wealthiest women in the U.K., brings both good and bad tidings for parents across America.
Unlike the four Tubbies, who dwell in pastoral simplicity in their Astroturf cottage, the Boohbahs are at the center of a complex cosmology.
The idea behind Boohbah was to create a program that would encourage young children to exercise while watching television—a laudable goal, given that, according to World Health Organization data, around 15 percent of the children in the United States are overweight.

  TV Preview: Move over 'Teletubbies,' the 'Boohbahs' are here
With her new show, Wood uses the weirdly-winning "Boohbahs" to bolster preschoolers' brains and bodies with a combination of computer technology, fantasy and humor.
Nothing happens in the show unless children (on the show's soundtrack) say the magic word "Boohbah!" The idea is to help build children's self-confidence, she added.
Asked where she came up with the name "Boohbah," Wood said she searched for a "nonsense" word with two syllables to match the sing-song chant of parents around the world as they call their children.

 Boohbah - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Boohbah is another British-TAVISTOCK funded television show/PsiOp along the lines of Teletubbies, aimed at children between thirteen and sixteen years old who are unemployable, goof off in school, and smoke crack, intended to distract the potentially meddlesome revolutionaries by encouraging them to masturbate their brains out.
The Boohbah dance is lethal to most people as it will distract most people's attension, and will most likely kill them if they were in the middle of an action that could save their live, such as dodging a car, eating, not commiting suicide, or lighting a torch in a grue infested cave.
An episode of Boohbah titled Bend Down for Whaletale was banned in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, France, and the United States because it showed a 2-frame shot of a man with large women's breasts.

 Will 'Boohbah' be next 'Teletubbies'? - Public TV/Documentary - MSNBC.com
In contrast to the Teletubbies, a quartet of playmates who each seemed a blend of Roswell alien and teddy bear, the five Boohbahs (despite resembling assorted-flavor gumdrops clad in Astroturf) are meant to be magical atoms of energy.
Two years in the works, “Boohbah” premieres on most PBS stations Jan. 19 (check local listings), when, if “Teletubbies” is any predictor, it becomes a cultural touchstone — and, for parents within earshot of the television, the bane of their existence.
Even the title was carefully thought out to be a pleasing two-syllable word that rolls off the tongue with the same familiar intonation with which a mother might summon her child.

 Field Study: Boohbah Physiology and Behavior
The orange hued Boohbah seems to be the leader or alpha-male (assuming the creatures possess normal mammalian gender delineations) and behaves the most aggressively, often leading the others in hour long dances that increase in speed until the Boohbahs all fall over from exhaustion.
The blue Boohbah seems to be the youngest of the group and it frequently wanders off and must be corralled into performing the coordinated dancing by either the pink or yellow Boohbah.
While four of the Boohbahs including the orange male were feasting I snuck in behind the seemingly exhausting purple Boohbah and managed to strike it with a dart laced with a powerful sedative.
