 Tickle U: Is It Selling to Your 2 Year Old?
Tickle U isn't actually a program in itself, but instead is a two-hour block of a variety animated short series, all of which are expressly developed to appeal to the youngest television audience members.
In fact, had the network's PR people not extolled the virtues of using Tickle U as a method for developing a sense of humor in toddlers, there's a good chance these cartoons would disappear under the radar with the dozens of other animated titles cluttering the cable and satellite systems each day.
In small doses, along with close parental involvement, Tickle U could be a nice TV time for parent and child.

Tickle Me Elmo — a fuzzy red doll patterned after a Sesame Street muppet — went from languishing on store shelves to creating department store stampedes and making millions for its manufacturer Tyco Toys — all because a shrewd promotion involving talk show host Rosie O'Donnell and a little luck.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Tickle Me Elmo dolls were in such scarce supply that ads cropped up in newspapers asking for as much as $2000 per doll.

Marketing Tickle U in preschools undermines parents’ attempts to discourage excessive television viewing among their young children.

 Joking matters
The seven shows that make up Tickle U - titles such as "Peppa Pig," "Little Robots" and "Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs" - are either light on dialogue or written so that characters speak simply enough for a preschooler to follow along.
The next morning, we sat down and watched "Peppa Pig" on Tickle U and it was nice, sharing a chair, talking about what the characters were doing and what might happen next.
The idea that watching the Tickle U programs will teach kids to have a sense of humor - and therefore is good for kids - is "essentially deceptive," Linn said.
