The show was first big Christmas 1997 but wasn't it for 3 year olds and younger.

He could have adopted like most gay couples who want kids.

Or he could have his own kids——he had a wife.

I’m torn, is Teletubbie better or worse in your obituary than aspiring rapper?

He was definitely married and had children. He was a trained ballet dancer and choreographer, but you’d be surprised how many of them are heterosexual.

I saw one video.... they seemed to be unisex? They all tried on a tutu to dance in. They were all very happy.
I found the whole thing to be odd.....

Jean Claude Van-Damm was a trained ballet dancer as well.
I was just trying to egg the initial joke on.

I always thought the Teletubbies were cute, despite being a little surreal. They were colorful and bouncy, with pleasant sounds, and seemed to appeal to tiny kids - not much different from the colorful and sometimes musical mobiles that folks put over a baby’s crib.
But my absolute favorite of the kid shows that I saw as an adult, was ‘Oswald’ - (probably for slightly older kids). Clever characters and story-lines:
