http://pbskids.org/boohbah/boohbah.html <–coming to PBS later this month.
Clicking on the orange or pink creatures shows you a better likeness of what they look like in the TV Guide insert (who’d they pay to wear this crap?) If the sounds on the site- fart/rassberry noises and squeals are any indication of what they’ll sound like on the show, I’m really really glad I don’t own a toddler or preschooler.
Wait until you see the show, it’s even scarier then that link.
Check out their offical website. :eek:
I saw a bunch of these things in a toyshop while Christmas shopping, and I thought I was having a flashback.
The horror. The horror.
Indeed, it is one of the scariest thing I have seen on TV in my memory. I’m sure kids TV wasnt this disturbing when I was young, anyone remember Wackaday with Timmy Mallet?
Good grief.
Hey Brits: can you please return to “invading” us with talented entertainers?
Timmy was a :wally rather than disturbing. But don’t forget the terrifyingDiddymen from the 1970s. They scared the shite out of me and gave me nightmares for years.
Holy crap! The Boohbahs are…well, I wouldn’t want to watch that on acid.
I looked at the Diddymen too. I’m glad I never saw those as a kid. I’d have been freaked out for life.
Sorry jjimm Diddymen was a little before my time, although Pob scared me quite alot.
(obviously I meant ‘one of the scariest things’:smack: )
yikes
Is this Ken Dobbs a funny man?
bootytp your Pob there is by Ragdoll productions. As is this new monstrosity. Looks like these people have been in the business of scarring people for a long while now.
Scarring or scaring? 
Scaring too, but that’s not a typo 
Oh my God. My kids are going to love this. Heaven help me.
So Boohbah’s are real live scary tele-horrors? I found a link to their site about 9 months ago on a webzine (W2KNews, no less), thought the flash game (www.boohbah.com/zone.swf) was interesting and downloaded it so my daughter could play with it offline. I had no idea I was priming her for a Teletubbies sequel. I feel sick.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who watched that animation of the Boohbahs dancing and thought, “Foreskins!”
Maybe you could have the TV block PBS
Am I the only one who found this Pob image to be a little offensive? And while we’re on the subject of creepy children’s programming, how about Jay Jay the Jet Plane?
I’ve never seen Jay Jay the Jet Plane before, and now I wish I hadn’t. The characters remind me of the grotesque fish in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Glad I don’t have kids…
I once had a cat named Boobah.
She was named after a character from Cerebus the Aardvark.
Just thought I’d share.
