As a child of the original Teletubbies, I'm hopeful for a rightful return of my favorite character…Noo-noo. According to the website for the characters and series, he is "A much-loved companion of the Teletubbies, the Noo-noo is fantastic at cleaning up! There's nothing the Noo-noo likes more than snuffling up globs of custard. The Noo-noo likes to keep the Dome clean when the Teletubbies are having messy fun with Tubby Custard or Tubby Toast. Noo-noo doesn't only clean up the Teletubbies' mess, but he also has a lot of fun hoovering up silly things in Tinky Winky's bag. The Teletubbies love to chase Noo-noo around the Dome!" Although he looks confused and concerned most of the time, you can't help but love him. Let us know in the comments any memories you might have from watching Teletubbies and who your favorite character is!
