Not trying to knock it, but there's a reason Sesame Street is still running after 50 years and Teletubbies lasted 4; kinda striking to me that it was pretty much a '90s thing, save a year.

Telletubbies was a weird show, but it was still something decent to watch for its time.

Let's not forget - this was a British show, and their humor is.... Questionable.

Eh, since the new season of Doctor Who is on the air, I figured I would change mine to a picture of the 13th Doctor played by Jodie Whittaker.

I know right. Teletubbies was quite possibly the weirdest kid show ever created. Having imagined such bizarre, otherworldly concepts as alien creatures with TVs attached to their stomachs, a sun with a baby's face on it, speakers that randomly pop up out of the ground for no reason, and a certain sketch about a lion and a bear that still disturbs me as an adult I would be shocked if the creators of Teletubbies weren't on some serious drugs. I've even read that the show was frequently viewed by stoner college kids thanks to it's weird material. It's a show that appeals to both toddlers and Cheech & Chong equally. That's kinda strange.
Even more weird than this?

Jim Henson with the Thought Lion from The Jim Henson Hour. I picked it because even though it's a more Summer-y picture, I thought it was perfect avatar material.
Cool! I don't see how it's too Summer-y anyway. In fact, that snow white lion reminds me more of Winter.
