Children's Television in Singapore

I try on occassion to blog about the mundane stuff in Singapore that we take for granted now so that our families get a flavor of how we live.  I thought Children's television might interest some as Halie is now to that age where she likes to occassionally eye the tv.  We have a wide variety of children's television here ranging from the normal Nickelodeon and Disney channels to Halie's favorite "CBeebies", a BBC channel dedicated to children's programming.  Some of you might have heard of it over a decade ago as it is the channel that originally brought the Teletubbies to the screen in England.  Just like Dannette, Halie seems to LOVE the teletubbies.
She does however have some other shows that she enjoys, all of which are on CBeebies and that I had never heard of before coming here. Maybe I was just out of the kid show loop.  If you have heard of these shows before leave a comment :)

In the Night Garden - this is adorable with characters like Makka Pakka, Igle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, and the Tombliboos (starting from bottom left and then moving to back row) 

The Waybuloos - still haven't quite figured this show out but it involves crystals and these characters float.  I thought that was the whole concept but now I see there seems to be some yoga component to it as they have live children during a regular segment performing yoga poses.  Halie loves it, I think its too complicated to understand.

Five Minutes More - this is absolutely my fave.  Its a 5-7 minute show that airs between certain shows.  The concept is the animals provide "just one more story" before bed.  Each episode one of the animals gets to be the story teller and the story evolves from one of the squares you see on the bed quilt.

Everything's Rosie (with a little help from our friends) - I have only seen this a few times but I love watching Halie dance to the theme song!
