Tweenies

Tweenies is a British live-action children's television series created by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan. The program is focused on four characters, known as the "Tweenies", playing, singing, dancing, and learning in a fictional daycare. They are cared for by two adult Tweenies and two dogs.

390 episodes were broadcast between September 6, 1999 and July 25, 2002. In 2000, the show won a BAFTA award for Best Preschool Live Action series, and singles featuring exclusive songs spent some weeks in the charts during the early 2000s. The series premiered on the BBC's children's block, and aired reruns on CBeebies from the channel's launch in 2002 until 2016. In the United States, it was shown on Noggin from 2003 to 2006. It also aired on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block from July 18 to September 25, 2003.

Why It Won't Make You Come and Play

 * 1) Poor and cliché characterization:
 * 2) *Bella ( blue ) is a stereotypical, bossy mean girl and causes things to go wrong with her overconfidence.
 * 3) *Milo ( purple ) is overly hyperactive and energetic. His voice actor also constantly yells his lines.
 * 4) *Fizz ( yellow ) is a brat who gets whiny and grumpy for the smallest reasons. She and Milo also don't get along sometimes.
 * 5) *Jake ( orange ) is a punching bag whom the other Tweenies leave out and exclude from their games all because they feel he isn't big enough to join them.
 * 6) The whole show is extremely repetitive.
 * 7) Doodles is a rip-off of Scooby-Doo.
 * 8) "Fizz is Sucking Her Thumb" is a torture episode for Fizz because the other Tweenies treat her like a baby all for acting like one. Fizz herself also acts immature throughout, even before the Tweenies start treating her like a baby.
 * 9) Very crude and poor-looking animation. The CGI effects also hadn't aged well.
 * 10) The Tweenies themselves look very creepy.
 * 11) The lost US dub that is made in 2003 and aired on Noggin is pointless. "Telly Time" and "News Time" were also unnecessarily changed to "Video Time" and "Circle Time". The dub was ended in-between the same year and 2006.
 * 12) *In Canada, the US//Noggin dub replaced the original UK dub on BBC Kids.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The show can make daycare, preschool and kindergarten seem fun to children.
 * 2) It encourages children to play along with the Tweenies, sing songs, and dance.
 * 3) The theme song can be catchy (however this depends on who you are).

Reception
Tweenies currently holds a 4.9/10 on IMDb and was criticized by Caddicarus along with Tweenies: Game Time (the PS1 video game based on the show).
