subject: Teletubbies To Be Replaced By The Zingzillas As Most Popular Kids Tv Show [print this page] The Teletubbies first aired on TV screens back in 1997, the show was aimed at pre-schoolers and their parents and featured four friendly alien creatures called Tinkywinky, Dipsy, Lala and Po. The episode format was very similar each week with the characters wandering around their home, tidying up and having fun followed by a 5 minute slot where they would all sit down and watch an educational programme from the televisions in their stomachs. The show quickly rose in popularity to become one the most watched and well known children's television programme of the past ten years and has since gone relatively unchallenged in its domination of the children's airwaves, that is until the Zingzillas came along.
The Zingzillas are a 4piece band of musical apes made up of a monkey, a gorilla, an orang-utan and a chimpanzee. Zak, Tang, Drum and Panzee learn about a style of music from a different culture each week, taught to them by one of many musical guests that appear on the show. The zingzillas then take what they have learnt in each episode and create their musical own musical masterpiece that is performed at the end of each episode in a segment called the big zing. The show looks to inspire creativity in children while at the same time teaching them and making them aware of different cultures and sounds from the around the world, musical guests helping out on the show include the solo cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, Jazz singer Cleo Laine and the British mezzo soprano Sarah Connolly.
Although still a relatively new show the Zingzillas already have a devoted following of 200,000 fans every episode, a statistics that exceeds the original popularity of the the Teletubbies first TV run. Combine this with the huge demand for the new range of Zingzillas toys and dolls that have recently entered the market and it's not hard to predict that the musical gang of Zak, Tang, Panzee and Drum are set to follow on a very similar path to that of the Teletubbies. The avid following of children and parents is growing weekly as the popularity of the show spreads through a combination of clever marketing and word of mouth.
The show is still in its infancy and thus it would be difficult to predict whether the popularity of the Zingzillas will reach the same heights as the Teletubbies did in their prime, but they are currently the most popular children's show on TV and the Zingzillas toys the biggest selling toys on the high street.
