When the production of teletubbies finished they had 367 episodes, which was enough to have it running all year round, and with new audiences being born, it never got old.
With the characters being played by puppets or in costume, the actors were replaceable also meaning they could run for a longer time.
Recently (in the past 5 years) Childrens tv have adopted a new audience, pre-teens and teenagers and sometimes even adults too! All the craze over adventure time, a program that spoke to all generations with hidden meanings, a moral code and well thought out characters.
Half of the profits from children's TV now comes from MERCHANDISE. Children begging for their favorite character in teddy form or model, or children who want a whole bedroom themed by their favorite show!
