History Series / Tweenies

* PsychoStrings: Heard in "Dirty Hands" when Fizz finds her pillow covered in Milo's dirty handprints. Cue ScreamingWoman.

* EyePop: When shocked or witnessing something of theirs getting damaged, Fizz's eyes have a tendency to spin erratically at high speeds in opposing directions.

* HairDecorations: Courtesy of Fizz and Bella. Fizz wears beads and Bella wears a bow.

* UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: Though the series is normally very upbeat and lighthearted, ''Why Do People Do Bad Things'' takes on a more serious tone. It begins with the Tweenies asking the titular question upon learning that someone had kicked Doodles in the park. Later on in the episode, Bella tells the others about racist neighbours, prompting them to sing a song with a heavy.

* AnimatedCreditsOpening: In ConspicuousCG.

** When the show was redubbed in America, it removed all references to its British environment and inserted Americanisms instead. Since the show was dubbed into many different languages, [[{{Woolseyism}} this most likely happened with their dubs as well]], but the American edition is most JustForFun/{{egregious}} due to treating their audience like [[ViewersAreGoldfish goldfish]].

* '''Surprise Time''' - occurred when all the buttons glowed, which wasn't very often. [[CaptainObvious Usually a surprise would come of it]].

''Tweenies'' is a British children's [[PuppetShows animatronic puppet series]] which debuted in 1998. Like other children's shows in rotation, it aimed to entertain as well as educate children about various life and social skills using songs, stories and the like. However, unlike some of its [[WesternAnimation/{{Teletubbies}} contemporaries]], the characters spoke in a discernable language and often directly interacted with the "outside world".

* PottyEmergency: There was one episode where the gang unwittingly [[ChainedHeat tied themselves to each other]] with this being an unfortunate side effect. Jake also had these on occasion.
* ParentalBonus Quite often:

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Despite her tomboyish traits, Bella also enjoys playing girly games with Fizz and dressing as a queen.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: [[{{Tsundere}} Bella]] and [[{{Kawaiiko}} Fizz]] were best friends.

* '''[[DeliberatelyCuteChild Jake]]''' - at two-and-a-half years old, he was the youngest in the group, and therefore needed one of the other three to explain to him what they were doing. He had a superhero alter-ego which he used to explore his fantasies, and expressed a strong interest in "masculine" things such as motor cars and football. However, he had a tendency to cry a lot, leading to the others having to comfort him every so often. He also sported an interesting-looking hairstyle that resembled a mohawk.

* '''[[AntiHero Bella]]''' - at five years old, she was the oldest in the group and the default leader. However, this also meant she was the one with the biggest sense of entitlement. Bossy and argumentative, she was the series' main source of conflict, though Milo seemed to be her main sparring partner. There were numerous episodes where she learnt a valuable lesson by the end, but this of course [[StatusQuoIsGod was forgotten by the next episode]].

The show revolved around the adventures of four young children in a daycare centre, with their two adult guardians and two dogs (who were in care of the centre). It enjoyed phenomenal success both inside and outside the UK, spawning no less than ''five'' top-twenty hits from spinoff records and [[CashCowFranchise merchandising that sold by the bucketload]]. In the U.S., it aired for a while on Noggin, before it became Creator/NickJr. The series proper ended in 2003, but home video sales, {{rerun}}s and large-scale live tours helped sustain the series' popularity for the remainder of the TurnOfTheMillennium.

* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Bella reveals in '''Being Really Old''' that her grandmother and Max went to school together.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: In one episode, Bella drives her friends away by getting angry at them for minor occurrences while she is trying to build a tent behind a curtain. A 'shoulder devil' version of herself appears, but [[FreudianTrio then begins to lecture them]] [[TheReasonYouSuck on why they are not a Tweenie, but rather, a Meanie]], complete with a short musical number.

* Kawaiiko: Fizz. She is cute and girly.

* Tsundere: Bella. Type A. She is very bossy and sometimes rude to her friends but she has a nice side.

** Milo and Bella made racing cars out of the foam shapes to the tune of The Chain by Music/FleetwoodMac, long used as the theme tune for FormulaOne on television.
