LazyTown

Lazytown is an energetic childrens' show. The weirdest things about this show is Why does Stephanie wear pink all the time? And the weirdest thing about this show is Why does Sportachicken even call fruits and veggies Sports Candy? Veggies don't even taste sweet. I would root for the villain of this show. It's LAZY-Town. Not Energy-Town! Hope this review was enjoyed by anyone in particular.

I'm just going to flat out say this, LazyTown is without a doubt one of the best children's tv shows on Nick Jr.

It's educational and teaches kids how to be more active, the characters are especially enjoyable such as our pink haired heroine Stephanie who is a terrific dancer and singer, very energetic and cheerful might I add.

And speaking of enjoyable characters there is the dashing Sportacus, an atheletic "Above Average" superhero type who can do amazing acrobatic moves, his actor Magnus Scheving is also the creator of the show and is a former athlete in real life.

But by far the most well loved character is Robbie Rotten (in the Islandic version he is called Glanni Glpur) who is the main villain, Robbie is a master of disguise and is very much similar to Jim Carrey in the way of mannerisms (especially if you've seen the 2000 live action adaptation of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, you'd notice a similarity between Robbie and Jim Carrey's portrayal of the famous green meanie).

He even makes funny faces similar to the way Jim does and is a brilliant character, he has truly show-stopping villain song numbers in some of the episodes. And he never does anything truly scary or evil, he just enjoys being mischevious and a trickster for the fun of it - well that and he wants to make sure everyone in town stays lazy.

The supporting cast are mainly puppets including Ziggy (a blonde chubby boy who likes eating sweets), Pixel (an African American boy who is a computer genius), Stingy (a snobby rich boy who considers everything to be his own), and Trixie (a girl with a scooter and black hair who is a sarcastic and often spunky practical joker).

There's also Mayor Meanswell who is Stephanie's beloved uncle and the mayor, he is a bit clumsy but is also kindly and has good advice to give out sometimes.

Miss Busybody is the love interest of Mayor Meanswell, she has blue hair in a beehive style and is always seen talking on her phone.

Sportacus travels around in an airship that has quite a good supply of health food and sports equipment as well as other items needed. He moves around by doing backflips and other acrobatic moves.

Robbie on the other hand has a lair filled with all sorts of kooky high tech gadgetry as well as various disguises he often wears to try and fool the people of the town. Robbie slinks around causing all sorts of mischief, kind of like the Grinch.

If you have a small child of your own, I heavily reccomend showing them this show because I gurantee they will love this.

Now I grew up with Nickelodeon and in the morning when I had off from school, I would go and watch Nick Jr. They had a lot of good shows like Allegra's Window, Blue's Clues and Gullah Gullah Island (who could forget Binyah Binyah? :P) Now, 15 years later, there's Dora the Explorer, Dora's cousin Diego (how the heck did he get a spinoff), Yo Gabba Gabba which makes me not wanna be a Pinhead no more and this beast.

This show is awful. It isn't an American show, it isn't a British show, it's from freaking Iceland. Everything is messed up. The characters consist of some weird dude with a giant chin, a Sakura-Chan fangirl and a bunch of puppets who look more like midgets. How this show won awards I'll never know because it's stupid, badly dubbed and annoying. Skip it.moreless

I watch this show daily with my three year old, along with many other preschool oriented shows on Noggin. I think it's a great show. It teaches kids that its good to be active, and healthy, and in a country where half of the kids are over weight that's a good thing. I also think that it teaches kids to be nice to other people, cause you have Robby rotten which is always trying to ruin things for the kids but they never really dislike him. So yeah to all of you nay-sayers out their that don't like the show just because you're an adult how hard is it to just change the channel. I mean they didn't create the show for adults they created it for little children, and children like bright colors, funny songs, and as for the fact of the impossible moves that Spartacus does. That's just endears the show even more to children, cause at this age, half of the stuff that they are trying to do seem pretty impossible to them at first, until they get it.moreless

Lazy Town should be praised more it's not as good as Backyardigans but it's way better then Dora. The Story is about a girl named stephnie who moves to Lazy Town for her summer vacation. She meets these kids who are incredibly lazy so she gets help from Sportacus to whip Lazy Town back into shape and stop Robbie Rotten's evil plans to make Lazy Town lazy. It was a great,colorful show that taught kids how to be active. Their songs were up-beat and catchy. Even though their were more puppents then people it's still pretty funny. Plus, It's cool When Sporticus does some actiony things. Too bad it's not on. Also, too bad kids would rather watch some big headed spanish girl with some singing map and a klepto Maniac fox which he snatches stuff then justs throw it into no-where. What kind of robber does that. But I'm getting off-track nick jr. should defiatly bring this show back.moreless
