Wow... Just... WOW! I've never seen an Icelandic production this awesome. I admit that it's for kids, but there's a lot of stuff for even adults to enjoy as well. In fact, it's so good, that it managed to cut the obesity rate of Iceland, and increase the fruit intake rate by about 15%. Unlike these pandering smuts like Toopy and Binoo which says: "I LUV EATING TREES", LazyTown shows their own way of teaching via actions, and they also have clever wordplay, like Sports Candy, also known as fruit. The actors of Stephanie and Sportacus are really talented in aerobics, and the one that steals the show for me is Robbie Rotten, with his crazy antics and disguises. In fact, when his actor had pancreatic cancer, endless memes paying homage to him boomed in the internet, which means that this show's success is incredibly high. The creator, writer and star, Magnus Scheving, felt that there wasn't much sports role models around the world, so he decided to turn himself into the ever lovely sports hero, Sportacus. This show is so full of charisma and awesome actions, that it leaves me saying: "More of this for the kids please. Less of... that (Teletubbies and Toopy and Binoo) please."

I think it is a great show for the whole family: It is fun, clever and original, also all the characters are interesting,charming and have unique personalities.The music and the visuals of this shows are pretty good, it is easy why so many people like this show: It has all the virtues that define good entertainment for the whole family.It is a clean show without any of the annoying (And inappropriate) contents that sadly are so common in TV this days.I wish there were more shows like this. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is very good.

Now, I know that Lazy Town is intended to be a program for young children to start developing good habits like brushing their teeth, getting enough sleep and eating fruit (or "Sports Candy" as they refer to it on the show), but there's a whole lot more going on here that makes it entertaining fare for anyone who wants to give it a look.The program's theme song explains the premise, just as many of the classic sitcoms did. There's a new girl in town and she's looking Pink. Stephanie (played by Julianna Rose Mauriello in seasons 1 and 2, Chloe Lang, thereafter) is the prepubescent niece of the mayor of Lazy Town and comes there to live. The other children she encounters there are all well-crafted puppets. Ziggy is the Youngest: a blond, cape wearing wannabe hero who favors taffy as a treat. Stingy lives up to his name by claiming everything he sees as his own. Pixel is a tech expert who has a giant satellite dish on his house. And Trixie is a wise cracking athletic type.There is a guy named Robbie Rotten (played by Stefán Karl Stefánsson), an exceptional villain if only because he wears spats! But the lantern-jawed stylish character is brilliant because you always know what's on his mind: he wants Lazy Town to remain lazy. But Stephanie is bored with a town where nothing happens and her puppet uncle explains that in the past, there was a superhero called "Number 9." She tries to contact him, but is surprised when she is greeted by a guy in a giant airship (which he pedals himself) who first identifies himself as Number 10, but his name is Sportacus (series creator, writer and star, Magnús Scheving). Sportacus is an acrobatic athlete who can't go anywhere unless he is flipping and leaping and doing mid-air splits to get there. He has a magic crystal on his chest that flashes when someone is town is in trouble and is always ready to either help or have fun, whichever is needed.There are a lot of wonderful things about this show, from the topsy turvy curvy styled world the characters inhabit (including a really brilliant set design and green screen technique to make the puppets and humans interact seamlessly) to the personalities of each castmemeber, it's cute and clowny and funny and great for anyone who gets the concepts to view.It's a program gentle enough for very young children and fun and active enough for pre-teens to watch, and there's a lot for parents to like here as well.There are some lessons about life here, but there's enough entertainment that it doesn't feel like it's some sort of lecture. The songs performed are actually pretty fun to listen to, something that isn't always true for kids' shows with music. And Robbie is as hilarious as a villain can be.There are elements of camp that recall the television version of "Batman," and the Muppets, and for that alone, the series deserves kudos! It's a smart show that never talks down to its core audience.Lazy Town may not change the world (who knows? Maybe it will!) but it might get the kids to think about being healthy and get them to try some back flips off the couch instead of just sitting on it!

as a 21 year old nanny of 3 children; ages 5, 3, and 1. i LOVE this show. the music is so upbeat and it sounds "techno", but with kids lyrics. i jam out to it in my car!! and not to mention, Sportacus is easily the most gorgeous man on ANY kids show. maybe even the best looking man I've seen on TV! i LOVE this show, and watch it about 3-5 times per day! i even have dance parties with the kids i nanny to all the songs from the show, and i myself know every word to the majority of the songs. i also think it has an excellent message for children about working out and eating healthy, because we all know kids don't always want to eat right. this show sets the standards high for other kids shows out there and if they ever stop showing Lazy Town, i do not know what i would do.
