What Parents Need to Know
About LazyTown
Parents need to know that the series' premise is to motivate viewers to dance and be acrobatic and active like the main characters. But the brightly colored sets, rubbery puppets, and spooky villain -- combined with the fast-paced jump cuts -- can create an exhausting effect. Characters are encouraged to make healthy choices like exercising, cutting down on snacks, and reading, but the point is sometimes lost in the show's chaotic nature.

We love this show.. I only wish that it had taken off in America like it has everywhere else. I somewhat agree that it is exhausting for Adults to watch but that is not what is geared toward. My son is 6 now and has been a fan since he was 3yrs old. I just hope what little we get to see of it here in the USA. doesn't leave us as well.

JUST THE BABYSITTER
WELL LAZYTOWN IS A GREAT SHOW, IT KEEPS THE KIDS STILL, WHEN THE SHOW IS ON, THE KIDS RUN AND SIT DOWN TO WATCH THEY DONT WANT ME TALKING AT ALL, AFTER THE SHOW IS OVER THEY ASK FOR THE SNACK ON THE SHOW THAT DAY, STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CARROTS, LOL.. AFTER ALL. I THINK IS GREAT FOR THEM AND THEY LEARN A LOT SPECIALLY SHARING WITH EACH OTHERS, THEY WANT ROBBI TO BE LIKE THEM, FOR ME AS BABYSITTER, SINCE MY KIDS ARE ALL GROWN, I THINK IS GREAT AND IF THEY LOVE IT I WILL KEEP WATCHING THE SHOW. TOO BAD THEY ARE ALL REPEATS... HOPE THEY CAN DO NEW SHOWS SOON... THANK YOU LAZYTOWN...

LazyTown not bad to watch
As a concerned parent I monitor what my children view on television. The show LazyTown is an interesting show but it unfortunately does not have the "get them active affect" on my four year old son. He is a very active, intelligent boy but when watching LazyTown in the morning I notice that he loses interest then asks when "GO Diego GO" (spin off from Dora the explorer) will be on. I belive that since the show is so fast paced and all of the cuts to the jumping and sport stunts by the show's hero "Sporticus" played by former 1992 Icelandic Aerobic Gymnastic Champion Magnus Sheving maybe to busy for a young mind to take in that would be dependant on your child. However the only other two human characters, "Stephanie" played by Julianna Rose Mauriello and "Robbie Rotten" the shows villian played by Stefan Karl Stefannson are fun to watch. Robbie Rotten is the bumbling comedic villian crying out for attention by trying to spoil the people of LazyTown's fun. Stephanie and the other town folk (all of who are puppets) with the help of Sporticus stop his attempts and along the way learn valueable lessons in things like teamwork, friendship, sharing etc. Music is a big part of the show, Stephanie's great voice and the other characters always seem to make time to stop and entertain us with new and original songs. In short if your looking for an innocent program for your kids that will entertain and teach values then LazyTown might be for your child, but don't be surprised if your child doesn't get up and tries to do backflips like the Main Character. - Always remember that learning life values always start with Mom and Dad.
