LazyTown

Do not like it at all. In Brazil it is a success, fortunately not as much as Backyardigans, for example, but it plays a lot on Discovery Kids Brazil. I am negatively surprised with the Common Sense review. Since the first times we (my husband and I) watched Lazy Town - and we did not have a kid at those times - we were annoyed by the over coloured characteres and scenario and we have noticed the exausting pace you have mentioned. Then when our baby was a little over 1 year old we let him, sometimes, watch the series but then we started to worry and see it as very inappropriate because of those adult characters (Sportacus and Robbie Rotten) wearing collant costumes which barely hide their genitals format, mixed with that child-girl character, who seems to have a love attitude towards Sportacus. We have been simply skiping this series for almost one year. The baby complains because he already knows the series and also during the intervals Discovery Kids markets the series and plays their music, so he wants to watch to it.

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.

let kids wach lazy town they need it give lazytown a nother chance PLESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
