Goofs

Sportacus' reactions to the sugar meltdown, which he gets causally during the show, e.g. when eating a sugar apple, is different from episode to episode. In some episodes he can't move and the other characters have to help him getting the Sportscandy (aka fruit) into his mouth but in other cases he is able to move his arm to grab it himself.

User Reviews

Lazytown is hard to watch at first, but becomes a favorite

When I first spotted Lazytown on Nick, Jr. I could not stand it. The colors are vibrant, the pace fast, the plots silly. However, my sons, ages 2 and 4, were captivated. I gave it another chance for their sakes...and I am very glad I did. The superhero, Sportacus, eats healthy and exercises. The bad guy is Robbie Rotten, who is lazy and eats too much junk food. Although it is about as subtle as a freight train, it is surprising entertaining. My older son will actually say he doesn't want more candy because Sportacus says it's bad for him. Can't beat that for a 23 minute show! Personally, I love the focus on health in this show, but the music is a little too Euro dance club for me. It would be difficult for me to name other new shows that are getting as much attention from the preschool crowd as Lazytown and The Backyardigans.
