Haven't come across them in the UK, but there are a few from americans on ebay. Santy Claus has just bought my boy a proper Sportacus costume (much better than the half-hearted effort they do at Argos) and a Sportacus backpack from ebay (Ty's Toybox to be precise). Only took about a week to get here, but watch out for customs charges

It's a bit scary. I've grown up being into Guns n Roses, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, more recently Green Day, Linkin Park etc.

I've now got a LazyTown CD of more than 30 songs in the car, which just plays on repeat.

I think I need help.

BTW you can hear all the season 1 songs on Nick Jr Radio

And you can download them directly! This link is a zip file containing the URLs of (almost) all of the Nick Jr Radio mp3s. There are a few LazyTown ones missing from the list, but the filenames are easy to guess!

Why on earth can't you buy the toys over here?

I want a Stephanie wig !

Hey, you can get the Stephanie wig at Argos! And the dance mat - I bought one No idea what it's like though - the missus insists it has to stay in the box until xmas

Do they do an adult Stephanie wig?

I think the BBC are using a 4:3 print for some episodes.

There was an article about the show in the Daily Mirror last week and a little interview with the guy who plays Sportacus. The Mirror was connected the show with it's anti-obesity campaign

My three all watch. It is quite a shiny happy programme. Doesn't fail to lift you up.

I'd be really surprised if this was the case. By the time you've chopped the left and right off to make it 4:3 and then you chop the top and bottom off that, there'd be hardly anything left!

A lot of LazyTown is close up full head shots. This isn't a problem with panning-and-scanning to 4:3 cos the whole head still fits in the frame. But once you crop it top and bottom, Robbie Rotten won't have a chin or eyebrows!!! It just wouldn't work.

Is there a second series?

Yeah, CBeebies have already shown some of them (Haunted Castle, Rockin Robbie, Little Sportacus). Nick Jr are apparently going to start showing the new series from October

lazytown is excellent. Besides the fact that sportacus is dishy, it has turned my 2 kids into dancing excercising freaks who are always trying to do pushups and cartwheels etc. Not to mention the amount of 'sportscandy' ( water , bananas etc) they are eating because of this programme. It's made a huge change in my house which I am really grateful for.
We have all the songs downloaded from series 1 and their never turned off.
Even my husband goes around singing ' this mailbox is mine' all day long..

I've just been handed an urgent message from our "I just can't believe someone actually registered that domain!" department.

It's not a very good quality version of the song, but I love the fact that someone's gone to the trouble of registering the domain!

I wonder if it would be worth my while registering www.someonesintrouble.com or www.ziggyssweetsaremine.com

LOVE IT!

One of my favourite songs

*wonders if I can buy the CD pretending its really for my 2 year old*

Glad to see its not just me who thinks he's dishy, I was starting to get rather worried

Does anyone know when is new season of LazyTown starting on NickJr? Next week BBC is repeating three new episodes they already shown but according to Digiguide there is nothing new on NickJr until the end of October contrary to some reports suggesting season 2 should start sometime about now.

No new ones on Cbeebies until next year. Meant to start on NickJr in October. All lzytown toys now available from www.nickjrshop.co.uk with november delivery.

I'll pretend I never read that.

*rushes to see*

ok im 29 and i love it!!!! use my kids as an excuse to watch it! but it just reminds me of Rotten Trolls with the puppets and i loved that too!!!

Mine is a brill song so is a pirate!

The cake song is the best!

For me Galaxy song is the best !

I even have Mine as a ringtone

I can't believe my first post is going to be about 'LazyTown'...
Anyway, my kids are big fans, so I often end up seeing it. What really made me laugh though was the episode when Robbie Rotten dresses up as Sportacus, leading to a confrontation between them with the immortal words:
RR : "I am Sportacus!"
S : "No, I am Sportacus!"
A Monty Python moment. Well they had to do it sooner or later!

I can't get those songs out of my head!!!

I only get to watch with the kids on Noggin (Make that Nick Jr now, only noticed it had changed this morning). So I am well and truly fed up of seeing the same episode for the 5th time! The only one I've seen onc is something about a singing contest in a theatre.

Anyway both kids are into their shportz candee (You have to say it with an Iclandic accent), and my 5 year old boy surprised me by doing press ups the other day then raising one leg in the air and doing them!!!

lol I remember that. Didn't Robbie tell the kids to stuff themselves with sweets and chocolates?
