It appears to be some kind of internal plan for merchandising and stuff. Its bit old though.

:edit: on second thought, it looks more like some kind of press release

It said LT first aired in Aus in December, then later said it first aired in Winter. Right. Let me explain the concept behind seasons.

*going for her all-online-life's one day facepalm record, apparently*

The second season of LazyTown premiered May 15 2006 in the United States to unbelievable
ratings. The second season of LazyTown earned a 7.72 rating with the premiere, right behind
Go Diego Go with an 8.02 rating. LazyTown ranked the third highest in the Nick Jr. block and
produced double-digit ratings gains compared to LazyTown episodes that had aired the previous four weeks. The ratings amongst children aged 2-5 rose +19% and ratings amongst
women aged 18-49 increased +20%.

lol @ the 18-49 women ratings...and if its so highly rated. WHY STOP AIRING IT!!1???// *SPAZZ*

Its like its just kinda fell off the screen, I believe if Nick kept playing it that it would have retained its popularity.

Maybe Steph having breasts (and without binding - shock! horror!) in S2 freaked some morality police-type in management out.


I'd almost hate to see how they'd react to Glanni!Solla's decent endowments.

God forbid children see an enlarged upper chest. I don't think that has anything to do with it. I find it far more likely that they want to push thier own stuff (dora etc).

I thought that they originally made the show for Nick Jr. specifically? In any case, the pressure from junk food companies would be a lot worse than the pressure to show their own shows.

Nah, it's all about the moichandice.

Money from LazyTown toy sales goes to Magnus.
Money from Dora toy sales goes straight to them.

Therefore, they would be more dedicated to showing 25-minute ads for their own product than LazyTown.

Well obviously Nickjr gets some of the profit. Not much since they don't have hardly any merchandise available in the U.S. but stuff that has sold.

Well if you look at the pdf, it looks like they have an exclusive deal with k-mart of all places

Yeah. You can get stuff like the soundtrack and DVDs at other stores too, but my sister used to work at K-Mart so I saw plenty of LT stuff there. I saw action figures, a jump rope, the costume sets, pom poms, Sportacus and Stephanie plushies, an activity mat, and the DVDs.

I picked up the Surprise Santa and Records Day DVDs when I saw them, but I haven't found the other ones since.

What the hell? Skates?

How much are they and what sizes are available?

[Zokita]

Why would we get any new merchandise if they aren't even AIRING the show here? Since Viacom doesn't care to build an audience, they wouldn't release merchandise to get money from their non-existent customers, and it's all their own fault.

I'm going to be doing a lot of importing from the UK, it seems.
