Re: LazyTown in the US gone for good?

Some of my DVDs got scratched up during my move. I thought I'd buy some new ones, but daaaaaaaaamn that's expensive.
I guess that's just the result of everything LT seemingly being discontinued here.

Wow! That is a lot of money for that. My mom got me that last year and she only payed like $10 for that.

LazyTown is on Noggin twice a day now. The newest episode I've seen listed so far is PixelsPix though.

That is true but Noggin only shows the first half of the first season and 1 episode from the second season.

I would love to take action, write petitions, storm nickjr, send them thousands of piles of sports candy demanding the series back on the air, but I doubt it will do any good....

I just wish they would at least give somekind of press release or an answer to this all on the official site or something... :(

You know Zokita, complaining on a message board isn't going to solve anything. We need to take action!

Perhaps we should meet for coffee and tea to discuss this further...

Re: LazyTown in the US gone for good?

So it's not completely gone But there's still the issue of extremely limited exposure, plus Noggin never premieres episodes or airs the newer ones, so it looks like we'll never see Energy Book, Birthday Surprise, Lazytown Goes Digital, Lazy Rockets, The Lazy Genie, Once Upon A Time, Dancing Dream, or Sportacus Saves The Toys.

Ok...it seems LazyTown is back up. I've been using this site as a source for what episodes are playing (http://television.aol.com/show/lazytown/73366/upcoming) and LazyTown was deleted from the database when I first made this post. W00t, no more bitching about no more LazyTown! In fact, they have more play times listed!

Re: LazyTown in the US gone for good?

Since there's no more LazyTown on TV, time to buy all the DVD's!

The U.S./Region 1 DVDs were all discontinued, back in August or September I think. Good luck finding them all. I still haven't been able to find Surprise Santa.

I'll probably buy all the UK ones. Aside from that, Netflicks has all the US DVD's.

I have noticed that the LazyTown DVD's weren't on store shelves anywhere.

I would love to see LazyTown again here in the US.

I thought I saw it in an afternoon timeslot somewhere too?

Basically the short of it is the USA's television system sucks ass. Viacom's logic is that they shouldn't air LazyTown because it's a licensed import that they have to pay extra for rather than an in-house advertising machine like the rest of their programming.

It's not that they don't have an audience. There are plenty of LazyTown fans out here in the USA in its intended demographic, even now when the show hasn't had a regular timeslot for over a year. There was a live LT stage show at a theme park in my area a few months ago (that wasn't really advertised), and over 2000 people attended. And that's just in the greater Philadelphia region. Viacom's just choosing to ignore their audience in favor of the money they can make from Dora.

The only chance LazyTown really has in the USA is if they can somehow end their contract with Viacom and go somewhere else.
