Once Upon a Time (complete)

Re: Once Upon a Time (complete)

Finished watching it. I must say it was a little too theme-oriented that didn't connect with the usual sports candy. But I thought they did a good job on balancing it with a nice storybook adventure. Of course it has been done a million times, but I liked the cartoon characterizations of the characters. I think the episode also showed the possibility of a 4th season is near zero, if there will even be a 3rd season. They seem to be running out of entertaining ideas that made Lazytown all about keeping active and having fun with friends. I don't blame them though, it's hard to be consistent while not being repetitive.

You're welcome, people.

I think maybe the reason we're suddenly having normal educational stuff in our health education is somebody, somewhere, criticised LT for only educating about exercise and healthy eating, and Magnus took it a little too much to heart (or perhaps was obliged to to retain one of its markets). Most kids' educational programs these days try to cover everything, which can get pretty anvilicous, and I actually thought LT's one trick pony meant that the lesson was less likely to obscure the story. (And it gave balance: most shows focus on something academic with the occasional health lesson. The only other kids' show I know of based on exercise and diet is 'Active Kidz' on the Aussie ABC, and it's a boring, didactic POS.)


Also: the sports hero who can't stand still for 5 seconds is suddenly sitting around reading all day? His sports equipment has been replaced with an enormous library of hardcover classics? WTF?

Why can't you record the episodes when they air, kelly?

Re: Once Upon a Time (complete)

I enjoyed most of the episode -- Though, it seems like the "morals" of each of the new episodes are making me cringe. I'd rather them keep the "reading is gud lol" message less significant than keeping healthy message. I can understand how that would be hard to carry on for each episode though, considering how many they've done already.

The song actually had some really good moments, I particularly liked it.

The one thing I absolutely hated? Those damn moments when they put people in the puppet costumes and have them run around. It looks terrible! Like, the audience already knows they're puppets -- There's really no need to make them seem more "real".

Aaaanyways, much thanks for this episode. I can't wait for Lazy Rockets -- The "Grease Lightning"-style song sounds like it'll be awesome.

Because I don't have any form of pay TV (you know, cable, satellite, that sort of thing), and LT doesn't air on any of the 5 free-to-air stations at all.

Aww really? I loved those moments. It's such a brain ****, especially for little kids. I think its great every time. When they first did it with Mayor in Rockin Robbie, I fell outta my seat. =P

Re: Once Upon a Time (complete)

I thought this was funny. Looks more like thanks to steroids than sports candy lol.

Re: Once Upon a Time (complete)

Thanks Kelly so much. Do you think that you can upload this in quicktime next. If you can't that is ok. I still thank you for the episode.

What if I give you a tutorial on how to steal cable?

Would you do it then?

I don't think any of my neighbours have cable either (and even if they did, I live in a semi-rural area, the houses are not exactly on top of one another). Satellite is the more usual form of pay TV here, and even then it's rather less common than I get the impression it is in the States.
