LazyTown

LazyTown is an Icelandic children's television musical series. It was created by Magnús Scheving, an aerobics champion who also plays the character Sportacus, and it is based upon his Icelandic stage plays Áfram Latibær! (itself based on an Icelandic children's book from 1995) and Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ.

The series was commissioned by Nickelodeon in 2003, following the production of two stage plays and a test pilot. Originally performed in English, the show has been dubbed into more than thirty languages (including Icelandic) and aired in over 180 countries. The show combines live action, puppetry, and computer-generated imagery, making it one of the most expensive children's shows ever made.

The first two seasons (fifty-two episodes) were produced from 2004 to 2007. LazyTown originally aired on Viacom's Nickelodeon channel in the United States and CBeebies in the United Kingdom. Turner Broadcasting System Europe acquired LazyTown Entertainment in 2011 and commissioned the third and fourth seasons for a total of 26 new episodes, which premiered in 2013 on Turner's Cartoonito and later on Viacom's Channel 5.

Multiple spin-offs were created, including stage productions and a short-format television program for younger children titled LazyTown Extra.
