Premise

Pixel creates LazyTown TV, a channel devoted to the goings on of LazyTown. The residents of LazyTown decide they will help out by each having a segment on the channel. When Robbie Rotten turns on the TV to see this, he is disgusted and decides he has to do something to stop it. So he gathers up disguises and plans to ruin every ones segment, thus getting rid of LazyTown TV forever.

Plot synopsis

Prologue

Sportacus is running around in his airship, and jumps onto the ball that gives the air to the airship. When he lands back on the ground he calls for the TV. The TV turns on to reveal Pixel, he asks Sportacus if he is ready for his TV show and starts to count down. When he finishes Sportacus jumps on his hands and walks around lifting one arm to show off.

Main episode

At Pixel's house, he is setting up and launching LazyTown TV, announcing the schedule: Stephanie's energy show, cutting to Sportacus, the news with Mayor Meanswell and Bessie Busybody, Ziggy and Stingy's cooking show and finally Trixie's talk show. Down at his lair, Robbie Rotten is getting ready to watch TV, only to be shocked to find out that LazyTown has their own TV channel. He plots to ruin their TV channel by bringing several disguises and a TV watch with him.

Stephanie's energy show has started with the Colors song and near the end of the song, Robbie steals all the SportsCandy on the table, to the disappointment of Stephanie. LazyTown TV then goes to the news show and Robbie dons the Rob R. Robley disguise. The Mayor, while confused at to what to do at first, soon announces the good news that in LazyTown Park, 4 new flowers have started growing and 3 butterflies have been seen. Rob R. Robley then busts in and announces the bad news that SportsCandy "makes you sick" and that "all sports have been outlawed". Stephanie then moves the camera to the weather, in which Bessie says it's a bright and sunny day. Rob then interrupts it and says it's rainy and stormy.

Shocked, Pixel tells Stephanie to go straight to the talk show. Trixie is surprised to find out that she has no guests, until Robbie comes in disguised as The Purple Legend. After he gives out several boring conversations, The Purple Legend then dances until he breaks the camera. Pixel then goes to the cooking show where Ziggy and Stingy are building an apple castle. Robbie then disguises as Chef Robert, in which he interrupts the cooking show and makes "The Sugar Candy Chocolate Ice Cream Gooey-Ooie-Yummy Cake", an unhealthy food with plenty of sugary snacks in it. Ziggy then questions Robert's food, to which he tells him to go away because "he isn't a chef". Before putting it in the refrigerator, he slips on an apple and ruins the recipe.

With the camera fixed, Pixel demands something else on TV after all their shows have been finished. Bessie comes up with a puppet show. Robbie finally disguises as a gorilla, with everyone bored by the show. He then climbs up the antenna, distorting the signal. Pixel discovers the gorilla trying to damage the antenna and getting stuck. Sportacus comes in and tries to save it with the Mayor delivering a news flash about it. The gorilla then falls and Sportacus latches a hook opening the roof of Pixel's house. Once he lands, Pixel discovers the gorilla is really Robbie Rotten. Robbie then turns on the TV to discover the Mayor announcing who the gorilla really is. There is one more show, where they do the Bing Bang song.

Epilogue

Back down in his lair, Robbie walks over to his chair and throws away the gorilla suit and sits down. "No more gorilla suit and no more small TV!" he says as he takes off the TV watch. He calls down the TV from the roof and turns it on. A news flash plays of Sportacus saving the evil villain Robbie Rotten from earlier in the episode. He screams and quickly changes the channel, only to see another news cast of the same thing. He repeatedly changes the channel but they all have the same thing so he turns the TV off and lets out a big scream.

Trivia

  • Whilst disguised as The Purple Legend, Robbie jumps up and down on the talk shows' furniture in the same way that Tom Cruise once did when he was a guest on Oprah Winfrey's show.
