WELCOME TO LAZYTOWN!
Welcome to LazyTown
Stephanie arrives for the summer, staying with her Uncle Milford. She meets the kids of LazyTown and hears about their very own superhero, Sportacus. Meanwhile, Robbie Rotten attempts to put Sportacus out of commission in various ways, the last of which is a big hole which Bessie falls into by mistake! It’s up to Stephanie to rally her new friends, and it’s up to Sportacus to save the day.
Sports Day
LazyTown Sports Day is here with the amazing super-race, which involves running, biking, skating, and skateboarding around the town. Robbie has challenged Sportacus and the kids to the competition, but cheats by slipping our hero a candy apple, which causes a complete Sugar Meltdown! Sportacus is out of the race. Can the kids compete against Robbie alone? Will they revive Sportacus in time?
Rottenbeard
The kids are playing pirate when a "real" pirate sails into town: Rottenbeard (really Robbie Rotten in disguise). He takes the kids on a fake treasure hunt, finding his faked version of the missing piece of the LazyTown Stone. Now everyone must "be lazy", until the kids find the real missing piece, and Sportacus must re-enact the final confrontation between the original Rottenbeard and the mysterious hero who once saved all of LazyTown.
Defeeted
On Spectacular Sports Day, Robbie tricks Sportacus into putting on a pair of radio-controlled boots, ruining our hero's spectacular soccer kick and making it all but impossible for him to function as a superhero. Enter Robbie as Lazycus to become the new town hero. Can Sportacus defeat his own feet? "There's always a way!"
Dr. Rottenstein
The kids are growing vegetable gardens, and Robbie disguises himself as the "quack" Dr. Rottenstein, sprinkling the vegetables and the kids with "spots" and declaring the town under quarantine from Spotty Vegetitus! Worse, anything healthy is banned most especially, Sportacus. It is up to Ziggy to eat his vegetables and help Sportacus save the day!

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO!
Hero for a Day
Ziggy wants to be a hero just like Sportacus, but he keeps messing things up, especially a clubhouse the other kids are trying to make. When Robbie devises a plan to saw an overhanging tree branch to smash the clubhouse, Ziggy steps in and finally manages to become a hero and save the day.
Sleepless in LazyTown
Pixel is staying up too late at night playing video games, and Sportacus encourages him to get to sleep on time, explaining that sleep is the source of his own energy. Robbie overhears this and hatches a plan to deprive Sportacus of sleep by creating a "noisy ball" that keeps him awake all night. When Sportacus starts losing energy, Stephanie and the kids uncover Robbie's plot and they make sure to get lots of sleep so they can beat Robbie in a all-or-nothing baseball game.
Cry Dinosaur
Stephanie, Stingy and Ziggy are having their first campout, but Ziggy is a little scared… in fact, more than a little. He's afraid there are "dinosaurs" lurking in the darkness. When Robbie Rotten shows up in a dinosaur disguise, things really go crazy, and Ziggy must overcome his fear to rescue his friends and help Sportacus save the day.
LazyTown's New Super Hero (double feature)
Stephanie and the LazyTown kids decide to repay Sportacus for all of his heroics by giving him a day off - with Stephanie taking over as hero. Robbie Rotten takes advantage by creating a vicious robotic dog who attacks everyone. But the tables turn when the dog targets Robbie - and Sportacus and "Sportastephanie" arrive to save the day!

NO ONE'S LAZY IN LAZYTOWN!
The Laziest Town
LazyTown will be named Laziest Town in the world unless they can generate enough activity to raise the Energy Meter by the end of the day. Everyone pitches in by doing normal activities, except for Bessie, who doesn't know how to play sports. Stephanie helps Bessie to be active by giving her activities she's good at – like running to answer phones all over town. At the last minute, LazyTown manages to avoid being named Laziest Town!
Lazy Scouts
Robbie dresses up as a scoutmaster to teach the kids how to be the laziest Lazy Scouts of all time. Stephanie feels left out because no one will listen to her objections to this form of camping. In the end, a giant windstorm hits LazyTown and it is up to Stephanie and Sportacus to save the most unprepared scouts in history.
Sportafake
Robbie disguises himself as Sportacus to make the kids do lazy, unhealthy things. Stephanie suspects something is wrong, but won't stand up and be heard. Now there are two Sportacus' in LazyTown, and nobody knows which one is the real one! A race is called to determine the real Sportacus. When someone cries out for help, the real Sportacus goes to help, giving Robbie the win. But Stephanie finally stands up for herself and says the real Sportacus lost the race so he could help someone.
Soccer Sucker
Robbie climbs inside a soccer-playing robot and challenges Sportacus to a match – and if Sportacus loses, he'll have to leave town forever. But the robot goes haywire, so Sportacus and the kids have to play it until it runs out of energy. Pixel, who almost never comes outside to play games, becomes the game's hero when he puts his video game-playing skills to use in a real soccer game.
Records Day
The LazyTown kids plan to set an active world's record, which jeopardizes Robbie's plan to set a record for World's Laziest Town. He tries to stop their record-setting but becomes a victim of his own scheme.

Dancing Duel
There's a dance competition underway in LazyTown but Robbie believes that if Stephanie wins, LazyTown will become too active. So he creates a robot dancing girl to compete against Stephanie.
