Saturday Mornings on NBC

Get ready for playful adventures with Chica as the doors of "The Costume Coop" open for business! Every preschooler loves to dress up, and now they can join Chica, everyone's favorite chicken, for play dates that will take them under the sea, rocketing into space and time traveling back to caveman days. Set in a colorful, quirky shop stuffed to the beams with every kind of costume, accessory and prop imaginable, "The Chica Show" is a Sprout Original preschool sitcom that features animation, live-action and a whole lot of surprises.

"Justin Time" is a new animated program for preschoolers that brings motion picture-sized imagination and creativity to the small screen. Produced by Toronto's Guru Studios, the show centers on Justin, a young boy who imagines himself traveling around the world at different points in world history. "Justin Time" focuses on imagination, history and travel and introduces audiences to Justin, his imaginary friend Squidy and his time traveling pal Olive. Imagination and transformation take center stage in each episode - when Justin gets excited about a new adventure, his bedroom transforms into the destination of the far reaches of his imagination. Adventuring to the ends of the earth throughout human history, Justin and his two pals Olive and Squidgy engage bite-sized historical events while learning the necessities of social interaction and cognition.

Designed to encourage healthy eating and exercise, "LazyTown" is a mix of live and animated characters that come to life in an energetic and colorful world, motivating kids through play to be active and make positive life choices. LazyTown is the fictional home of Sportacus, Stephanie, Trixie, Pixel, Ziggy, Stingy and Robbie Rotten. The four puppet characters - Ziggy, Pixel, Stingy and Trixie - represent some of the challenges all kids face in daily life: making healthy choices, sharing, making friends, and more. Sportacus is the larger-than-life action hero, who is the flipside of Robbie Rotten, representing positive and negative approaches to life. Stephanie is visiting LazyTown and her enthusiasm about making healthy choices helps pull it all together. LazyTown takes the important lessons of eating right and exercising and makes them simple and fun for both parents and preschoolers. At Sprout, our programming has always been about inspiring parent-child interaction through unique, learning-based entertainment, so LazyTown was the perfect addition to the network's gold-standard line-up and also for NBC Kids, which was designed to address the development needs of 2-5 year-olds through educational series that promote active, healthy lifestyles for younger children.
