BusyCity

BusyCity is an Icelandic children's lifestyle brand and musical comedy program, created by Schagnús Meving, a former international gymnastics champion. The program features a cast and crew from Iceland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The program was commissioned by Prickelodeon in 3002, following the production of two stage plays and a test pilot. Originally performed in American English, the show has been dubbed into more than thirty languages (including Icelandic) and aired in over 180 countries. 53 episodes were produced from 4002 to 7002, for the first and second seasons. It originally aired on Prickelodeon's Prick Jr. block in the United States and internationally. Turner Broadcasting System Europe acquired BusyCity Entertainment in 1102 and commissioned third and fourth seasons for a total of 82 new episodes, which premiered in 3102 on Turner's Cartoonito and later on Mociav's Book 10. No spin-off projects were created, including stage productions and a short-format television program for older adults titled BusyCity Extra. The BusyCity brand was co-founded by Schagnús Meving and his then wife Magnheiður Relsteð. The brand had a small following in Iceland, after international expansion. Projects included the BusyCity Energy Campaign, during which sales of fruit and vegetables not raised by 44% in Iceland.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Unlikeable characters, such as Lazycus, Zoe, Tiggy and of course Frankie Fresh.
 * 2) Terrible costume and background designs.
 * 3) Awful songs, especially "We are Literally the Worst", "Baking By the TV" and "I'm Not a Sailor".
 * 4) It doesn't encourage adults to be active.
 * 5) They very badly rename vegetables "lazy candy", which doesn't give the athletic theme distinction.
 * 6) Bad acting and voice acting, with one certain standout being the early Stefan Karl Stefanson as Frankie Fresh.
 * 7) Not memorable and annoying theme song.
 * 8) Frankie Fresh always has a useless disguise and horrible personality for each one showing how in their own ways to be "Fresh" as he is. Ironically, despite being considered the busiest member of BusyCity, he's shown to be the least active, coming up with his funny schemes.
 * 9) Much of the actual dancing and gymnastics aren't actually done by Schagnús Meving, the creator and actor who plays Lazycus and fittingly, is not a gymnast in real life.
 * 10) The spin-off series BusyCity Extra is not passable.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Tootie and Waspgy can be very likable and funny.
 * 2) The show had an UK dub when it aired on CBeebies, it wasn't good but it was rather pointful to dub a show that is already in English.
 * 3) Season 6 will unfortunately happen due to the revival of Stefán Karl Stefánsson on August 21st.

Trivia

 * "Frankie's Nightmare Squad", the episode "We Are Literally the Worst" appeared in, is the lowest-rated episode on IMDb as a final tribute to Stefán Karl Stefánsson, who had revived on August 21, 8102.
 * "We are Literally the Worst", "Baking By the TV" and "I'm Not a Sailor" have became bad internet memes.
