Camp Lazlo

I was an enthusiastic Scout, and later Scouter and Eagle Scout Dad, and as cheesy as you might find "Camp Lazlo", I found it to be a cute, nostalgic trip down memory lane and my days in Scouting. I identified with everyone and everything from Scoutmaster Lumpus to the kids with flies buzzing around them constantly, from bad food to activities that didn't work out quite the way they were supposed to. Most importantly, though, is that the boys/bean scouts learned to get along with each other, even if it was at the expense of Scoutmaster Lumpus. EVERY Scout or Scouter I've known knew a Scoutmaster Lumpus. This show makes me smile warmly, and I highly recommend it to adults and children alike.

Camp Lazlo is the best new combo kid/adult cartoon since the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It's not surprising, given that it includes the talents of Tom Kenny, Joe Murray, and some of the other creative geniuses behind the revolution in comedic cartoons we've witnessed over the last decade. It's a worthy successor to some of the recent generation of outstanding Nick cartoons like Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob.

The voices are superb and the writing is sharp. For better or worse, cartoons seem to be nearly the only medium in which you can use accents - acceptable because they are married to two-dimensional animals rather than human beings - without overt accusations of political incorrectness. In Camp Lazlo, the vocal work provides texture against the dialog, giving it an aural depth that, odd as it may seem, children's television has maintained while adult fare has lost. And no, it is not offensive at all.

I highly recommend everyone check this new show out, because it is deserving of your time.

It seems that cartoons aren't treating kids like idiots anymore.

It was by chance one Saturday afternoon while channel surfing that I came across Camp Lazlo and the first thing that struck me was the resemblance of the animation to Rocko's Modern Life - and why not? It's made by the same person who created that show.

Young kids would be taken in by the speed at which things happen in each episode - there is no time to stop and think about what is going on nor is there any need to. Pure entertainment with no lesson to be learned at the end of the show.

It's all typical little boy behavior and insanity at Camp Kidney on the shores of Leaky Lake, with the only creature approaching any form of sanity being a slug named Slinkman - at least I think he's slug. He does have legs after all.

Where there's trouble, Lazlo the Brazillian Spider Monkey will be found smack bang in the middle of it with his two best friends, Raj the Indian Elephant and Clam the Pygmy Albino Rhino doing their best to keep up with him, leaving the rest of the gang of Bean Scouts to just go in whatever direction Lazlo and company pull them.

Watching over it all with a deep desire to escape is Scoutmaster Lupus (or Lumpus as everyone else calls him). This is one Scoutmaster you wouldn't want looking after your kids for any length of time.

Highly recommended for anyone who feels like an escape from the rat race and a few good laughs.

Camp Lazlo® is one of my favorite shows. I may be too old for it, but who cares? It's just so I don't know, good I guess. I like that Lazlo is a monkey that is almost the best bean scout, how Slinkman is so quiet and good,and how Raj is from India. It's just a good kid show too. It is just a show for kids about a monkey at camp named Lazlo who has 2 friends named Clam and Raj who run around being good bean scouts! I guess maybe it's not just a kid show in a way. It just makes anyone watch it, from 1 to 100. It's for anyone. At least to me and my sister, who are loyal fans! It brings you in even if you think it's not funny. To me it shows camp, not the best camp but Lazlo makes the best of it! Thats why I give Camp Lazlo a 10 out of 10!

This is one of the best animated shows on TV. Maybe one of the best in the last five years, right up there with SpongeBob. Now I'm not the type of person who likes trying new shows. My philosophy is "im not gonna waste my time on this, there is something better on TV". but one day I gave it a shot and did not regret it. It was great!! I love the comedy in it. The creators of this must be comical geniuses. I'm an older "kid" i guess, and i usually don't watch Cartoon Network and Nick but I made an exception.

There are so many good things about this show. It is funny, it is entertaining, it is just good!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of the people that made Camp Lazlo made and are still making SpongBob Square Pants. They did a great job with SpongeBob and they are doing a great job with Camp Lazlo. Joe Murray did it with Rocko's Modern Life and now he is doing it with Camp Lazlo. I cant say enough.
