Camp Lazlo

Camp Lazlo is the name of a children's show on Cartoon Network. In the show, Camp Kidney is the name of the camp that protagonist Lazlo attends. Camp Lazlo was created by Joe Murray.

Description
Each episode is split into two parts approximately 11 minutes long, with the exception of two episodes. The show breaks the fourth wall, such as when Lazlo is gives an award to a camper for being the best "incidental character", and sometimes lacks continuity, as in an episode which ends with Lumpus being eaten by a lake monster.

Camp Lazlo premiered on July 8, 2005 in the USA; new episodes currently air on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM US ET/PT. In Canada, Teletoon's English channel also debuted the show June 26, 2006; but in the last week of August 2006, it was pulled from TELETOON, and returned on June 22, 2007. Due to its nature, TELETOON only airs it during the summer season. Note that despite the show being in it's fourth season, TELETOON is still airing only the first season.

In Australia and India Camp Lazlo is shown on the Cartoon Network.
