Noggin has purchased 13 episodes of The Upside Down Show. The new live-action show was developed by The Sesame Workshop and features the Austrailian comedy duo The Umbilical Brothers.
Each episode begins as the brothers hand an imaginary remote control to the viewers at home so they can “control” the duo’s physical motion by fast forwarding, rewinding or pausing their movement. Breaking “the fourth wall” of the television set, the brothers encourage their audience to participate in their antics and accompany them on their excursions. Every week, the duo embarks on a journey to explore new worlds as well as everyday destinations like the laundromat, the airport or the movies. But Shane and David need help from their friends and viewers at home. Along the way, they take detours through magical doors in their apartment which allow them to discover exciting new places. Viewers never know what might materialize behind one of the doors. They may land in the Very Hairy Room, the Wind Room or even in the Puppy Room!
The show is scheduled to air in fall 2006.

Hey I was just wondering when The Upside Down Show, will come out on DVD.. My two year old loves the show.. My six year old also enjoys it.. I don’t mind them sitting down and watching it either.. It teaches them lots of different things.. Good going Noggin.. Yet again you have come up with a great educational show..
Thanks

I love this show, its awesome and David and Shane are pretty funny. My son plays along, and i actually get caught up watching too. Even my 8 month old daughter sits still for a while to watch it. I hope that these two zaney guys stay around for a while, its a refreshing change to some of the other kids shows that ive seen lately!!
Hi, I was also wondering when “The Upside Down” show was coming to DVD/Video? I am a 1st grade teacher with a 9, 4, and 2 year old and we all love it! I like how bigger vocabulary words(horizontal and vertical for example) are concretely demonstrated. And all of the shows are funny. Learning should be fun and thanks to Noggin for recognizing this combo of talent.
Just wanted to say… WAY TO GO!
It’s wonderful how my 4 year old has the ability to understand the difference between “minute” and ‘humongous”!
Noggin is the BEST!
Way to go Shane and David!
SCORE!
Much GRATITUDE!

Way to go Noggin. Shane and David are awesome. My 2 year old does not take her eyes off of the tv as soon as she sees their fingers running across the screen! When is the dvd coming out??
Whats a girl gotta do to get “The Upside Down Show” on DVD?!?!?!?!?!
My son LOVES this show! Thank you Noggin for bringing this out. I watch it with him and I think it’s hilarious!! These guys really crack me up. I love how Shane is with the schmuzzies (I’m not sure if I’m spelling this right). There’s nothing about this show I don’t like. They mix learning with humor and it works well. Thanks again Noggin and keep coming out with more shows fellas!! We love it!
The upside down show is a KEEPER! My 3 1/2 yr. old son ADORES this show! He’d watch it every waking moment if I’d let him! He loves Shane & David & re-inacts the show by himself throughout the day! Thank you for airing a show that is eduactional & fun! We look forward to the show being released on DVD hopefully VERY soon!
Great job on this one!!
ALL I HEAR ALL DAY IS “WHEN IS THE UPSIDE DOWN SHOW GOING TO BE ON”? THEN WHEN IT IS DONE, ALL I HEAR IS “WHERE DID IT GO”? I HAVE A 35 MONTH OLD-AND SHE LOVES THE SHOW. USUALLY YOU CAN FIND EVERYTHING ON EBAY, I LOOKED-ITS NOT THERE. MOTHERS EVERYWHERE ARE BEGGING YOU TO RELEASE THE DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
We LOVE Shane & David!!! My 4 year old daughter is hooked! She acts out all kinds of funny parts & literally cracks up is histerics at these crazy guys!!!
We have it set on our DVR & watch it all the time! DVDs would be nice so we can share it with friends that aren’t home during the day.
Thanks to Shane & David for your brilliance!!!
We’re pushing play all the way from Oklahoma…
my 2 year old loves the upside down show. he acts like he has the remote all day long. he pauses everyone, and does everything he can imagine with the remote. ive never heard him laugh more at another show. hes so funny, he wraps him self in my hair and says ” the very hairy room”.
The first time the upside down show was aired, I thought, “Oh man…another stupid show?” And all of a sudden my 3-year-old was cracking up. He laughed hysterically throughout the whole show and now we’re both addicted!! Like many others, I am dying for their DVD to come out. I was hoping to give one to my son for Christmas. Is this coming anytime soon? Anyway…good job noggin!! We love Shane and David!!
Where and when can I find smudgies?
My 4 yr. old is obsessed with the Upside Down Show!
I find it pretty entertaining too.
My son is constantly pretending to be Shane and David. He wants an Upside Down Show themed birthday party. I can’t wait until I can buy DVDs.
Hey Crystal - it’s schmuzzies (only cuz i know all episodes by heart by now). I enjoy the show as much as my 2-1/2 year old does…It really sparks his imagination and he loves playing pretend with me. As all of you I can’t wait for the DVD to come out..or any other merchandise…I am hoping that we won’t have to wait another year for another 13 episodes like with Jack’s Big Music Show.
Hey all…if you like Shane and David, you should visit their website http://www.umbilicalbrothers.com. Granted most of their stuff is geared towards adults (and believe me, if you enjoy the Upside Down show you will LOVE their act) Anyway, it’s a great place to find out what’s coming up for them, and I’m sure if a DVD of the Upside Down show comes out, that’ll be a place to find it, or at least find out about it.
My 2yr old and I also love this show and are interested in buying a DVD. Any info yet on it’s release?
The Upside Down Show is the best kids show I have seen in a long time. My two year old gets soooo excited everytime he gets to watch it. My 4 year old nephew and my 6 year old niece love it. And so do I! It is not very often you can find one show that interests so many age groups. Way to go! Please keep it up and hopefully a DVD will be released soon!!
My two year old nephew is obsessed with this show! He cannot get enough of it. Has there been any update on whether DVD’s will be made? Or if the show will be continuing with new episodes? My nephew would be crushed if the show ever ended!! I think he might be Shane & David’s #1 fan!!
Oh my gosh. I’m going crazy just waiting for the Upside Down Show to come out on DVD. Hmmm…. that sounds a bit crazy….. but my 13 month old loves it. When it comes on he points at the screen, sits down on his little couch and watches Shane and David act a fool. Why are these guys so intriguing? Who knows. But I want an Upside Down show bookbag for my son. I’d.. I mean, he’d love that, I’m sure.
PLEASE let me know when it’s available on DVD as I’ll buy them all! My 3 1/2 year old Son also goes MENTAL for this show. He runs around doing finger puppets everywhere. I also thought “oh no, another stupid kid’s show” but he actually learns stuff from this show. For now, I cheat and just set the VCR timer for the show but I’d gladly buy the DVD/VHS should they come available. Please let me know (tarap89@hotmail.com) if you know where we can buy them. I also heard they may not make anymore shows…PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO…my next child will appreciate it too!
I’m going to have to join the band of mothers begging for an Upside Down Show DVD to be released! It is the ONLY show that my almost 2 year old desires to see and he asks about it all day long. Even my husband and I are addicted!
My 2 year old son loves the show! He loves to play along. I think it is great too. It is the only kids show that I actally sit down and watch. It the best thing since Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
News! Shane and David are definately up for a 2nd season..it’s now up to the big wigs at Nickelodeon and Noggin to make the intelligent decision and bring back this wonderfully original, creative show… I’m part of a bunch of moms who’s kids LOVE the UDS and we’re trying to get an e-mail writing campaign going to let the executives know what WE want to see on TV. So visit http://www.umbilicalbrothers.com and check out the link on the home page to see how you can help make this happen!
Wher/when can I buy the DVD?
Where/when can I buy the DVD?
Word in the grapevine is that the DVD of The Upside Down Show should be available sometime this summer 2007. I know it’s a while to wait..but we’re still pushing the write in campaign for a second season!

I want to know where I can get a Shane shirt and a David shirt. My son really wants one.
Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! uiwspdlfvllih
Shane and David … was this really you replying? I am so sad if this is the case. My daughter who is 15 months old just loves your show. I mean .. come one .. she laughs so much and has learned so much from you guys. She plays “Action Fingers†with me all the time. Come on guys .. you are NOT the Wiggles … you have your own identity. There is nothing like you out there. Please … please follow trough. Try other ways to still be a part of our kids lives.
I wish you could have your shows available trough ITunes .. that would make my daughter so happy.
This is really sad … really …really SAD. =(
BTW .. .when are they going to sell the DVD?
To June 8th, 10:42 — You can get a Shane “Play Button” shirt here — http://www.cafepress.com/playbutton
Please let me know if you find out where to get a David shirt. We will definitely need that for next halloween.
I also was wondering how to purchase a few dvd’s of the upside side down show. My two year old LOVES to watch it. When it is not on the tv he wants to watch the videos on noggin (the computer).
Also looking for a DVD. I have 5 children that all love this show (10 months to 10 years) By the way, the symbol on Shanes’ shirt is a “slow motion” button symbol, “play” is a side ways triangle by itself. Please come out with a DVD and merchandise!
This is one of the few children’s shows that I don’t get sick of. I love it as much as the 3 year old next to me. We fight over who gets to hold the remote! I would love to have it on DVD.
AHHHHHH!!!! i need the dvds!!!! luckily we have all 13 episodes tivo’ed but i want to be able to take them when we travel. my 20 month old LOVES this show. she will actually sit on the couch and watch them with her full attention. thanks guys for a great show!!!
When and where can I get the dvd of you guys? My kid loves the show but I think I love it more. You guys are a crack up.
The Upside Down Show is being released on DVD in Australia (Region 4)! You may order it from http://www.ezydvd.com.au or visit the ABC Shop product page @ http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=750248

I think you guys are fantastic not just for entertaning our kids so well but you guys are so “ah stop my side is killing me” funny, keep up the great stuff.
Thx Heaps.
Will this show ever be available on DVD? My 14 month old absolutely loves this show. She actually laughs at the skits. Would love to have a copy to take on those long trips to help keep her occupied or when Dad has to watch her and needs a quick fix for the crankies. Any body know any information?
You can get your Upside down show DVD from ABC Shop or i seen it at Sanity music store the other day for $20. People are also selling it on Ebay. It has 2 shows on it Barber Shop & Art museum………….i wish it had more shows on the DVD.
My 2 yr old is also obsessed with this show. He says I am Ms. Foil, Daddy is Shane and our dog Brodie is Fido. We can use our “magic remote” and even get him to eat veggies that way. He talks about the show constantly. I can’t believe they’re not making any more?!
My daughters,ages 8,6, and 3 LOVE the Upside down show. They discovered it this past summer. It shows on Noggin at 11:00pm. So now that school has started they can’t watch it anymore. I really want to find it on dvd. I love hearing them laugh when they watch it. I can’t believe it got canceled!
I love watching my 3 and 5 yr old laugh at Shane and David, It is so funny. I really want the dvd. It comes on at 10:00 pm for us and my boys are in bed per preschool. I would love to have this on dvd. I hope they stay on Noggin…
When are they coming out with more shows? My grandson is 14months he loves the show. I consider that hour our hour of freedom, he doesn’t move, he watches the shows over and over. As soon as we walk in the door he grabs the remote and tries to turn the program on. It comes on at 8:00 p.m. in L.A., CA. I think he feels they are talking and playing with him. He has learned how to knock on doors, sit still. I want new episodes at least enough so we watch different ones for two weeks and then repeat. someone hear our plea(lol).
Has anyone found the Upside Down Show on DVD, in the U.S., in NTSC format? The only ones that I have been able to find are at retailers in Austrailia in PAL format, which I’ve learned will not play on DVD players or TVs sold in the U.S..
I’m also looking for Upside Down Show DVDs that will play on US DVD players. Please post if you’ve found these!
