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!

i also was wondering when a dvd will be out my son loves them!!!!!!!!!
i would also like to know when a dvd will be out, my grandson loves Shane and David!!!!
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!
Looking for DVD or VHS of The Upside Down Show for my 3 year old grandson…this is the first show that he interacted with more than a year ago. He loves it and I like it too!
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an Upside Down Show remote for the kids to interact with the show? My kids would absolutley LOVE one of those
I HAVE ALL 13 EPISODES OF THE UPSIDE DOWN SHOW ON DVD

my id is darthvader1974
my girls love that show but it doesnt come on until 10 pm at night that is just way to late i dont have dvr to record it either i wish they would have dvds out so i can buy them
i am very disappointment of the cancellation of the upside down show. i also want to purchase the dvds. i am looking foward for new episodes. i hope noggin aires them again or another tv station is smart and aires this show.

Hi, my two daughters love the show and all the DVDs on ebay are in PAL format, but just found the season 1 on iTunes. At least they can watch it on the computer now.
Like everyone else – my daughter loves the show and doesn’t understand why I can’t get it on the tv! I too, would love to buy a season or two on DVD – USA format
Another thing…noggin.com says it’s on tv right now, but it’s not?!?!?
We actually deplore the Upside Down Show (which is airing right now on our TV) and wish Jack’s Big Music Show would come back. It was our dance party time with our three year old.
Noggin.com would be right. The shows are airing on Nick Jr. now. I live in California and two shows air here each night. One at 8pm and one at 8:30 pm. I know this because this is my sons favorite show and we watch it every night. And Penny, I think the Upside Down Show is great but I agree with you on Jack’s Big Music Show. My son and I loved watching that as well and miss it!
I’m watching the show right now with my 2 year old. She LOVES this show!! I just wish it would air earlier in the day. They should also consider making a toy remote that corresponds with the show… The children would love it.
This is our family favorite! My son and daughter love this, and my husband and I enjoy it too. My daughter asks all day long what time it is, because she wants to make sure she doesn’t miss the upside down show! The only bad thing is it comes on so late, I have to let her brake her bed time in order to watch it. I want to but the whole season, is it available to buy? If so, where?

I’m sixteen years old and when I talk about the upside show to kids my age they look at me like im crazy. When I first looked at it I was like “Oh great another stupid show for me to pick on”, but when i start looking at it I actually fell in love with it. Too bad I started watching it late around 2009. Im hoping to get the DVD soon so I can watch it all the time and laugh all day long. I dont care what my friends say ima force them to watch it to and they will love it I bet. =]
To the first poster, Brandy Wilson. There is no remote that you can buy. The whole show is about imagination and how to use it! IT’S AN IMAGINARY REMOTE! Show your kids how to use their imaginary remote to flip them upside-down, fast-forward, rewind and everything else they ask them to do!
Hi I was wondering wen are you guys plaing the show in the afternoons my son is one year and wen he sees it is the only time that I could relax he loves the show and I wanted to know if is coming out on dvd
My 3 and 4 year old sons LOVE the Upside Down show! I know my brother who is mentally retarded would love it too but he would need it on DVD. When can we get it on DVD? I saw DVD’s on Amazon but they were non-USA format, so that doesn’t help.
Just to let y’all know, yesterday I bought the whole 13-episode season 1 on iTunes for $12.99. My kids are obsessed and now they’ll be able to watch on my computer, my iphone, and I’m in the process of burning to DVD as well. hope this helps!
I NEED A DVD OF THE UPSIDE DOWN SHOW!!!!!!!!!my 3 kids love it but it dosent come on til 10:00 at night i let them stay up and watch but when school starts back i cant please,please,please bring out a dvd shane and david are so funny i sometimes find myself getting caught up in the show…. this is the best show nick jr. has came up with in a while WE LOVE YOU SHANE AND DAVID!!!!!!!!!!
I am in total agreement with Alicia… right now I allow my five-year-old son to stay up and watch the upside down show when it comes on at 10:00pm and 10:30pm, but this will change when school starts. Please release the episodes on dvd in the US!!! Or, at least play the show earlier in the day so the little ones can watch it before bedtime! This is one of the best kid shows I’ve ever seen and I would love to have it on dvd!
Yaytastic my 2 year old learns how to talk ALDREADY!!!!! WAY TO GO SHANE AND DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE ! put the upside down show on earlier in the day or sell it on dvd in the US my three year son loves it and asks to see it all the time. It is a rare when he is able to stay up that late to see the show.
Oh my, i didnt know there was such a craze about this show, my 2yr old son loves this show aswell and its the only time he will sit down by himself for an hour being totaly involved in the show, its quite amazing how much my son loves this show, ok, here it is, there a no official dvds available foro the US market, there are only australian imports on amazon, if you want to get this show you can get it on http://www.ioffer.com and search for the upside down show, this is a dvd set converted into region 1 for the USA.
Hi! the reason I post this is I LOVE THE UPSIDE DOWN SHOW! my dad thinks that I’m stupid for it (maybe it has something to do with me being 13) I didn’t even know minute was a word!
my daughter LOVES the upside down show! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET THIS OUT ON DVD FOR THE US!!!!! i would really like to get it for her for christmas
The upside down show is loved by my 1 1/2 year old… He interacts with the brothers and laughs out loud. Why it was canceled baffles me. I would like to purchase any DVDs… Does anyone know where to pick some up?
My Grandson love this show but the only DVDs I find are not for USA format….HELP
My 5 year old son LOVES this show! We live in Ohio and it doesn’t come on until 11pm…which is too late for him to stay up. I think the show is wondeful and should be on earlier in the day too…seems like a lot of people like it.
We NEED the dvd set!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the upide down show doesnt come on locally until 11:00 at night
leah is 6 she wont go to sleep till she sees shane&david i need to buy the dvds where can i get them near dobson north carolina
My 1yr old absolutley loves the upsidedown show. We have had to record the episodes on the DVR. She walks around saying SHOW, SHANE, all day and gets very upset if she cannot watch it. THis is one of the only shows she will actually sit down and watch. I cannot believe that this show was not picked up by noggin for more seasons. Its great teaches kids how to use their imaginations and be active and creative. It is such a shame that this type of programming isnt being prommoted. My daughter is developmentaly delayed and she is learning from this show it is great for her. I have seen the australian format DVDs and seen 6 or 7 of them. I didnt think but one season had been made. Did they go on to make more and them air only in austrailia. I deperatley need these dvdsbut cannot find them. I would buy every single one if they were avaliable. I vote that we as parents try to get this program brought back. THey still air it so it must get good ratings and is obviously still popular. Same with jacks big music show she loves that one to.
