## Summary

Spyler, CeCe, and the other toys gather around to play a game where after Spyler counts, everyone moves however they want until he says "freeze", which is exactly what happens. CeCe and Spyler go get Wheeler because he likes to play freeze, but they don't see him in his garage. They call out for him but he doesn't come, they only hear him and he tries to say that he is stuck at the beach. The two head over to there and find him stuck in the sand, luckily Duck comes to the rescue and lists what they need to get him out: an egg beater, two silver kites, a paperclip chain, and four Silly Knights.

The two head over to the metal planet where they find an astronaut trying to move some "space junk". Spyler tries to help him by cranking it's handle, making it fall to the ground, but they notice that it is actually the egg beater. Next, they search for the silver kites, which isn't hard to find because of all the silver-themed stuff all around, and sure enough, CeCe finds it on each side of the rocket. They try calling for Wheeler, but remember that he's stuck in the sand and can't help. However, a little bulldozer helps by pulling the egg beater and kites.

The next destination is the forest, where Spyler and CeCe hear the Polka Dots at their tea party. He asks if they have a paperclip chain they can borrow, but they tell them they don't have a paperclip chain they can borrow, but rather a chain, that is hanging up a tree, they can have. Polka and Dot state that the Silly Knights are playing hide and seek, and Spyler and CeCe easily find them all around the tree house area, despite all of them claiming one is the best hider than the other. The knights agree to help, so everyone goes back to Wheeler. With a little teamwork, they build a contraption using the things and free Wheeler out, who drives back home. Spyler, CeCe, and the Silly Knights follow him back, until Spyler shouts "freeze", starting a freeze game all over again.
Blackout

## Stats

**Blackout** is the 94th episode of the series *The Little Lulu Show* that aired on December 15, 1998. It's sister episodes are *Mind Your Manners* and *To Tell the Tooth*.

## Synopsis

It is snowing outside, and Lulu and Annie watch from the window. They tell Tubby about it but he is more interested in his TV show. Suddenly, the power in the house goes out. Annie and Tubby decide to leave but Mrs. Moppet tells them to stay the night, exciting Lulu. Mrs. Moppet also hands them all flashlights. Lulu and Annie go get board games in the attic, and Tubby goes along with them after talking a while. They find sheets in the attic, and decide to do something better.

When Tubby climbs up and enters, Annie tells Tubby Lulu is communicating with the spirit beyond the grave, making Tubby slightly shake when she murmurs his name. Lulu tells Tubby "beware". Tubby has enough of the spiritual stuff and falls down the ladder to the floor, then decides to go help Lulu's mom make the sandwiches. Mr. Moppet comes home and tries to unlock the door, but he drops his keys in the snow. He knocks on the door which scares Tubby, but he goes to answer it anyway. Mr. Moppet tries the back door instead, but bumps into a snowman and Tubby opens the door at the exact moment, scaring him thinking it is an actual spirit. He tells Lulu who comes down the stairs, but she opens it and sees nothing. However, Tubby sees him running to the back door, so Lulu and Annie trip him when he comes in. The spirit, more or less, is Lulu's father, who isn't happy.

Lulu apologizes to Mr. Moppet, when suddenly the light and TV comes back on, and Tubby couldn't be more thankful. Lulu switches the lights and television though, asking if they can have a pretend blackout, which is fine with her parents. Tubby brings up that they should be using light bulbs because it took forever for Thomas Edison to invent them. Lulu tells him they won't have anymore seances, instead they'll tell ghost stories.

* Despite the light coming back on, the color schemes of the room are still colored as if it were still dark, and don't match what they looked like prior to the blackout. The right color palette is only seen a few frames before Lulu shuts the light off.

## Summary

Paddington can't wait to mackerel fishing with Mr. Gruber, who knows a retired Admiral named Grundy. Mr. Gruber is going to put the fishing experience in a new book of his. He even has oilskins given by a shop, but it is a bit big on him. Paddington gets on the boat and Admiral Grundy starts shouting boat terms that Paddington misinterprets. He also gets caught in the mainmast, but he is saved.

Paddington never knew how complicated fishing was, but luckily Grundy was there to help. One thing that Grundy informed them was not to throw the net while tangled up. Paddington gets tangled up in one, and therefore is put on untangling duty. Another thing he is in charge of is pulling the net up. Paddington gets a big catch of fish in the net. After their success, they are then treated to a peaceful afternoon on an island.

Admiral Grundy tells Paddington to "tie up', but he ties up his overalls instead of the boat. And when Grundy goes over to get his beach chair, the boat drifts off. Grundy is upset, but they now have to get ready to spend the night on an island in the tent. Paddington was excited to sleep in a tent, however. Grundy tells Paddington to tie up the ropes of the tent while Grundy nails the poles in. The wind starts blowing and the tent goes with it, so Paddington quickly ties up the tent to the tree, with Grundy inside. A captain then comes to the rescue who had got a signal for help, so Paddington and Mr. Gruber walk along and leave Admiral Grundy is left. He gave Paddington his tent as a souvenir, though he tells Judy and Jonathan how he could possibly get it in his scrapbook.

CeCe's Special Scrapbook

## Stats

**CeCe's Special Scrapbook** is the 12th episode of the series *I Spy* that aired on December 29, 2002. It's sister episode is *A Mumble Monster Mystery*. The Super Challenger in this episode are three pairs of sunglasses.

## Summary

CeCe puts something in her scrapbook, and tries to close it but can't. Spyler comes by and CeCe says that she filled her scrapbook with all kinds of her favorite things, and needs to fit even more stuff, making them joke about getting a bigger scrapbook. Duck rolls to them to see what's up, and CeCe tells her she needs to find more stuff to put in the scrapbook. Duck lists some things to find: a bone that squeaks, a sneaker without a lace, a bright red rooster, and a best friend's face.

Spyler and CeCe head into the forest. Spyler walks up a ladder to check what he can find in the tree house, but they hear a squeak noise whenever he tries to climb. This is because, one of the steps on the ladder is actually the dog bone. Continuing on, they hear a squeak again, and find out it's a mouse who goes hiding inside a house, which is a pink sneaker. CeCe sniffs it but it's not her's, then she sniffs the green one right next to it and it is the sneaker without a lace that they needed. Spyler cries out for Wheeler, who takes the sneaker and the bone home.

To find the red rooster, CeCe directs Spyler to a cave, where they hear a "cock a doodle doo" inside. Sure enough, the red rooster is in front of a red stop sign, alongside other assorted red things. Before they get to take it home though, they need to catch it as it runs around. Spyler makes funny faces at himself in the mirror, which makes CeCe and the rooster stop. At the same time, they also found the best friend's face, which is Spyler. CeCe later shares with everyone about the things in the scrapbook. The rooster has to do with the fact that it was in her first joke ever, which she tells. Spyler comments that the rooster would also like to be in the scrapbook, but first, they have to catch him.

## Trivia

## Summary

When they get to his house, Simon is getting ready to paint. Grammy and Simon shows them the paintings they saw at the art museum, which inspired Simon to create a "monster"-piece of his own. Simon decides to paint Willy, his dog. He makes him stand up with a hat and holding an apple and paints, but Simon makes the one eye too big. He starts over and ends up making it too small. Esme and Roy like it, but he starts over and messes up again. Simon stops and wants his pictures to be perfect that they go to the museum, but Esme knows he'll make something special.

Simon decides to start painting again, this time painting Willy in the backyard. He paints Willy happy in the mud, but he draws his tail as a "woosh" instead of a "swoosh". Simon then thinks to paint Willy in the bath, as he loves baths. Simon paints the bubbles around Willy and paints circle outlines, but one of them turns into an oval. Because he is on his last sheet, Simon vows to not make a mistake, except he paints the outline red. Simon starts having a Monster Meltdown, but Esme calms him down by breathing.

Esme really wants to show Simon how special his paintings are. Roy comments that he would see them in a museum, giving Esme the idea to create their own museum to show that they are special. Simon doesn't think they are perfect enough, but Esme says art isn't about being perfect, it's about how one feels. Simon thinks the paintings do show how special Willy is. They craft a museum wall and Grammy arrives. Simon describes Grammy the paintings on the wall and she loves them, asking if she could describe them again. Later at their house, Roy shows Esme his masterpiece of them together.

Aqua tells him that she looks a fright and has goop on face, but Rainbow ends the footage. Then, he and Blue sneak over to Wanda's where they get footage of Ruby before she meets her friends, where she puts lip gloss on and talks to herself in an outdoor mirror. Next he films Aqua doing an exercise workout, and then Sol trying to fix a water heater, constantly hurting himself. Rainbow records even more "private" footage.

Aqua and Ruby are annoyed by this and complain to Sol on what they should do, which he replies that nothing can be done, and that Rainbow has finally stuck to a hobby he enjoys. Rainbow comes swimming in telling them he entered the talent show, with them assuming that the film he was recording is now gone for good. At the talent show however, he is showing the movie, which causes the three to be afraid. But it turns out the film shown contains regular stuff the family does. Sol asks what happened to the embarrassing stuff, with Rainbow answering he edited it out, no longer containing the stuff that made the family "goofy".

They get to his house and Grammy surprises Roy with one of her hugs. Simon then says it is time to go to the museum, there is an exhibit with new explorers who had made new discoveries. Simon and Esme and Roy head off. Just as they head out, Simon asks if they are there yet, but they are only right outside his house. The museum is six blocks away which Simon says is a long way, though Esme and Roy think they can get there quicker if they walk through the park and sing.

However, they end up right back to Simon's house due to them walking in a circle. Roy gives Simon a coloring book for him to color on their way in the right direction, but with six arms, he colors them all before they can even take one step away from his house. Esme has another idea and gives him a list of things to find as they are on their way to the museum. He manages to find everything and they get to the museum, except, a road worker stops them as the road is closed. There is another way to get to the museum, although, to get to the first direction they have to walk six blocks. Simon believes they'll never get to the museum and starts having a Monster Meltdown.

They turn his wagon into a pirate ship and Simon reads the directions, first they go over the monster bridge, under some flags, and between pots of plants, then they get to the museum.
