Henry and June are ready for another episode of KaBlam!, until getting distracted by a dog who runs onto the set. Henry wonders where it came from, as June explains that it followed her to the studio. The dog then pounces on Henry, who admits he's always has wanted a dog, suggesting it be called Milo. June says to hold on, since she found it first and has already named it Wolf, after CNN "news stud" Wolf Blitzer. Henry isn't amused, asking June if she saw how much Wolf liked him, but she thinks it's because he has sloppy joe all over his shirt. June calls for Wolf to go for a walk, but Henry wants to take him for a walk instead. As they are fighting over the leash, they fall into a hole (chewed open by Wolf) that lands them on the title card of Action League Now!. June tells Wolf he's a bad dog, before she and Henry run away after seeing the title card. |
Action League Now! | |
|
Melty's Girl At Action League Headquarters, the Chief has summoned the League for a super, top secret briefing. As he tries to explain the mission to the Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky Diver, Meltman walks in with a girl, giving her a tour of the headquarters. The Chief is not happy with Meltman, as their headquarters is supposed to be top secret! Meltman tells him and the rest of the League that this girl, Andrea, is his new girlfriend and introduces them to her. Stinky wonders who she really is, but Meltman pleads it's his girlfriend, asking the rest of the League if that is so strange. The rest of the League deny their opinions as the Chief says that they have a DEFCON-4 superhero emergency and must move out. He tells Meltman to stay at the headquarters in case the mail comes. Meltman agrees to stay, until Andrea thought that he said he was a superhero. Meltman agrees that he is and gets the mail with "super regularity." However, Andrea tells him that the man she loves has an inner superhero just waiting to be released, and he should be where the action is with the rest of the League. Meltman admits that she's right, and as the rest of the League sets off in the Action Mobile, Meltman stops in front of them, causing them to steer into a bookshelf and get hit by a falling bowling ball! An embarrassed Meltman thinks that it's better if he takes the bus. The League and their newly-repaired Action Mobile are outside a warehouse, poised to pounce on a ring of large heavy object thieves. The Chief warns the League that the place is most likely booby-trapped, and somebody has to go in and sniff it out. He asks the League who wants to volunteer, and while the Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky pretend not to have heard, Andrea volunteers Meltman to go in. At first, he refuses, but Andrea tells him that the Meltman she loves wouldn't turn down a chance to release his inner superhero. Meltman nervously agrees in order to impress Andrea. Moments later, as the warehouse door opens, Meltman sees a dangling anvil, rigged to fall on whoever steps on the bullseye below. Meltman, thinking this isn't a booby trap, informs the rest of the League that the coast is clear as they stop the Action Mobile on the bullseye and under the anvil, which falls on top of them, flattens them, and destroys the Action Mobile! As that's the second time today he's inadvertently smashed the Action Mobile, Meltman knows that the Chief won't be happy with him. Andrea tells him not to worry, as once they all see the new and improved Meltman she has in mind, they will love him even more. Back at Action Headquarters, the Flesh, Thundergirl, Stinky and the Chief all laugh at Meltman's new suit, which is complete with a doctor's headband. Andrea tells them that he's no longer Meltman, he's Dr. Melt. The rest of the League continue laughing as they find that name foolish. The Chief tells Meltman that because of him, the thieves had escaped and the League got smashed! Meltman argues that it was his former identity who hurt everyone else. Andrea then tells the Chief that if he doesn't appreciate Dr. Melt's services, he will gladly take his business elsewhere, making the Chief warn her not to let her mouth write a check her hiney can't cash! Andrea tells the Chief to "cash this" — they quit the League, as she drags Meltman away by his cape. |

The Action League without Meltman? Henry says the mind reels! He can't wait to see what happens later, until hearing June scream in terror, as she walks on set with what was her Matt Damon wig that was urinated on by Wolf. Henry can't help but snicker, although June says it's not funny, and they've got to paper train Wolf right away. Henry thinks teamwork is not necessary, since it's June's dog and ergo, her problem. Enraged, she drags Wolf by the collar off the set. While June is shampooing her hairpiece, Henry asks everyone to enjoy Prometheus and Bob. However, the page is soaked in urine, much to his disgust, as he turns it. |

Tape #213, Television Placing a tape in the VCR, Prometheus turns on a television. Bob is excited, since the television features himself and Prometheus as well! Bob lifts up the top of the television to look inside it. Next, Prometheus and Bob sit on the couch to watch the television until Monkey blocks their view. He then shuts off the television, while Prometheus turns it back on. Monkey walks to the couch and then messes with Prometheus's remote control for the camera. As they fight over it, Bob is still watching television, until a scene on it scares him. Suddenly, a thunderstorm develops and a lightning strike destroys the television. Finally, although the television is destroyed following the storm, Monkey attempts to create his own show to entertain Bob, who then messes with Prometheus's remote control for the camera. |

Melty's Girl Since leaving the Action League, Meltman and Andrea have set up their own office. Meltman tries to get a framed diploma to hang straight and ends up falling down over the bookshelf, with the diploma ripping through his body. Andrea gets excited about their first assignment as she looks over an incoming fax, telling Meltman that the large heavy object thieves are committing another crime! Meltman, who is still stuck in the diploma, tells Andrea to call the police, but she tells him that this is a job for Dr. Melt. He nervously agrees, and Andrea heads towards the Meltmobile. Meltman tries to follow her, but the diploma knocks over a steel tower that lands on top of him. Moments later, the thieves are preparing to steal a television set. Andrea and Meltman arrive as he tries to say his new catchphrase, "Feel the Fear, Dr. Melt is here!", but his cape gets caught in the Meltmobile. The thieves laugh as Meltman frees his cape. They then decide to attack him, but let go of the ropes as they do. They walk up to him, and just as they are about to beat him up, the released ropes cause the television to flatten them, just as the Chief and the rest of the League arrive! The Chief congratulates Meltman for catching the thieves, and thinks he was wrong about him. Andrea then tells the Chief that it's too late for him, as Dr. Melt is finished with the League. However, Meltman tells Andrea it's her he's finished with and rejoins the League. Andrea tries to convince Meltman to stay with her, asking who helped him find his inner superhero. Meltman thinks he's really more comfortable with his inner chicken, making the rest of the League laugh. |
Henry and June Act 3 | |

Henry is relieved that everything is A-OK with ALN!. However, it's more than he can say about their set thanks to June and Wolf, who pulls down a clothing rack and rips up one of her orange cardigans. June pleads to Henry that instead of acting like a "ka-jerk," they both figure out what to do with Wolf, who is approaching Mr. Foot from behind as he puts some of the comic book panels back together. Henry thinks their Sasquatch assistant is about to take care of Wolf for him and June, although they can't bare to watch! As Mr. Foot growls, Wolf growls back and chases him. Mr. Foot clings to a panel in the comic book, which snaps apart and he falls onto Henry and June. June says if the viewers love this kind of mayhem, they should stick around for Life with Loopy. |
Life with Loopy | |
|
"Bull in a China Shop" Larry says when it comes to flying like a butterfly, lassoing the moon or wrestling robots, his sister Loopy has got her moves down. But in the confines of the modern American home, she's a Class-A klutz. The week before, Larry says the situation reached its "breaking point." While Loopy is walking down the hall, she breaks Mom's precious glass swan. Apologizing for that, she backs into Dad's turnip trophy, which also shatters and she apologizes for as well. Mom tells Loopy she has to be more careful and is more like a "bull in a china shop." Larry says Loopy has broken a lot of stuff before, but this time was different since she broke her parents' hearts. Finding something she can do about it, she goes downtown and discovers the store Posh Pots, which have purveyors of fine chinaware and quality knickknacks. Going inside, she thinks it's like Liberace's living room and finds a lookalike of Mom's precious glass swan. As she touches it, it falls to the ground and crashes. The owner of Posh Pots freaks out, until Loopy figures out that he is the "bull in a china shop" that her mom was talking about. Loopy thought The Bull was clumsy, and he was, until discovering Awkwards Anonymous, an organization dedicated to the helping the awkward, the ungainly, the clumsy, the klutzy! Loopy gets the point, and wants to sign up. Moments later, Loopy takes part in a meeting, as her fellow attendees Raquel and Francois introduce themselves. Raquel says she is awkward, while Francois spills his food tray, thinking he meant to do that, but Raquel thinks Francois is still in the denial phase. Loopy introduces herself, but knocks them down. Larry says over the next few days, Loopy attended regular meetings of Awkwards Anonymous, taking part in strenuous exercises designed to stamp out stumbling and control clumsiness. The Bull tells his fellow Awkwardians that they've worked hard to curb their clumsiness, but they must face one final challenge. They must carry a delicate china tea service through an obstacle course; not one piece may fall and not a drop of tea may spill! Francois and Raquel make it through first, and Loopy goes last. Despite her bumping one of the obstacles, she gets through unscathed and The Bull congratulates all of them on a breathtaking display of coordination! Offering them their certificates, Francois, Raquel and Loopy all approach The Bull (despite his plea for them to come one at a time), destroying his inventory. Although distraught over the fallen chinaware, The Bull feels happier than he's ever felt before! Loopy, Raquel and Francois don't understand, but The Bull says it's OK to be awkward! Loopy tells everyone to get clumsy, as they continue to wreak havoc. Larry says Loopy and the Awkwardians are OK with their clumsiness, and so are the Coopers, thanks to her brilliant new decorating idea, rubber knickknacks! |

June welcomes everyone back to KaBlam!, before Wolf pulls away her orange cardigan. June says to Henry they have to face facts; the inside of a comic book is no place for a dog. Suddenly, Wolf brings forth a red ball to play fetch with, but Henry tells him he's got to go. Wolf gets teary, until Henry changes his mind and they play. June is shocked, but Henry can't deny Wolf's cuteness. Wolf pounces on Henry again, until he and June run away from fleas that have escaped! The fleas then turn the page to the world premiere of Race Rabbit. |

|
Old Dentist Gabby McShouts-Alot welcomes all to a rally where Race is in the lead, thinking only an emergency can stop that horsepowered-hare! Suddenly, Race is informed by his superchip companion, M.A.X., that there is a call from The Minister of Dentistry. The Minister tells Race that the Queen wants to donate her central incisor to Tooth Boy, who has lost his smile. The Minister, while plucking the tooth out of the Queen, says Race can be the only one who can deliver it to the Binky Tooth Hospital, ASAP! Race says not to worry, as he's on it like "marmalade on toast." M.A.X. says according to her calculations, Race never will deliver the tooth AND win the rally in the same occurrence. Race tells M.A.X. to never say never, and just say punch it! Diverting off course to the Royal Palace, the Minister has the tooth ready for handoff. He tells Race he has four minutes to deliver the tooth, but the Minister realizes he stepped on the tooth, and has to go back inside the Royal Palace to pluck another tooth from the Queen. Now making a successful handoff, Race now only has three minutes to deliver it, but he thinks that only the Tooth Fairy could deliver it faster. Driving off, he runs over the Minister's feet, who cries in pain. As Race is on the move, he is spied on by his human adversaries, The Boolies, Zit and Winston, who disguise themselves as trees. Winston complains about why he has to be the one to carry around the extraordinarily, deadly laser. Zit pulls him by the nose and demands to be given the laser. Race gets an alert in his Turbo Rabbit Racer about a "Boolie warning," and M.A.X. thinks they'll never survive! Race, again, tells her to never say never and just say turbo reflector shield. Turning it on, it deflects Zit's laser shot back at him. Asking Winston for help, he pours his coffee on Zit. With T-minus 30 seconds, M.A.X. tells Race they're running out of time, and suggests he press one of the three emergency buttons. Race thinks it's an excellent suggestion, turning on the "sexy music." M.A.X. isn't amused, and tells him to press one of the other two! Race turns on his "turbo thrust" to hightail it to Binky Tooth Hospital. There, Tooth Boy is able to smile again, as he and Race receive applause from two doctors and a small crowd. The Boolies approach the hospital with Plan B; they throw one of Winston's shoes at Tooth Boy, who loses his tooth again. However, the crowd notices the "ugly bush" threw a shoe at Tooth Boy, and they chase after Zit, while Winston innocently pours himself a cup of coffee. Back at the rally, Gabby McShouts-Alot says it looks to be a glorious finish, but one question remains; where is Race? He is trailing behind, and Gabby thinks Race will never catch the leaders. However, he was listening in his Turbo Rabbit Racer, and tells everyone to never say never, with an overtake of the competition at the finish line! |

Henry welcomes everyone to KaBlam!, the show now eligible for state, county and federal emergency assistance. While the set has been destroyed, June is grateful that Wolf didn't get their silver Pulcinella Award. Henry explains that the "silver pulci," as it's known in the industry, is the second highest honor awarded at Cartoons on the Bay in Italy. June wonders where Wolf is, anyway, yet Henry hasn't a clue. June thinks Wolf is looking for another show to demolish and Henry adds on to that with him looking for a career to wreck. June also thinks Wolf is looking for another wig to soil. Having some regret, she then asks Henry if he thinks Wolf will be OK. Henry has no doubt, thinking Wolf is practically full-grown. Suddenly, Henry and June are worried, calling to Wolf in an effort to find him. Wolf wakes up from hiding, and he chews up Henry and June's Pulcinella Award, before closing the comic book. |
