- Kids' comedy with all the clichés. Six boys (hero, pudgy, dumb, romeo, etc), reluctantly sent to summer camp, are grouped together in a ramshackle hut, and instantly identified as losers and outcasts by the overconfident camp bullies, who target gorgeous Tiffany (Jakub) as their Lothario's girlfriend. They set out to make everyone's life miserable as they impose their authority on the other kids and ineffective counselors alike. Andy, the good-guy hero, of course has a crush on Tiffany, but hasn't a clue how to approach her.

Until the bullies frame them and have them expelled.
- What would happen to the men of the world if all the women vanished? How would they manage with menial, day-to-day tasks, like making meals, tending to the baby and fetching things? Such a computer projection is "disproved", as a spokesman "demonstrates" how girls are innately softer and weaker than boys, and "explains" why men are superior to women - while ordering his secretary around the office. By the time he's finished, the women really HAVE left, and the men are left helpless. A witty, incisive and instructive look at casual and concerted male sexist attitudes towards women, this short cartoon (written by a man!) pokes fun at sexism by trying to pass it off as "natural".

- Let's get one thing straight. Eubie Goode doesn't take no for an answer. Famous from his long-running comic strip in Parents Magazine and soon to be star of his own animated telefeature, this two-year-old is a true toddler tornado. For the moment, Eubie is content to rule his entire family in their typical suburban home. His mother, Gloria, has the patience of a saint as she balances two jobs-- aspiring pastry chef whose confections are invariably thwarted by Bad Baby's tampering, and chief wrangler of Bad Baby himself. Cornelius, Eubie's father, is a supermarket assistant-manager and usually the unintended victim of Eubie's escapades. Kelly, Eubie's six-year-old sister, is Eubie's misinformed teacher, occasional interpreter, and reluctant caretaker. Keep one thing in mind when you enter Eubie's world: if you're not part of the solution, you have a major "Bad Baby" problem on your hands.
