The VeggieTales Show

- Season 1

(2020)

Bob and Larry are preparing for their first Christmas show in Mr. Nezzer's theater and the show seems to be headed for disaster. Bob begins to wonder how to celebrate Christmas when everything is going wrong. It's only when the Veggies go back to the very first Christmas, where times were tough and things didn't seem to be working out, that they all learn the promise of Christmas - God is with us. It's a timeless story of hope that every family will enjoy.

The Veggie gang learn a lesson in getting along with one another while putting on a stage production based on the story of Abraham.

Larry the Cucumber is a finalist to receive a lifetime supply of Doodle-Whoppers Cookies. Now he can finally be happy. But when Junior Asparagus is revealed as the other finalist, Bob determines that both veggie friends need a lesson in the true meaning of "joy" - happiness that lasts. Bob rallies the veggies for a performance on the story of Paul and Silas - two friends who remained joyful even in the midst of a prison sentence.

Laura falls in love with a teen idol from a magazine, which sparks a show that shows what love is about. Petunia proceeds to tell the story of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz to teach how love isn't something we feel - it's something we do.

The Veggie gang learns about the American 2020 census, and it's importance. Together with the help of a catchy song, the veggies learn that everyone counts when it comes to the census.

Bob and Larry want to make the world a better place. They want to do big and important things that people will notice. In trying to do good and big things, they've ignored what are sometimes the simple and small things - like being kind to others. Pa Grape steps in and shares the story of Peter and John who stopped their big, important plans to help a lowly beggar who couldn't walk. In the end, Bob and Larry realize they can change the world through everyday acts of kindness - starting with their own friends.

The famous playwright, ShakeSparagus, wants Larry to star in his next play. All is not well and doesn't end well when being the star goes to Larry's head. That's when Bob decides that Larry needs to learn a lesson about humility. The Veggies reenact the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar who ruled over a very large kingdom and was very proud. His pride hurt himself and hurt others until God put him in a "time out" to learn a very important lesson. Join the Veggie crew as they learn that whether you are a king or the star of a play, that being humble and looking out...

Larry is ready to give up on being "good" when an act of goodness makes him miss out on new collectible toy he really wants. Lunt tries and fails to solve Larry's problem with a new product, "Mr.Lunt's Robot Call," then Pa Grape steps in and tells a Western version of the parable of the Foolish Rich Man from Luke 12. In the end Bob and Larry learn that doing things God's way might lead to some bad days, but ultimately leads to the happy ending we all REALLY want.

Madame Blueberry is upset that Junior failed to water her prized plant while she was out of town. Junior told her that he would water her prized plants. Junior thought it was no big deal, since it was just a plant. So Pa Grape and Archie teach Junior the importance of being faithful to what you say you will do using 2 biblical narratives: the parable of the talents and the story of David and Jonathan's friendship.

Larry has a great idea for an upcoming show: the story of the Wright Brothers and their invention of the airplane. Larry loves airplanes. Bob likes the idea a lot but he gets terribly impatient with everyone while putting together the show. Bob's can't wait attitude creates all kinds of chaos and hurt feelings amongst the crew. Petunia has an idea on how to fix all the trouble on set and rallies the Veggies to perform the story of Noah. Noah was a man who had to do a lot of waiting and while he waited he learned to be patient. From Noah, Bob learned that patience ...

When LarryBoy's biggest super-fan, Callie Flower, accidentally wrecks the LarryMobile, she makes a not-so-good choice and lies, making up a story about how the accident happened. Callie's lie causes trouble for LarryBoy and the residents of Bumblyburg lose faith in their superhero. Callie sees the hurt she has caused and tells the truth about the accident. Callie learns a valuable lesson straight from God's word: always tell the truth.

Jimmy and Jerry Gourd have ruined some of the Veggie show costumes by washing them on the heavy duty, extra-hard cycle. Bob is awfully frustrated and he is not gentle with his reply to Jimmy and Jerry. But they were only trying to help. It makes for a good time for a lesson about gentle actions and gentle words. It's through the story of King Rehoboam in the Bible that the Veggies learn the meaning and importance of gentleness. As a result relationships are mended and the crew is happily back together again.

Excited about his new smart phone, Larry believes access to more knowledge will solve all his problems. Pa Grape and Blueberry suggest there might be something even more important than knowledge - wisdom. Dr. Flurry demonstrates the difference between knowledge and wisdom with an animal show starring Jimmy and Jerry that goes horribly wrong. Petunia launches a retelling of the biblical story of Abigail and Nabal where the Veggies learn that being wise is something really valuable.

Larry wants to play his new kazoo in the show, but his kazoo is broken. How do we fix broken things? Junior and Laura think they have the answer, but their space drama goes horribly off the rails, breaking the set, AND their friendship. To find a solution to broken relationships, Pa Grape suggests the story of the Prodigal Son. Mr. Lunt also attempts to fix relationships with "Mr. Lunt's Relationship Glue," which proves disastrous for relationships, but pretty good at fixing broken kazoos.
