Boober's Quiet Day

Performer Dave Goelz chose this as his favorite episode, citing the challenge of portraying two sides of the same character (Boober and Sidebottom) as to why.

In the UK version, Sprocket is spending his day with Marjorie Tibbs, the vet for his annual check-up. The Captain receives a call from Marjorie that Sprocket is refusing to eat his food, and may be ill. The Captain becomes concerned and starts to reminisce about when Sprocket was a puppy. In Uncle Matt's postcard, Matt visits a library and tries to liven the place up a bit, first with conversation, then by performing his famous happy radish dance. (this segment is used in the Canadian version of Red's Blue Dragon (1986)). Marjorie Tibbs calls the Captain again to tell him she left Sprocket's kennel open by mistake and he's disappeared. Sprocket has found his way back to the Lighthouse all on his own.
