0:01:08 > 0:01:15What would you want on a desert island? I'd want my favourite books.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Pal, of course, and a soccer ball.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Oh...
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Buster would just want snacks and maybe someone to tell him jokes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32I used to be a safe driver. I gave it up. Who wants to drive a safe?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45I'm sure Muffy would just have the bare necessities.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Ah-h-h...

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Today is the first day of TV-Free Week.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35All the students will try to NOT watch TV for an entire week.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Now, TV is first and foremost... an abbreviation for "television".
0:02:41 > 0:02:49It's a box that transmits images and sounds into your living or bedroom...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52STUDENTS YAWN NOISILY
0:02:52 > 0:02:58..And the reason there isn't more conversation in the home...
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- (Why isn't there more of it?) - Because of TV.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Ah, yes, because of TV! So that's why, er...
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Sign up in your classes. Dismissed!
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Francine, your sister did TV-Free Week once. Did she say it was hard?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24No, she said it went by quickly.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- She got a gold badge that looked like a TV.- Gold badges? Cool!
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Hey, you guys, going to watch Bionic Bunny tonight?
0:03:34 > 0:03:42- You bet.- Buster, it's TV-Free Week. You can't watch TV for a week.- Oh?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Just because I signed that thing? Oh, what have I done?!
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- You didn't sign up, Binky?- No way! This contest is for geeks.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57What's more important - TV or a stupid little bet?
0:03:57 > 0:04:05- I'm not going to make it.- Come on - it's only a week. How bad can it be?
0:04:05 > 0:04:12- A week without TV is a great idea. We'll do fun family things.- Yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- It'll force us to be creative. - What'll we do tonight?- Um...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'll take care of everything.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Is this your card? Um...- Oh!- No, honey.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28How about this one?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Well... Yes, that's the one.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38How about a cup of hot chocolate? Wait, I've some more tricks.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44- Arthur, think of a number between 1 and 10.- 2½.- No, a real number!- It is!
0:04:44 > 0:04:51- Only numbers 1 to 10 are numbers, right?- Why can't I use halves?
0:04:51 > 0:04:57You're both wrong. I mean, right! Let's do something we all enjoy.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Er, Jane.- Oops!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Please! Please! Please!
0:06:20 > 0:06:28- Lots of stuff.- Did you hear that? Lots of stuff and we missed it!
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- We have to keep an eye on him.- Too bad he doesn't have a little sister.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Dad! What are you doing?!
0:06:57 > 0:07:03Oh, dear! I'm sorry. My own father!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13It's 3.15 on Wednesday. That means we only have 6,480 minutes left.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- How many seconds is that? - It's still going to be 4½ days.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Two more milkshakes, please. ..Sure you don't want anything?- Two more?!
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Now you want to take away my milkshakes too! I won't let you!
0:07:29 > 0:07:36I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I can't take it any more.
0:07:36 > 0:07:43- I'll turn it on - I can't make it! - Call me when you feel like watching.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- PHONE RINGS - Huh?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Hi, Buster...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59WOOF!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02No, Pal. TV bad.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Elwood City News is doing a report on TV-Free Week.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10How is life without TV?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Er... Er...
0:08:12 > 0:08:20Great! I get to do magic tricks, sing songs, and my brother plays with me.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Are you sure this is OK? - Of course it's OK.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- You get to watch yourself on TV. - All set?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- PHONE RINGS - I'll get it. Call me when it's on.
0:08:35 > 0:08:42- Hello?- The first episode of Bionic Bunny's on, when he gets his powers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I gotta watch it!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It's not worth it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Besides, you know that one by heart.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- Just do the show in your head. - Yes, I do know it. OK, I'll try it.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Thanks. What are you doing? - Er, gotta go.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Oh, no, I missed it! - No, we're not going to watch it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It would be hypo-criminal.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Then Bionic Bunny says, "Maybe, this'll clean up your act!"
0:09:15 > 0:09:22- And he nails him two power blasts. - THEY ALL LAUGH
0:09:22 > 0:09:27He's better than TV! Yeah, let's just watch Buster.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33But can he do Bionic Bunny versus Techno Turtle Part V?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35You mean, the movie?
0:09:35 > 0:09:41It's on TV this Sunday. Wanna watch it at my house?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Or are you still doing that TV geek week?
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Come on, we've only two more days to get through.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Don't worry about me. - Yeah, I'm fine.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Besides, I'm sure it'll be on again next year.
0:10:02 > 0:10:09I will not watch TV... I will not watch TV... I will not watch TV...
0:10:11 > 0:10:18Could someone get my gelatine recipe book from the chest in the den?
0:10:25 > 0:10:31I will not watch TV... I will not watch TV... I will not...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34TV!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Dad, I'm bored.

0:10:42 > 0:10:48me cook - I'm making rabbits and turtles out of gelatine.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I think I'll go for a bike ride.
0:10:54 > 0:11:01I will not watch TV... I will not watch TV... I will not watch TV...
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I will...take a little walk.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12No-one will know. Binky won't tell. And six days is almost a week.
0:11:12 > 0:11:19- Buster!- Arthur, what are you doing here?- I'm...testing my brakes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I mean, I'm, er...
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Oh, we both know why we're here - to see the movie.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32I don't feel so bad knowing you couldn't stand it either.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Come on. I brought plenty of popcorn.- Buster, we're so close!
0:11:37 > 0:11:43- Yeah, five steps away. - I mean finishing a week without TV.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49Let's not ruin it now. Come on. I'll race you to the park.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Pass it over here!- Here, catch!
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Yeah!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Nice catch. Throw it quick!- Here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05THEY CHATTER Those gold badges look wicked!
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- Life without Monday night baseball was grim.- I thought it was easy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Come on - you almost didn't make it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Are you kidding? I could do it for another whole week!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24TV ON Buster, dinner time!

0:12:44 > 0:12:49Will you stop that snoring? I'm TRYING to sleep.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Stop yelling. You're giving me such a headache.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Everything echoes in this closet.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02You think you've got a headache? Listen to that snore!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04SNORES
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Oh, my aching head!
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Don't make me come out there!

0:13:16 > 0:13:21- Come out! I dare ya! - ..Ow! You hit me!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'm going to give you such a pinch.

0:13:48 > 0:13:55- And they're all mine!- Mama, he's gonna bite me!- I'm coming, sonny!
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Put down my boy, you big bully!

0:14:47 > 0:14:49You are dead meat!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Wait! I didn't eat anything.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Help!
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Agh!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Hey, I'm flying!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Ah-ha, stupid burgers!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11HE CRIES OUT
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Is everything OK?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You were yelling in your sleep.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23That was the worst nightmare I ever had.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I didn't even get a chance to eat anything.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33- You haven't had a nightmare since we got that night-light.- Look...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's not plugged in.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41I bumped it, but was scared to go plug it in in the dark.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45SNORING
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Mom! Dad! You would never tell anyone, would you?
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- Tell anyone what?- I sleep with a night-light.- Why would that matter?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59It'd matter, believe me.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04We won't tell. Now go to sleep. OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:15Then it slammed shut - BANG! What's she talking about?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20That scary video - The Lunchbox Of Notre Dame.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24That's the scariest thing I ever heard.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30- AGHHH!- It wasn't THAT scary. - No, I just wrecked my homework.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I gotta give it to Mr Ratburn.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37THAT'S the scariest thing I ever heard.
0:16:37 > 0:16:44What a bunch of little babies! "Oh-h, I'm so scared!"
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Mmm...
0:16:45 > 0:16:51Since scary videos are so popular, we'll talk about things that scare.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57- Anyone want to name something that scares them?- Roller coasters.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Ventriloquists' dummies. What's all that about, anyway? Weird!
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- A spoon.- A spoon? - When it's stuck in pudding.- So?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Like in The Lunchbox of Notre Dame.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14What about you, Binky?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Er... My only fear...
0:17:17 > 0:17:24is I might get so strong, the school will fall down when I shut the door.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Oops!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Other than that...NOTHING scares me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Nothing!- Mmm...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- My mom's here. See you later. - Close that raincoat!
0:17:44 > 0:17:49TOOT-TOOT Mom, ya-hoo!
0:17:49 > 0:17:56- Maybe your parents forgot about you. - They're coming from my Aunt Lucy's.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00If they don't, you'll be alone in an empty school.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Uh-uh.- Uh-huh. TOOT-TOOT
0:18:04 > 0:18:09That's my mom! Too bad - I guess you'll be here all alone.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:18:13 > 0:18:19Arthur, your mom called. They have to stay at your aunt's because of car trouble.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25- So you'll be staying with us. You can share Binky's room.- Uhh...!
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Binky's pyjamas don't exactly fit, but they'll do.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- I'm ready for bed!- Arthur's already in your room.- What?!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Ohh! Um, good night!
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- What's that?- What?- In your hand.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52There's nothing in my hand.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- ..See?- The other hand.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This? It's a... My reading lamp.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- How do you read down there? - Like this.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Doesn't look very comfortable. - I don't read a lot, OK? Good night.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- You forgot to turn off the light. - Oh, yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- THUNDER - Kind of scary.- Go to sleep.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25'Wah-ah-ah!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29'Let me out of here!
0:19:29 > 0:19:34'Everybody ready to see Binky's little night-light(?)
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'No! Let me out!'
0:19:42 > 0:19:44No-o-o!
0:19:44 > 0:19:51- What's happening?- Oh, honey... You forgot to turn on your night-light.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54There. No more nightmares.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00- I have nightmares if I don't turn the night-light on. OK?- Ohh...
0:20:00 > 0:20:04So go to sleep. ARTHUR SNORES
0:20:06 > 0:20:08See you, Binky!
0:20:08 > 0:20:15'Binky sleeps with a night-light! What a baby!'
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- You'd better not tell anyone! - Tell anyone what?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26..The Bionic Bunny crashed through the wall.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32OK, you win. Anything you want. Those books look heavy.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Out of the way!
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Give me my pencil! - I sharpened it for you, buddy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Binky...- What do you need, Arthur, old chum of mine?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50If you're being nice because...
0:20:50 > 0:20:55you don't want me to tell anyone you have a night-light, relax.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Wait! You're up to something. What's it gonna cost me?
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- Binky, I told you!- You're waiting till I don't expect it,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11then - wham!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- What's with Binky?- Oh, nothing.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21We've discussed things that scare us.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Let's hear how you help yourself to feel less afraid.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30'Binky has a night-light!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'Binky has a night-light!
0:21:32 > 0:21:37ALL: 'Binky has a night-light!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43'That's the funniest thing I ever heard!'
0:21:45 > 0:21:52Cemeteries scare me. So, when I walk by one, I whistle.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03It works! < When I'm worried,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I use my laser to shine a light on the moon.
