1.01 The Revenge – Ned is investigated by the library for a book he checked out in 1971 and Colleen strikes up a relationship with the librarian. Coleman and Jeremy believe that the man at the laundromat has stolen a large sum of money from their laundry bag. Employing Mooshe’s and Becky’s help, respectively, they each plan revenge.

1.02 Burning Down the House – Colleen’s mother (guest star Bibi Besch) comes for a visit and announces that she and Colleen’s father are divorcing after thirty-two years of marriage. Colleen is upset at the news and rushes out of her house, however, while she’s away her mother manages to set Colleen’s house on fire, razing the structure and burning all of Colleen’s possessions: her clothes, her furniture, and worst of all, her dioramas of her lost loves. Now both Mattis women stand on the brink of rebuilding their futures.
Kevin Strickland constructs a catapult by which he intends to hurl a cow through the air, thereby creating a perfect moment in performance art. The difficulty is finding the “right” cow. Becky expresses her displeasure at the animal cruelty associated with such an act, but Kevin Strickland is determined in his quest. But when he finally finds the “right” cow, Ned tells him that Monty Python already catapulted a cow in their “Holy Grail” film. Not to be distracted from his pursuit of the perfect moment, Kevin opts to hurl Colleen’s scorched upright piano instead.

1.03 Strange Bedfellows – Mooshe and Becky go away on a trip, and Ned promises he won’t throw a party. As soon as they’re gone he goes back on his word. When Jeremy comes up to put an end to the party, he ends up joining in, but wakes up the next day in Ned’s bed…WITH Ned, and he thinks he’s gay.

1.04 Wrestlin’ - Ever on the search for fame and fortune, Ned enters Kevin Strickland into a tag team wrestling. Ned isn’t worried about getting hurt (“The match is rigged. We’re the good guys.”), but Kevin Strickland is still nervous. Things change, however, when they see their opponents, the Dreisdat Sisters who are six feet tall and have huge pectorial muscles. Can Ned And Kevin overcome their powerful opponents? Or will they end up like street pizza?

1.05 Grandma’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Play Favorites - Team Fun is having a busy week. Maven Dooshe is about to perform for the Queen of England and the Queen’s granddaughter, Dave is in his school’s volleyball championship, and Mooshe and Dave’s Grandma (Mamaw Ruthie) is in town on a surprise visit. But when Mamaw only spends time with Dave, Mooshe believes that Dave is Mamaw’s favorite.

1.06 The Phone Message – Colleen regrets not going upstairs for “coffee” after a date, and proceeds to leave her girlfriend a series of increasingly embarrassing phone messages. Meanwhile, Ned and Robert L. Covington argue over the comedic value of a TV commercial.

1.07 Big Daddy – Jeremy’s old girlfriend Stephanie asks for his help in getting her son into Jeremy’s old prep school; and once Coleman sets eyes on the boy, he becomes convinced that he is Jeremy’s child.
Colleen pretends to be a professional motocross racer to impress a girl.

1.08 Wake Up Call - Mooshe meets a tall, bearded, almost animal-like stranger (Jon Chad), when her scooter becomes stuck in the slush. As the two get to know each other, Mooshe becomes infatuated with Jon and is oblivious to his strange lifestyle which involves catching fish with his hands and living in a cave. Within a few days, Jon announces he must leave to join his girlfriend. After he departs, Mooshe visits his cave only to find a very gentle bear who responds to the name of Jon.

1.09 The First Thanksgiving - After Becky, Mooshe and Kevin Strickland give a farm-full of turkeys their freedom, Becky volunteers to make Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family in Macarthur’s spacious kitchen, with Mooshe’s help (while Macarthur plays it safe with a restaurant reservation). But Ben is not offering up thanks when he’s the last to know that Becky might have more than just a bird in the oven.

1.10 The Idol Side of Me – Mooshe and Phil are up to their old tricks again, only this time Dave and Jeremy devise a plan to give one of the girls a taste of her own medicine. A persnickety pooch named Oscar drives Kevin Strickland and Ned batty with it’s constant barking.

How Team Fun and Kevin Strickland changed my life:

Ned Hugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 04:10:08 +0000

From “Emphasis Art” by Frank Wachowiak and Robert D. Clements, one of their reasons why art education is important in the classroom:

“Celebrating ordinary experiences. More Americans go to museums than to sporting events. Over one million Americans call themselves artists. Communities and cultures make art because art makes everything special. When art celebrates ordinary experiences, these experiences take on new significance. By making events and things stand out from the commonplace, art transforms and reorganizes our concept of the world.”

“Aesthetic awareness. Art education heightens our awareness of nature, art, and life. Spider webs, cloud formations, Van Gogh’s sunflowers, and beautiful moments in daily life are experienced more vividly if we have been sensitized to them in art classes.”

<3, Ned!
