[Laughter]

Woof!

Over here, emily!
Right here.

[Barking]

Get it, charley!

Got it!

Unh!

All right!

Whacka-whacka-doo!

Whacka-whacka-what?

I remember that.

They used to say it
on "the brody brood"

Every time somebody
did something great.

But "the brody brood"
hasn'’t been on tv
since...forever.

It'’s on every night
on the reruns-galore channel.

Right after
"I love susie."

A little less talk,
and a lot more play, please!

Ok, clifford.
Let'’s get the ball
back in play.

Woof!

Woof!

No, I got it!

I got it, clifford!

Oh, no!

It'’s comin'’ to you, vaz!

Vaz!
Vaz!
Vaz!

Unh! What?

Vaz, what were you doing?

Didn'’t you see
the ball coming?

Sorry.

I was checking
the time.

I have to be home
by :.

But we'’re still
playing soccer!

I know,

But today
jerry bouncer is reuniting
long-lost friends

Who never
got to say good-bye
on his talk show.

Bye!

Well, I guess
that'’s the end
of our soccer game.

Yup, I guess so.

[Whimpering]

Emily: I hope vaz
doesn'’t have to leave

In the middle
of soccer practice again.

Me, too.

He'’s supposed to bring
our after-practice snack
today.

Woof! Woof!

Hey, guys!

Hi, vaz!hi, vaz!

Did you see our new
satellite dish
on the roof?

Wow.
Cool.
Woof.

We can get over
different tv channels.

Isn'’t that cool?!

[Yawns] last night
I watched shows

On different channels.

That'’s a lot of tv watching.

You must be ready
to play some soccer.

Uh, sure, but first there'’s
a show I wanna watch

On the learn-and-know
channel called

"Building your own
geodesic dome."

You said
you were going to
practice with us today.

You'’re in charge of bringing
after-practice snacks.

And after practice
we'’re going to the library

To start on our white house
project for school.

I know, and I'’m
going to do
all of that.

I promise...

Right after the show!
See ya!

This is so unfair.

I'’m starving.

Vaz promised he'’d be here
in time to bring the snacks.

So where is he?

I'’m going home.

Vaz: wait!

Aren'’t you
gonna stick around

And try one of
my super-duper
noodle-doodle sandwiches?

Your what?

It'’s a tasty little dish
I learned to make

On "cooking with gassy"
on the food fare channel.

You start with the bread--
baked to perfection...

Add a little sauce,
a few noodles,

Some cheese,
some hamburger...

[Whimpering]

Put on the top slice
of bread.

Ta-da! A perfect super-duper
noodle-doodle sandwich.

Looks...interesting.

I'’ve never seen
anything like it.

Almost looks
good enough to eat.

Almost, but not quite.

"Cooking with gassy"
is a great show.

I watch it every night
right after--

Oh, my gosh!

Right after the -hour block
of "incredible polyester
man" cartoons,

And I'’ve already missed
the first half-hour!

I have to go!

You just got here!

And we'’re going
to the library

To start
on our white house
project, remember?

Oh, right!
I'’ll meet you there...

Right after "polyester man."
Bye!

I can'’t believe
vaz isn'’t here yet.

He loves doing
these kinds of projects.

He doesn'’t like
doing anything anymore
except watching tv.

Sorry, guys.

I was watching
this great show

On the coach potato
channel,

And I had to see
the end!

Did I miss anything?

We were just reading
about the white house.

We have to learn
everything we can about it

So it will look just perfect
when we build it.

Ok, but I can only stay
for an hour.

The stars of pop channel
is showing

The new
boys in the alley video
at : today.

Oh, I'’d love to see that!

I'’d like to see that,
too!

Let'’s get busy
and do some reading,

And then maybe we can all
go to vaz'’s house and watch.

Great. Let'’s get busy!

That new boys in the alley
video

We saw on tv yesterday
was great!

It was verycool!

They'’re showing it again
today.

Maybe that'’s why
vaz is late.

Maybe he'’s
watching it again.

You know, I really love
watching tv,

But it seems like vaz
has stopped doing
everything else now.

I know. This morning
I asked him to go
bike riding with me,

And he said he had to watch
"captain larry'’s clubhouse."

Well,
I hope he shows up soon.

He'’s supposed to bring
the white paint,

And you can'’t have
a white house
without white paint.

[Whimpering]

[Whimpering]

Cool!

I didn'’t know we got
the channel channel--

A whole channel all about
the other channels.

Wow, it seems like vaz
hardly ever comes outside
anymore.

Hey, maybe if I start playing,
he'’ll come out and join me!

[Barking]

[Barking]

[Barking stops]

Well, that didn'’t work,

But there'’s gotta be some way
to get vaz to come outside.

Hey, look at that.

It'’s the white paint
for the white house project.

Maybe if vaz sees
the paint can

He'’ll remember that he
was going to help work
on the project today.

[Barking]

I don'’t think he can hear me.

I'’ll have to bark louder.

Awoo-oo-oo-oo!

Oh!

Clifford: awoo-oo-oo!

Hey! Clifford is singing.

He'’s good.

Good and loud!

[Howling]

Hey! What'’s wrong
with the tv?!

It'’s not supposed
to do that.

The satellite dish
is brand-new.

Awoo-oo-oo-oo!

Oh, no!

Uh-oh. Hey! Come back!

Gotcha!

There. Good as new.

What'’s going on?

What'’s wrong
with my satellite dish?

Clifford, is that you?

[Slurp]

Hee hee. Hiya, clifford.

Does emily elizabeth
know you'’re here?

Emily elizabeth!

Oh, no!
I'’m supposed to be

At emily elizabeth'’s
house today

To help with
the white house project!

Woof!

Everyone'’s counting on me
to bring the paint,

And I'’m really late!

Could you give me a ride,
please, clifford?

I'’ve got to try
and make it up to everyone.

Woof.

Well, it looks pretty good.

It'’s not toobad.

It looks terrible!

You can'’t have
a white house
that isn'’t white!

Vaz really let us down.

[Clifford barking]

All: here comes clifford.

Hi, guys!

Gosh, I hope
you'’re not

Gonna turn
our project in
like that.

Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

You can'’t have
a white house
that isn'’t white.

Here. Let'’s use this.

You brought it!
Great!

I'’m really sorry
I was so late today,
guys.

Well, we'’re glad
you'’re here now.

I was watching tv,
and I just lost track
of time.

You'’re always
watching tv.

I am?

It must be cool having
all those channels to watch,

But it seems like
you'’ve forgotten

About all the other
cool things there are to do.

I remember the summer
I got my first pair
of roller skates,

And all I did was skate!

I didn'’t read books
or play board games
or visit my friends.

I missed out on a lot
of good stuff that summer.

I remember that, too,

And I think I see
what you mean.

Too much of anything--
even a good thing--

Is just too much.

From now on,
I'’m only going to watch
my really favorite tv shows.

All: whacka-whacka-doo!

Woof.

So let'’s get busy
and paint this house white.

Let'’s!
All right!

And when we'’re done,

We can all go
play flopperball
in the park.

Flopper-what?

Flopperball.
It'’s really fun.

I'’ll teach it to you.

Where'’d you learn
to play that game--

On the flopperball channel?

Nope. I read about it
in a magazine.

Cool.

Great!

[Barking]

[Laughing]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

You want to hear
a speckle story, don'’t you?

Woof! Woof!

Heh heh. I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the best medicine."

"When speckle'’s friend reba
didn'’t feel well,

"She had to spend
the day in bed,

"And she was very lonely...

Until her friends came
to visit."

"Speckle brought reba
some delicious homemade
carrot soup."

"Luna brought crayons
and coloring books

"So that reba could draw
while she rested.

"Ravi and darnell told jokes
and made silly faces,

"Making reba laugh
and smile.

"Soon she was feeling
much better,

"And the g*ng wondered,

"Was it because of the soup?

"The crayons?
The silly faces?

"And reba said
everything was wonderful,

"But what she liked most
was having her friends
come to visit her.

"They were
the best medicine of all.

The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof!

[Slurp]
heh heh heh!

[Toot]

[Toot toot]

This is so exciting!

I just love my birthday.

Mm-hmm-hmm.

Which present
should I open next?

This one is
from my grandparents.

Isn'’t it big?!

Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!

This is just exactly
what I wanted!

[Squeak]

What is it, jetta?

It'’s a cybo pet.

The most amazing
electronic dog
ever invented.

Woof?

Ohh! I'’m gonna name it
"cybo."

[Whimpering]

What does cybo do, jetta?

Whatever
you tell it to do.

It'’s so amazing!

Watch.

Cybo, sit.

Woof woof.

Cybo, roll over.

Now, give me
a big hug, cybo!

Woof woof.

Oh!

I just love
my cybo pet.

[Moaning]

[Sniffing]

No, no, mackie,
don'’t touch!

Cybo is very special,

And I don'’t want him
to get broken.

[Whimpering]

Time for cake
and ice cream, everyone!

Come on, cybo!
Come on, boy!

Come on, mac.

Woof woof.

[Growling]

I can'’t believe
how much jetta loves

That new cybo pet thing.

I know it'’s impossible
to believe,

But I think she actually
loves that thing

More than she loves me.

I don'’t think you have
anything to worry about, mac.

Me neither.
After all, cybo isn'’t real.

He'’s just a toy. Whoa!

Jetta is crazy about him.

It'’s all she talks about.

Don'’t you think
you might be exaggerating
just a little, mac?

Not a bit!

Come and see
for yourself.

Oh! Look at that.

And this cybo pet is
the best birthday present
I'’ve ever gotten.

Watch.

Get the crayon, cybo.

Woof woof.

Now sharpen it.

Woof woof.

Now draw me a picture.

Woof woof.

Did you see that?

That dog can do everything.

No wonder she'’s
so crazy about him.

Oh, wow.
That'’s great!

Wow!

Cybo'’s the most absolutely
amazing dog in the world.

[Whimpering]

Guys, I'’ve made
an important decision.

It'’s time I showed jetta

That cybo'’s not
the most amazing dog
in the world...

I am.

Good for you!all right!

[Barking playfully]

Hey, mackie,
what'’s the matter?

[Barking]

Oh, I see.

You want
a yummy tummy yummy,
don'’t you?

Well, ok. Just one.

[Barking]

[Laughing]
ok, one more tummy yummy.

Now, go on, mackie. Go play.

Wow, mac, jetta gave you
tummy yummies.

Yes, well,
she waspretty impressed
with my tricks.

She sure was!uh-huh!

Of course, I'’m not surprised.

[Sighs]

I think everything'’s
going to be ok after all.

Aah! My paper!
Somebody grab it!

Woof woof.

Oh, thank you, cybo.

You always do
just what I tell you to.

And I don'’t even
have to give you
a tummy yummy.

Come on, cybo.

She really does
like cybo better than me.

She didn'’t say that,
mac.

[Sighs]
but that'’s what she meant.

I don'’t feel much like
playing anymore, guys.

Maybe I'’ll see you tomorrow?

Poor mac.

He really thinks jetta
likes that toy

Better than she likes him.

Oh, I just love
"sandy and her good dog sam."

It'’s my favorite tv show.

I'’m gonna go and get us
some popcorn while we watch.

Sam, I'’m home!

Come here. Come on.
Come to sandy!

Woof woof.

Oh, sit, boy. Sit.

Woof woof.

You need to go outside
and take a long walk.

Go on. Go outside.
Take a long walk!

Woof woof.

Hey, where'’s he going?

Hmm, I don'’t understand
why jetta thinks
he'’s so great.

I can do anything
he can do.

Whoa, look at that.

What'’s going on, mac?

I'’m not sure.

I think cybo is doing
an errand or something
for jetta.

[Robotic]
so what are you
doing?

I'’m going to help.

I want jetta to see
that anything cybo can do,
I can do, too.

Of course you can!

We'’re right
behind you, mac.

Thank you, guys.

Special free paper!

Today only!

Free paper! Take one!
Take one, please!

Well, I did tell him
to take it.

[Grunting]

Ooh!

[Chuckling]
there you go, little guy.

Oh, wait! The paper is free,
not the newsstand.

Clifford: woof.

Emily elizabeth,
have you seen cybo?

No, jetta, I haven'’t.

He never goes anywhere
unless I tell him to.

I'’ll help you
look for him if you want.

Thanks. Maybe he went
into town or something.

[Gasps] looks like cybo
is headed for the end
of the ferry dock.

Whoa!
Oof!

Unh!

Whoa!

Sorry, mac. But I'’m
not following cybo

Off the end
of the ferry dock.

Me neither!

Look, mac,
there'’s jetta!

Cybo!
Cybo!

Ha ha ha! Great!

Now'’s my chance
to show jetta

I can do anything
cybo can do.

I'’ve got to
follow him.

I don'’t know, mac.

I think jetta'’s trying
to tell cybo to stop

Before he falls off
the dock.

Maybe cybo
can'’t swim.

Whoa. Jetta
really loves cybo.

She'’d really be upset
if something happened to him.

I'’ve got to go stop him...

For jetta!

[Growling]

Mac, stop!
Let go of cybo.

Uh-oh.

My poor baby!

Oh, my sweet mackie-wackie.

I am so proud of you
for trying to keep cybo
from going in the water.

But cybo is just a toy.

I can always get another toy,

But there'’s only one mac,

And I love you!

Mackie.

Woof woof.

[Laughing]

I got it!

Aww.
Aww.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford and his friends
love to play games,

And everyone
likes to be the star.

But sometimes, it'’s better
to work together

Than to try
and win the game alone.

All: I got it!

Uh, guys?

I think we'’re doing
something wrong here.

Maybe we should try
working together.

Good idea, clifford.

It'’s worth a try.

Ok, then.
Let'’s do it.

All: yes!

Emily elizabeth:
working together as a team

Makes playing more fun
for everyone.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is "work together."

[All cheer]
