A Lesson in Sharing
Oh, my! Determined to present something "classy" for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales! Assisted by those rascally French Peas, Archibald aims for new heights in veggie programming by attempting to produce "the world's first all-vegetable staging of Shakespeare's Hamlet," the first-ever "Classy Songs with Larry," and for the grand finale, the world premiere of what he believes to be Gilbert and Sullivan's lost musical: Lyle the Kindly Viking! Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos - and hilarity - that ensues, Bob, Larry, and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas. Don't miss Junior Asparagus as "Lyle the Kindly Viking" in this hilarious VeggieTales musical adventure! Your whole family will sing - and laugh - along as they learn that "sharing gets us more of what we really want - friends!"

I have been a fan for a few years of the VeggieTales series, but this installment is the weakest yet. Normally this cute series will reenact a Biblical story, but dress it up with running jokes, goofy songs, and physical (computer animated) slapstick. Usually introduced by a talking tomato and Larry the Cucumber, my kids always enjoyed them. Archibald the Asparagus runs this episode, and everything is kind of fun…
