In "Finders Jeepers!", Dusty and Spuds visit the Goldberg-Jones’ renovated barn just outside of Great Barrington, MA.
Dusty and Spuds visit our national video contest winner, Lizzie Goldberg-Jones, and her family in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and go in search of a missing high top. They look for it all over the Goldberg-Jones’ property. It’s not in the organic vegetable garden, or in the compost heap, or hidden behind any of the solar paneling. Nor is it in the pen of Ella, the family pig, though Dusty and Spuds do have fun rolling around in the mud with Ella; Lizzie has to hold Petey by the collar to prevent him from doing the same.
They look in Lizzie and Petey’s Zen tree house—and they can’t find it under any of the zafus or behind any statues on the tree house shrine. But Petey tries to teach Dusty to meditate—he can’t do it, he’s just too hoppy and excited to sit with his eyes closed and his leg crossed.
The foursome gets pooped and they go inside for a snack made by one of Lizzie’s dads, Brendan Jones. He teaches them the fine art of baking cookies without sugar, wheat, or dairy. Spuds is particularly excited by the cookies and eats most of them. Spuds starts feeling a little queasy and wonders if he needs to go to the doctor but in the nick of time, Lizzie’s other Dad, Jonah Goldberg—who is a Doctor of Chinese medicine—comes home and makes Spuds drink some tea that tastes like feet. He drinks the tea and feels 100% better in no time.
Spuds and Dusty realize that there is no Mommy in this house—two Daddies for sure, who seem to be able to do everything but no Mommy. Dusty asks Lizzie about this. She answers, "If you think about it, there are all kinds of families. Some kids have one parent or no parents, other kids have Grandparents who are their parents. Petey and I have two Dads." Spuds and Dusty think this arrangement is awesome. They do their "AWESOME" song and dance; Petey joins in doing a round of pirouettes. Lizzie realizes they never found her sneaker. There is a dramatic pause. Jonah promises her a new pair. The Awesome dance resumes. Even Lizzie joins in.
- "Mad for Mandalas"
Spuds sees a mandala in a book at the Cozy Corner Bookstore and is mesmerized. He can’t talk about anything else but when he tries his hand at drawing one—it’s a DISASTER. Only one thing to do—get Dusty to pull a little speck of himself off that hails from Tibet. Spuds and Dusty learn the ancient art of mandala making from a group of young monks in the Himalayas. Dusty also almost blows away on a scary hike up to a monastery and Spuds finds out he isn’t allergic to yak butter—if only he liked the way it tasted.
- "Mardi-Paw"
It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Dusty wants to have his own purple float in the parade. Dusty and Spuds head to the Big Easy to soak up the fun and get crafty. They fashion the purple-est float in the history of floats. Only hitch is: when the animals of New Orleans see a rabbit is in the parade, they think the float is for all of them. Can Spuds and Dusty learn to share the limelight with this motley four-legged crew of Bourbon Street?
- "Home is Where the Heat Is"
It’s hot, so hot Dusty is feeling too wilted to travel. Spuds is bored, really bored. Dusty suggests that Spuds should pretend to be a tourist in his own hometown. Spuds is doubtful but decides to visit the Townville Museum of Machines and Motors. He gets so inspired by the museum, he builds his own motorized dustpan, so he can go on AWESOME solo adventures. Some bunnies should always be passengers.
- "Rinka Inca Don’t"
Spuds and Dusty decide to solve the mystery of just how the ancient Inca ruin of Machu Picchu was built. They high tail it to Cusco to hike the Inca Trail but are ill prepared. They forget about the altitude, bringing water, blankets or even a tent. They meet a little boy named Manco who teaches them about camping etiquette and Incan history. Spuds even learns to play the pan pipes—badly.
- "Aloha-ha-ha"
Dusty wants to surf—so he and Spuds put on their sun block and visors and pack the Dusty-Pan full of beach gear and head to Hawaii. It’s hard for a little dust ball to ride the waves—Dusty also realizes he’s afraid, really afraid of big waves; they remind him of vacuum cleaners. He joins Spuds and his new best BFF in Hawaii, Kalia, in hula school and discovers that dust balls have secret hips too.
- "Holidazed!"
It’s the holidays in Townville and Spuds is making up his present wish list. The rub is: he can’t stop writing it. He wants one of everything. He gives his list to Dusty who tries to buy him everything on it. Dusty is so busy shopping at the Mall of the Universe, he can’t go caroling and tree trimming or even attend Super Possum’s rockin’ Kwaanza Fete. Spuds wonders why Dusty is such a downer this holiday season. Everything unravels at the giant Menorrah lighting and Spuds learns that the holidays are not just about presents and are not much fun when you’re best pal is AWOL.
- "Hide and Souk"
Dusty and Spuds decide they want their very own personal genie to grant them their every wish. They jump in the Dusty-Pan and head to Marrakesh, Morocco. They wind up at the best place in the world to buy a magic lamp with a genie inside—the covered bazaar—also known as the souk. Once inside the souk, Spuds and Dusty lose each other in the chaos of their new surroundings. Neither wants a genie in a lamp anymore; their only wish in the world is to see each other again! Warning: This episode contains snake charmers and acrobats—who are kids!!!
- "Cordon Blah"
Spuds is tired of his same old boring non-dairy recipes, so he convinces Dusty to take a trip to the most famous cooking school in the world, the Cordon Bleu in France. Little does Spuds realize that French cooking is all about cream and cheese AND it’s much more complicated than he ever imagined—sauteeing and blanching are hard concepts to grasp for someone who burns toast. Chef Grande Couchon also keeps on forgetting Dusty is a student and keeps on attacking him with a dust-buster!
- "Disco-lexic"
Super Possum decides he must learn the AWESOME dance, only problem is: he can’t remember the steps. Dusty and Spuds fly around the world to find a dance teacher to teach him the necessary moves. Special guest stars Mikhail Baryshnikov and Anne Reinking can’t seem to teach him so much as a plié. Maybe Super Possum has to learn to dance his own special AWESOME way.
