Answer: Franken-celery

Junior is watching a movie about Franken-celery before he goes to bed. His mom sends him to bed and tells him he should not be watching scary movies at night. On the way to his room, Junior thinks he sees his family's picture turn into Franken-celeries. Scared, he runs to his room and shuts the door.

Answer: God is Bigger than the Boogie Man

After watching the scary movie, Junior thinks there are monsters in his room. He is scared of his dresser, his closet and underneath his bed. Bob and Larry surprise him and tell them they want to help. Bob explains that Junior does not have to be afraid because God is watching him and will take care of him.

Bob and Larry teach Junior the song:

"God is bigger than the boogie man.
He's bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on TV.
Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man,
And he's watching out for you and me."

Answer: Phil Winklestein

Phil Winklestein is the actor that plays Franken-celery on TV. Junior is shocked to find out he is not a real monster but is actually a normal celery from Toledo, Ohio. He apologizes for scaring Junior and Junior forgives him. Junior explains to him that he is not afraid anymore because God will watch out for him.

Answer: He needs to be more careful with what he watches.

Junior tells his dad about his adventure with Bob and Larry. His dad is proud of him for learning God is bigger than anything he is scared of. However his dad gives Junior some wise advice: we should be careful what we watch because sometimes that puts things in our mind that really shouldn't be there. He doesn't think watching scary movies before bedtime is a good idea.

Answer: a water buffalo

Larry claims that everyone has a water buffalo:

"Everybody's got a water buffalo.
Yours is fast, but mine is slow.
Oh, where do we get them, I don't know,
But everybody's got a water buffalooooooooooooooo!"

Alfred interrupts Larry and starts shouting that everyone does not have a water buffalo. He tells him they are going to get nasty letters from kids saying, "Where is my buffalo?" and "Why can't I have a buffalo?". Alfred is not prepared to deal with that so he asks Larry to stop being so silly.

(Fun Fact: In other episodes, Silly Songs with Larry does have songs about cheeseburgers and penguins)

Answer: King Darius

King Darius has a dream and asks the wise men for help. The wise men were not able to help the king but they told him Daniel could. When Daniel helped interpret the dream, the king was so pleased he promoted Daniel. Daniel became a very important ruler and the wise men got super jealous.

Answer: make a law

The wise men convinced the king to make a law that no one could pray to their God. The wise men knew Daniel prayed three times a day. When the law was made, Daniel still prayed. The wise men caught him and threw him into the lions' den.

Answer: Daniel was safe and eating pizza with the lions.

After Daniel was thrown into the lions' den, he was very scared. An angel appeared to him and sang. They said "Fear not Daniel". The next morning when the king went to the lions den he was surprised to see Daniel happy and alive. Daniel told him last night he and the lions ate pizza.

The king was so happy he told everyone to serve Daniel's God! However he was also very angry with the wise men. Daniel and the king chased the wise men who decided they were moving to Egypt.

Answer: Do not fear because God is with you.

When Bob wrapped up the show, Qwerty the computer shared the verse, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)" Junior learned that he didn't have to be afraid because God is bigger than all his problems.

He also learned he needs to be careful what he watches. However the biggest reason not to be afraid is that God is always with us. He is there for us like he was for Daniel and like the scripture says in Isaiah 41:10.
