As they listen to the game, they also play a new game of "basketball" using a makeshift hoop and ball. It's a lot of fun and brings everyone back together.

Meanwhile, Henry is having his own problems. Despite his best efforts, he can't concentrate with all the noise and chaos. He decides to take a break and spend some time with Punky, who tells him about their day so far.

After hearing about the games and the radio broadcast, Henry realizes that he's been a bit too focused on work and needs to make time for fun. He joins in on the basketball game and even gets a bit competitive.

In the end, the day is a success. The kids had a blast without the TV and Henry learned that it's important to balance work with play. They all sit down to listen to the end of the basketball game together and celebrate a great day spent together.

"No Telly For Cranky" is a heartwarming episode that emphasizes the importance of creativity and teamwork in overcoming obstacles. It's a great reminder that sometimes, the best memories are made when we step outside our comfort zones and try something new.
