Watch The Slugs & Bugs Show

The day after an amazing birthday party, Sparky

Tickets to Slugfest sold out in a few minutes time, and Doug, Sparky and Morty are all bummed to miss it. Maggie already has tickets, but hasn't told her friends because she doesn't have quite enough tickets for everyone. When author Dorena Williamson visits the workshop, they're excited to learn she's in charge of security at Slugfest this year, and is looking to hire a security team. The group sets off to impress her with their security-ninja skills. Will they prove they've got the right stuff? And will Maggie figure out what to do with her tickets?

Maggie Raccoon is focused on winning the upcoming Fantasticball tournament. When a teammate is injured at the last minute, can Maggie put her selfish ambitions aside and help her team play together? Meanwhile, slow-talking Doug struggles in his role as a sportscaster alongside the fast-talking Sparky. With helpful advice from Big Easy of the Harlem Globetrotters, can everyone discover the value of a team?

Maggie is excitedly working on the costume she'll wear to Inkli-Con (a convention for C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien fans). Meanwhile, Sparky learns the science behind how his tail lights up, and immediately becomes disenchanted with everything in life he previously thought of as magical and wonderful. When illusionist Bryan Drake drops by for a visit, he re-inspires the crew's curiosity and sense of wonder, and helps Sparky realize that there are many marvelous mysteries and true wonders in the universe God made.

Maggie Raccoon wins a visit from one of her heroes, sports-movie star Sam Superstar. But when Sam arrives, he's a little too impressed with himself to be very good company. Morty and Sparky are more interested in the shaved ice machine they are busy building, and also in the stories told by Sam Superstar's friendly security officer, Sgt. Bonita Blue. Even Maggie's excitement over meeting Sam soon fades, as she begins to realize that there are two kinds of cool, and one kind isn't that much fun to be around. Is there hope for Sam to learn what it means, not just to have fans and followers, but to actually have friends?

Doug the Slug's mom Trudy just returned from a trip to space and stops by the workshop for a visit. Meanwhile, Trudy introduces the crew to NASA astronaut Patrick Forrester. Sparky and Maggie are thrilled to get pointers on training for space travel from a real astronaut. When he puts them through some training drills, will they learn what it means to trust their mentor and pursue a goal with the tenacity they need to succeed?

Randall, Doug, and Sparky are invited to perform at the annual Lightning Bug Dance in the sky, but if they

After Sparky is elected as Project Manager of the Wilderness Council, he decides to build a playground. Doug reveals to him that because green slugs have controlled the council for years, the yellow slugs have never had a playground near their homes. Pastor and author Mika Edmondson and Randall are busy getting ready for the International Neck-Wear Convention, but Mika takes some time to offer wisdom and insight into Sparky's dilemma. With the help of his friends, and against the traditional process of the council, Sparky proposes a new and fairer plan for the playgrounds. How will Wilderness Council president Beatrice Green Slug respond to Sparky's proposal?

Randall helps Maggie and Morty Raccoon practice for the upcoming "Definition Bee." When Randall's friend, musician and author Propaganda visits and shares an inspiring, original piece, Doug and Sparky are motivated to try writing some of their own rhymes. Meanwhile, competitive tension turns into hurtful words between the raccoons. Can they also learn the power of words to heal?

When Doug is gifted a new internet tablet, he becomes so distracted from daily life that the others decide he needs an intervention!

Everyone is being creative and busy, but the workshop is an absolute mess, and Doug has lost his favorite stuffed bunny. Author and musician Andrew Peterson stops by and offers to help out. Randall puts all projects on hold until they can get things cleaned up. To make things even worse, the dryer breaks down, so laundry lines have to be strung everywhere. Maggie tries to get out of doing chores, as she believes her time would be better spent training for her upcoming game. Will Maggie learn the value of pitching in and helping?
