- December 6, 2019
T.O.T.S. is an animated television series aimed at preschoolers that follows the adventures of a pair of young birds, Pip and Freddy, who have been tasked with delivering baby animals to their new homes at the Tiny Ones Transport Service. Each episode sees Pip and Freddy overcoming various obstacles and learning important life lessons as they work together to make their deliveries.
In the 21st episode of the first season, titled "Shear Madness," Pip and Freddy are tasked with delivering a baby sheep to her new home. Things get off to a rocky start when they discover that the little lamb, named Woolly, has lost her woolly coat and is now completely bald.
Pip and Freddy are confused and worried about how Woolly will be able to keep warm without her coat, and they set out to find a solution. They come across a group of friendly farm animals, including a wise old sheep who offers them some advice. The sheep explains that Woolly's coat will grow back eventually, but in the meantime they can help keep her warm by knitting her a new sweater.
Pip and Freddy are a bit daunted by the prospect of knitting, but with the help of the other animals they set to work. However, things soon start to go awry as the knitting process proves a bit trickier than they anticipated. Freddy ends up getting his beak stuck in a ball of yarn, while Pip struggles to get the hang of the knitting needles.
As they work on the sweater, the birds start to get more and more distracted by the other animals on the farm. They end up getting caught up in a game of tag with the farm dogs, and before they know it they've completely forgotten about Woolly and the sweater.
When they finally remember their mission, they rush back to the barn to find that the other animals have finished knitting the sweater without them. However, the sweater is a bit too big and bulky for Woolly to wear comfortably. This sets Pip and Freddy on a new mission to find a way to adjust the sweater to fit Woolly properly.
After a few false starts and a bit of trial and error, the birds come up with a solution: they trim down the sweater so that it fits snugly around Woolly's body. The little lamb is overjoyed and thanks Pip and Freddy for all their hard work.
The episode wraps up with Pip and Freddy learning an important lesson: sometimes things don't go according to plan, but if you keep trying and work together, you can still find a way to make things work out in the end.
Overall, "Shear Madness" is a fun and lighthearted episode that teaches kids about the importance of perseverance and teamwork. It also introduces them to the concept of knitting, which could inspire some young viewers to take up the hobby themselves.
