  • EPISODE 1
    3-2-1- Blast Off!
    Ruff is frazzled. He needs more time to get his first show ready, but unfortunately, he's live on the air right now! What to do? The show must go on! Ruff sends three FETCHers to meet a big star. They arrive at the Museum of Science to discover that the star is the sun, and that they're about to blast off on an amazing space race. Can they rush through a city-sized scale model of the solar system -- using trains, boats, cabs, and a three-wheeled bike -- before time runs out?!

  • EPISODE 2
    Good Dancing and Bad Teeth
    Ruff wants to try out some new dance moves on the poodle next door, but is horrified when she tells him he's got halitosis. He decides to send one team of FETCHers to learn how to ballroom dance, and a second team out to prove that dog mouths are cleaner than human mouths.

    How to Get Out Your Inner Hip Hop
    Ruff incinerates his daily ration of kibble in the Fetch 3000 but then discovers he's out of Chinese food. Resorting to desperate measures, Ruff must try to extract a treat from a dog toy. A starving Ruff challenges Anna to "cook" on the dance floor as she learns how to dance hip-hip, and Noah, Khalil and Julia must cook for a crowd of picky eaters - animals at the zoo!

    Cats? I Thought You Said Kites!
    Ruff is excited because he thinks today's episode is all about kites, until he gets a phone call from his boss Henry who wants the show to be about cats. Cats!!?? Ruff has no choice but to give airtime to cats as he challenges Taylor and Anna to train a cat to fetch. Meanwhile Noah and Brian must design, build and fly a kite that will lift a dog biscuit in the air and land it on the front porch of Charlene, the poodle next door.

    Ye Olde Colonial Episode
    Losing power in the doghouse gives Ruff the most Brilliant Idea in the History of Television! All he needs is a $250,000,000 advance from his boss, Henry, to buy a time machine to send the whole cast back in time…way back…to 1627! Dressed as Colonists, the cast members abandon their videogames and cell phones for log sawing, oven starting, jaw harping, goat tending, and lessons in Colonial life.

  • EPISODE 6
    To Bee or Not to Bee
    Ruff has just finished shooting his first ever FETCH promo, "Busy As a Bee," but he can't get out of his bee costume because the zipper is broken! Bees on the brain, Ruff challenges Brian and Khalil to learn how to be beekeepers. Anna and Julia's challenge has nothing to do with bees--they must learn how to windsurf with the help of windsurfing champion, Nevin Sayer.
