Episode Summary

Hannibal no longer gets horror monster parts, he's excited when Sydney, the chipmunk-dressed presenter of the TV show Uncle Buckle-Up, is looking for an actor to replace his good-for-nothing, generally drunk relative who plays Uncle's main sidekick, Ruff the Bear, who was in Sid's car when it had an accident. The team, dragged along to the zoo for bear research and to the studio for moral support and actual advice from lifelong fan Murdock, finds out that was no accident but a failed attempt, but not the last, on Sid, which has something to do with the dodgy Asian toy producer whose scandalous rubbish -the heads snap off was enforced upon him, who has build up his great reputation by promoting everything that makes his young audience safer. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Hannibal: Well, this is it, guys. An actor can tell when his career's coming to an end. You can only play the Aquamaniac a certain number of times before they exploit every aspect of his character. That was my chance at television immortality.
Face: But Hannibal, it was just a bear. They weren't looking for the definitive Hamlet, they just wanted a guy who wouldn't sweat too much in a fur coat.

Kelly: Who are you?
Face: Well, I'd, uh, I�d be glad to explain it to you.
Kelly: So explain.
Face: Oh, no I, I didn't mean here. What I had in mind was someplace, uh, quiet. A quiet filled with the gentle strains of Gypsy violins. The quiet where the soft bottle of champaign mixes mystically with the sizzle of moussaka. Yes, a place where the sound of two hearts beating as one pounds out the murmur of others.
Kelly: (chuckles) Something tells me we'd never get to the answer.
