Episodes
Season 1
Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake
The story follows a light-bulb-head orphan, named Otto Osworth, who is under the watchful eye of the nasty nun of the School for Wayward Tots, named Sister Thornly, who treats him badly for reading history books. Otto soon finds his ticket out of the orphanage, by using his knowledge of history to talk time cop Buck Tuddrussel and his robot Larry into abducting him. He is suddenly zapped to the satellite and to Eli Whitney's time where they must convince him to invent the cotton gin, not the flesh-eating robot.
Never Look a Trojan in the Gift Horse
Tuddrussel is showing Otto some outrageous souvenirs from the past when they get a mission to the time of the Trojan War, where the Greeks sneaked a giant, wooden horse into Troy's kingdom, filling it with solders to attack when the horse is opened, to win the war. Instead, they're filling it with candy for the king of Troy's birthday!
Napoleon the Conquered
It's a mission to Napoleon, the conqueror. Tuddrussel upsets him, and they almost get their heads cut off. (When it comes to Larry, the word "almost" just doesn't fit!) Suddenly his wife comes along and drags him home! Can Time Squad help him get away to conquer again, away from his husband-conquering wife?
Confucius Say... Way Too Much
Confucius was famous for coming up with short phrases. "Short phrases?" any one of the three Time Squad members might say. "You've got to be kidding!" And it's true! He's making his stories way too long! But will Tuddrussel's beating him up help?
The Island of Dr. Freud
The Time Squad must go back to the year 1899 to convince Sigmund Freud to stop hypnotizing his patients and making them act like animals (done by someone else).
Daddio DaVinci
Then, they meet up with famous artist and sculptor Leonardo Da Vinci. They have to find some way to encourage him to create great art.
To Hail with Caesar
After a problem with Tuddrussel messing with the controls, Time Squad travels to the year 46 BC to improve upon the flimsy city of Rome for Julius Caesar. But by the time the mission's complete, Tuddrussel doesn't want to leave! The Romans don't want him to leave ether. And Larry is forced by program to stay! It's up to Otto to train out-of-shape Caesar to beat Tuddrussel in combat to get everyone to snap out of their foolishness.
Robin' N Stealin' With Mr. Hood
After chaos from Otto and Tuddrussel in the gulf dome, Time Squad visits Robin Hood, who is stealing from the poor and giving to the rich, instead of the vice versa action he's supposed to do!
