Episode synopsis

MARVIN'S BREAKFAST JAM Marvin is asked to do a television commercial for a breakfast cereal and the whole carnival gets swept up in the excitement. Jack is thrilled about the publicity and the other animals are keen to do TV spots too. When Marvin realizes that the cereal tastes terrible, he doesn't want to disappoint his friends, but can't lie to thousands of viewers. He decides not to do the commercial and the job goes to someone less scrupulous - Lyman Slime! THE IRON CLAW Stripes makes disparaging remarks about the junky prizes contained in Jack's latest carnival game, the Iron Claw Machine. That is until he sees a trinket inside that he desperately wants. Unfortunately, Stripes is unable to get it and is too proud to tell anyone. When he finally tells Eddy his dilemma, his openness is rewarded with the prize.
