U.S. Acres Episode Review: A Blast Into The Past [SPOILERS]

Welcome back to the weekly U.S. Acres episode review. Last week wrapped up the "first episode" reviews. Now I will move on to other episodes. Not in chronological order, but in a random order. Some tie into holidays, like this one. As many Americans know, Columbus Day is next week. There was an episode of U.S. Acres where the characters pretend they are voyaging on Columbus' ship. This episode is also very interesting because it also has the characters traveling to other places as well. It is Once Upon A Time Warp.

Edited because I can't find the original one. (The German dub stopped showing the original title cards after Season 1!)

The episode begins with Roy working on a feather tan outside. Wade asks him if he can have the 5 dollars he's owed since 14 years ago back. Roy promises to pay his debts, but tells Wade that there's a ladybug nearby, scaring him. Roy says that trick has worked well for the last 14 years. Wade runs to Orson freaking out over the ladybug. Orson then asks him if he knows who Franklin Delanor Roosevelt is. Wade wonders if he was a ladybug, when he's actually the 32nd president of the United States, who once said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself", to tell him that he should be brave instead of scared. Wade then runs around screaming that he is afraid of fear. Orson then tells Wade he should repay the money Roy owes him, but Wade says he is scared. Orson asks him what history would be like if everyone was scared, and Wade responds that it would be a lot like his family reunion, because noody said hi to each other or ate any of the food-they were all scared. Orson then says that he's going to take him back into history. He asks him how far he should go, and Wade responds that they should go back to when he gave the money to Roy. But they wind up going to Christopher Columbus' time instead. Watch the video of the week to see how U.S. Acres told the story of the person who discovered the United States of America:

Orson then has to read another chapter, and then transports Wade to Kitty Hawk, where Orson and Wade play the roles of Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright (The Wright Brothers), who are about to fly the first airplane. Wade then says that he gets nosebleeds when he stands on tippy-toe and runs away. Orson notes that they're just pretending. We then cut to Roy saying that he hates repaying money he owes. Wilbur then asks Orville if nothing will go wrong, and Orville tells him that the flight was successful. Orson says that the force under the wings caused the airplane to lift, and it went into the sky, until the giant space penguins went and seized the craft. Orson then yells that his book was tampered with, and we find out that it was Roy who did all the silly endings.

To deal with Roy, Orson then conjures up a space fantasy involving a ship that was programmed to zone in on anyone who owed money to its' pilot. Roy says that it's a figment of Orson's imagination, but it fails, instead, causing the rocket to zoom and chase after Roy. Orson said that the rocket can't be stopped until the pilot got his 5 dollars back. Roy then decides to give the money to Wade, and all is well...until Roy swipes the money. Orson has found his book on prehistoric monsters, and this causes a dinosaur to appear, and Roy hands over the money. Orson and Roy then teaches the viewers a lesson: If you don't repay money you owe, a dinosaur squishes your head.

That's it for this review, kiddos. I know it was a short one, but this episode goes by very fast, that's why. Next week, I'll review the episodes with my favorite U.S. Acres character of all time in it.
