U.S. Acres Episode Review: A Not-So-Scary Monster [SPOILERS]



Welcome back to the weekly U.S. Acres episode review! This week is Halloween, and it only would make sense to do an episode about monsters for this week's review. This episode was actually the last U.S. Acres episode ever aired on television, but that doesn't mean this blog will end. I plan on ending this weekly blog in Feburary or March to do my Mumfie blogs for the episodes not in the movie like "Mumfie's Lost Button" and "Things That Go Bump". I'm sorry that I'm not doing all the U.S. Acres episodes, I'm only doing a select few to make way for that reason. Anyway, onto the review! And also, I am only doing pictures for the episodes once a month from now on.
The episode begins with Orson picking out a book to read for Booker and Sheldon at bedtime. Since they've already read every book on the shelf, Orson tells a true story that begins on a mountaintop a few miles away from the farm. In the house, a family of monsters lived together. At dinner, they would tell about who they scared. One child, Michael, was unlike the others. He could never scare anyone. Due to this, his father sent him out of the house with a paper bag on his head. Michael promises to scare someone, and turn his life around. At first, he tries to scare a goat, but the goat was so annoyed, he hit the poor thing with a rake. Then, Michael stumbled upon Roy and Orson's brothers, who were chasing each other as the result of a typical Roy trick involving football. He says that their team is loosing, and the only hope is a touchdown. Roy gives the brothers crazy instructions on what to do. Roy wants to count to three seconds before a hike, but the brothers say they can't count that high, so Roy starts shouting random numbers at them. And then this happens soon afterward:

 
After that, Orson's brothers want to play football with him by attacking him. This gives Michael an idea: to tell them to stop teasing his friend. As Michael thinks of a way to help, the paper bag flew off his head, and scares the brothers. He had the paper bag on before Wade woke up, and he couldn't wait to tell his family how he had scared Orson's brothers. When Booker asks why Orson's brothers got scared, Orson says the monster resembled someone who sold sausage on TV. The reason why: Do YOU now what they make sausage out of?

Sorry it was a short one, but like Once Upon A Time Warp, this is a very fast episode. Next week, a fan-favorite episode gets reviewed!
