Synopsis

Everyone in Racerville is excited. Movie star Rock Rally is in town to shoot his new movie. Rock befriends a star-struck Dash and convinces him to be Rock's stunt driver. Dash is a little uncomfortable and disappointed when Rock insists on keeping it a secret, especially when he takes all the credit for Dash's amazing driving. Dash goes along with it, though, because Rock is one of his heroes. But when Rock takes the wheel, Dash is disappointed to find out that Rock is a terrible racer. Zanner tells Dash that he knows about Dash's stunt driving, and says that Rock is a great actor, not a great racer- dogs are good at different things! Rock overcomes his embarrassment and proudly announces to Racerville that Dash is his stunt driver.

Production notes

Adapted from the series of popular children's books by Bob Kolar, "Turbo Dogs" is a 3D computer-animated series set in Racerville, a town filled with dogs who are wild about racing. Each week, the canines encounter situations that require them to think through the "rules of the road" - issues that challenge the racers (and the television audience) to work hard, believe in themselves, play fair, and respect and get along with others.

Each half-hour episode consisted of two cartoons.
