Synopsis

Tubby is supposed to be painting the fence, but he decides to go bowling instead. He figures that he'll only be gone a little while, so his parents will never know. Of course, he doesn't count on getting a bowling ball stuck to his fingers. When all of Lulu's efforts to free Tubby from his predicament come to nothing, it looks like he's got no choice but to fess up to his folks - until the accidental intervention of the ice cream man changes everything.

Production notes

The episodes are based on the original comics and combine Lulu's stand-up routines with her neighborhood adventures. Lulu is joined by the old gang, including her best friend Tubby, pint-sized Alvin, buck-toothed Annie and smooth Willie, among others. The response to "The Little Lulu Show" has proven that the resourceful and feisty girl in her signature red dress is a hit with a whole new generation.

A 52-episode series. Each show consisted of two LuluToons and a Lulu-Bite, with a stand-up sequence in between each segment.
