Badtime Story is an episode from the fifth season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis[]
When Orson gets sick, the other animals try to read Booker and Sheldon the story of Chicken Licken.
Plot[]
Orson gets sick one night and has to be bedridden until he gets better. He was going to read the story of Chicken Licken to Booker and Sheldon, with his illness preventing him from doing so. The other animals plan to read the story to the chicks.
Bo starts off, describing Chicken Licken in a TV studio world, startled by a boulder. Convinced the sky is falling, Chicken Licken tells Cocky Locky (Roy). Lanolin interrupts Bo, taking over the story. She continues Chicken Licken's tale to Cocky Locky and meets Ducky Lucky (Wade), all convinced of the falling sky due to "ozone layer tampering." Roy tricks Lanolin with a fake call, then resumes the tale, leading them to Piggy Wiggy (Orson).
Wade comes in and tells Roy that his favorite show (the one they star in) is on, and Roy runs off to watch it. Wade continues where Roy left off and goes into a long stream of characters all with names that rhyme to almost no end. Booker and Sheldon also have trouble following what is going on.
Meanwhile, Lanolin finds out there was no call for her and Roy realizes Garfield's show is not on as it is not Saturday morning. All of the storytellers argue over who should finish, which disrupts Orson's rest. They all try to finish the story together only to find out that the story put the chicks to sleep. The others apologize to Orson for disturbing him, and he lets them help him get back to sleep by telling him the story, which they do by taking turns.
