In this episode we learn a great deal about the traditions of the Showtime family and the respect Burlington doesn’t really have for traditions that have worn out their usefulness.

Featured in this Episode, “Samuel Spruce, the Little Wooden Boy: The Legend of Garbage Day” , “Public Domain Adventure Team: Total War” and “Boozlers in the Basement: April” with shorts, Lesser to None and Bigfoot Watch.

There comes a time in the life of every little wooden boy when he must leave the confines of his fathers house and go into the world to make something of himself. We’ve been over that with Samuel Spruce. Sadly, making something of himself is a little more complex than it once was and becoming a real boy is seeming farther and farther away. This isn’t going to dampen the spirits of an optimist like Sam though. So, he’s taken a job as a sanitation engineer; a job which is bound to teach him a great deal about society and economy.
