The girls are pooped fighting criminals, so the Professor takes them on a vacation...in the bayou...where Fuzzy lives...and guess who shows up? Yes, it's Fuzzy...and three little boys! Yes, that's right! It's the Rowdyruff Boys! Oh wait, it's "Roughing," not "Ruffing." Sorry. We're introduced to Fuzzy's three nephews: Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Wait, that's not right. Oh, I remember now; they were named: Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye and Poopeye. Hang on...that can't be right, either. That's four names. Ah, who cares?

Fuzzy and his kin annoy the PPGs constantly, but the Professor demands that the girls just grin and bear it. This make no sense, but it's the sole plot point of the whole episode, so we gotta sit through countless petty tortures while the Professor staunchly reiterates his mantra to the girls. Predictably, the whole thing comes to a boil when the Professor is the butt of Fuzzy's insensitive behavior. Then, the story takes a "180 degree turn" and ends up with the PPGs and Fuzzy's nephews as friends for some unexplained reason.

The writing in these last two seasons has at times been very formula driven and dull. For a show about super heroes, it's especially troubling. Achieving the special balance between farcicality and coherency is a delicate one. They must remember not to completely sacrifice one for the other. Maybe they ought to have a brainstorming session with the Adult Swim comedy writers to even things out?

Actually, that sounds like a good episode idea. I like it, "Ruffing it Up." I might sleep on it, throw in some nukes, give a nice twist, all that good stuff. If I get enough thought and time, I might produce and post a rough draft, but we'll see.
