Bobby the Hopping Robot is the eighth episode of Season 2 of Between the Lions, and episode 38 in total.

Plot

Lionel's new toy, Bobby the Hopping Robot, doesn't seem to be working properly. No matter how many times he and his father read the instructions, nothing fixes the problem. Eventually, Leona and Click discover that there was a typo in the instructions.

Segments

Baranby Busterfield and the Pigeons: hopping robot, hop, hope

Chalkboard: stop, top
Tiger Words: Lots of Tops [top, not pot]
The Monkey Pop-Up Theater: Irish Step Dance with the Short O (Version 1)
Arty Smartypants: Hop, Hopping, Hopped, Hopper, Grasshopper (Versions 1 and 2)

Fred Says: pop
Replaced Letter Songs: Ollie the Ox (Version 1)
Vowel Boot Camp: Camp Hoppa-Woppa-Coppa-Nope - not/note (Version 1)

Fun with Chicken Jane: Chicken Jane and the Pond (Version 1)
Tammy Lionette and Jasmine Guy sing Hung Up on H (Version 2) (EKA: Episode 32: Humph! Humph! Humph!)

Baranby Busterfield and the Pigeons (again): hop, hop, hop, hoppy ending

Trivia

Since The Vowelles sung the short O sound in the previous season without Martha Reader, they didn't appear in this episode because the gray cursor hand takes the "op" ending to the Chalkboard Word Morph segment instead.
