Synopsis

When the Pickles and the Finsters go to the beach, Chuckie has a personal mission -- to set free the "Sea Moneys" ("Sea Monkeys") that his dad gave him.

- Description from Klasky Csupo.

Plot

Chas has gotten what he feels is a great pet for Chuckie: sea monkeys. Although Stu is less than sure little shrimp are decent pets, Chuckie feels the same enthusiasm his father does for them. Tommy points out they don't look anything like the illustration on the box, and they come to the conclusion it's because they're sad, that they miss the ocean.

It turns out both Pickles families plus the Finsters are taking a mini-vacation down the beach soon, an opportunity to release the sea monkeys back into the ocean! But then Angelica makes them afraid by telling them of a beach monster called the Sand Man....

Trivia

  • In the next episode, Family Feud, Didi says to Stu that it's just a game. In this episode, she repeats this to Lou, but both times it's useless.
  • Though Angelica appears, she is a secondary character with most of the adults.
  • The group sings the 1905 folk song Low Bridge on the way to the beach, with Lou singing the 15 miles on the Erie Canal parts.
  • The difference between the illustrated sea monkeys and the actual sea monkeys is not unique to this episode. Many kids have learned the hard way that sea monkeys don't even come close to resembling the illustrations and in fact are a variety of shrimp (but not one edible to humans).
  • This episode is also known as On the Beach.

Quotes

  • Boris: Hey, wait a sec, where's the two of hearts?
  • Lou: Two of hearts!? I didn't take no two of hearts!
  • Boris: When you take the card, you gotta play the card, you paskunyek!
  • Lou: Where'd you hear those rules, Budapest!?

  • Chuckie (screaming after he sees Chaz buried in the sand): My dad's been decaffeinated!
