Episode Summary

Touchdown Tommy:
While Didi and Betty go shopping, Stu and the guys babysit the Rugrats while watching the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans, see note below) duke it out on the gridiron in "Ultra Bowl XXXVII". Later, Grandpa gives Tommy a bottle of chocolate milk; Angelica, who normally thinks she's too old for baby bottles, fights Tommy over it.

The Trial:
Someone broke "Mr. Fluffles" (Angelica calls it "Mr. Fluffle-Luffles"), Tommy's clown lamp, and Angelica wants to find out who. The fingerpointing, however, eventually points back to her.

There are no reviews for Rugrats.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Goof: Stu is holding some helmets when he says, "And best of all, each kid gets one". But in the next shot, Chuckie, Phil, Lil and Angelica are already wearing helmets while the dads leave to go to the TV. []
  • Goof: When Tommy said the last lines of this episode look closely. When he says those words, he was wearing his "Judge's Robe". When we do a panoramic shot of the room, note that he wasn't wearing a robe. []
  • Goof: In the episode "Touchdown Tommy", when the dads are shown on the couch, look closely and you'll see that there are chocolate stains on the wall (from Tommy's bottle). But Tommy hasn't gotten his bottle yet. Oops that wasn't supposed to happen. []
More Trivia
  • Tommy: Well... we don't know who broked the lamp, but we do know who did not broked the lamp. Phil and Lil couldn't have done it, on account as they were playing on the other side of the room. Chuckie couldn't have done it because his head was hiding under a pillow. Angelica couldn't have done it because she was taking her afternoon nap. And I couldn't have done it because... hey... wait a minute! Angelica! Didn't you already take a nap today before you came over?
    Angelica: Uhh... I... I took two naps today!
    Phil: But, Angelica! If you were taking your nap, how did you know how fast we ring round the Rosied?
    Angelica: Well... I...
    Lil: And how did you know we knocked the lamp when we ran by?
    Chuckie: And how'd you know... all the other stuff you knowed?
    Angelica: I.... I....
    Tommy: Angelica did it? You mean... you broke my lamp? []
  • Angelica (telling her confession): It all started in the hallway, I was looking for some crayons so I could draw on the wall... and blame it on you, Tommy (chuckles). Then I saw Chuckie sitting on the other side of the room, and Phil and Lil playing some stupid little game, you know the kind of game they play that they don't invite the bigger, better kids to play with? Which really makes me mad! So, I found your Halloween mask and put it on. Chuckie screamed like a baby and ran away, and that's when I saw it. That stupid clown lamp with that stupid nose and that stupid smile! I wanted to make sure that clown would never smile again... (pushes the lamp over and it shatters) []
  • (After Didi yells at the guys for watching their game and not the babies)
    Chaz (dejected): I told you we should've watched the Chess Tournament...
    (Receives angry glares from Stu, Lou and Drew) []
