    A Box ! How bad could it be, right? Wrong. Finster made a new punishment which was just four lines drawn on the concrete and the student would have to sit in the middle for a certain period of time. TJ is placed in the box and slowly starts to freak out. In the end, he starts rocking back and forth and then starts singing. The story in this episode was halarious and interesting. I have never quite seen anything like it. Overall, one of my favorite episodes of the show because of its good story, funny moments, and character development.moreless

    This episode was a classic! I watch it at least once a week! In recess usually its the other team members, if any, that need help and there is only few that TJ needs help. Not many times the gang has to come up with a plan, without TJ, to help him. If it wasnt for that 1st or 2nd grader who came and got the ball close to the end TJ would have been nothing but a blithering jelloball or how ever miss finster quoted it. So thnas to the gang and that kid with the ball TJ came back to his senses and went back to being the real TJ. Overall - a great episode!moreless

    The Box is another fantastic episode of an awesome show. In this episode Miss Finster has come up with a new punishment one so bad it will reduce a kid to nothing. Of course TJ is the first to try out The Box at first he assures himself that its just four dumb lines soon he starts going crazy thinking that The Box has sunk into the ground. When the punishment is over TJ has been turned into a goody two shoes. The rest of the gang doesn't like the new TJ so they come up with a plan to get him back to normal which is have him confront his fears and go back into the box. Eventually they get him in trouble and after its over he is back to normal and Finster goes crazy. This was a great episode of Recess and is definetly one of my favorites.

    Okay, okay, right, OK. Finster creates a new punishment for bad kids and TJ is the first to be "volunteered" (If you will) to go in there. So he has to learn from differences and the mistakes he made in his life...or at least sing "Knick Knack" like an underachiever should?

    This episode was really good it it\\\'s one of the funniest recess episodes in the series, especially from the cool guy to.....well Menlo.The idea of Finster actually winning the battle with some sort of hypnotic box was very original.It had it\\\'s ups and downs but it still made me laugh, definitely one of the best the series.
