U.S.—VeggieTales is finally being rebooted without all the sacrilegious elements of the Netflix version, such as eyebrows and irises.
One new character confirmed to appear in the show is a sanctimonious, elitest lemon named Don. A news anchor and cultured elite, Don the Lemon anchors a news show on Veggie News Network, popular in airports and hotel lobbies in the VeggieTales universe.
Don the Lemon will lecture all the other vegetables on how they're not as cultured as he is on his show and laugh at them for being dumb, hick vegetables.
"Have you ever seen the Grape family?" he says, laughing, in one upcoming episode. "They're like the Beverly Hillbillies but they're grapes instead of humans!
"Pa Grape sings a dope harmony though, even I have to admit."
Don the Lemon will have an archrival, Don the Orange, who is elected president of the kitchen counter on a wave of populist sentiment. Don will rant about him every night on his VNN program, but sadly, none of the other veggies watch the show.
The character is expected to leave a sour taste in everyone's mouths.
I miss “Silly Songs with Larry”.
It’s probably 20 years now, but every so often one of us will sing “Oh where is my hairbrush....” (When looking for our hairbrush of course. Why is that? Where do they go!?)
Cheeseburger. I wait for you.
As I do not watch television or am forced to watch children watching same, I have only ever been exposed to VeggieTales once.
I found the animated singing and dancing fruits and vegetables amusing; in addition I enjoy the thought of Don Lemon as a part of the cast.
I had a dream that following impeachment and our DOJs refusal to prosecute the coup conspirators that every “journalist” of the last three years, Wolf Blitzer CHris Wallace, Shep SMith, the NY Slimes folks, every last damn one of them lost their jobs and had to find work at fast food places and there was a website where you could find out where they worked now and go make fun of them.
Good times. We, too, 20 years later, sing out for our missing hairbrush, Barbara Manatee, and always refer to do our shopping as StuffMart. As well as starting a potentially awkward conversation with, “Dear Bob and Larry...” ;). Our kids and their cousins had all the videos.
Fascinating.
Possibly one may wish to reconsider the ingestion of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches immediately pre-slumber.
It was almost enough to sleep in for but after decades of getting up at Zero Dark Thirty I just can’t do it.
LOL. I’m retired. I don’t work at all. In fact, new parts of me quit working every day.
Does Don the Lemon get drunk at work and does he assault other male lemons?
Me too.

However, I am concerned about Larry's family: "I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth. She had a beard, and it felt weird." Are you sure that wasn't your great uncle Bruce?
Whew, I’m so glad this is fake!
It is?
