In the first episode, news reporter R.B. Bugg - with the help of news director Red Green - writes about two kids stuck on a Ferris wheel and the mayor's meal that left him with a tummy ache.
Following advice from Red to use adjectives, R.B. Bugg prevents a near scoop from rival TV station WBAD and its newscaster Hilary Fletch about a pizza-eating contest. Later, R.B. writes about a robbery and a runaway baby carriage.
Making headlines at WORD-TV is a monster roaming the woods who could be from outer space and a confrontation between a boy and a dog that leads to one getting bit.
By using the methods of when, where, and how, R.B. Bugg reports of a young boy's encounter with a giant fallen leaf. Later that evening, Red Green recounts of a not-so-talented magician who tried to disappear..along with someone's money.
R.B. gets an exclusive profile of a young farm girl and her bovine best friend. He later tells of the odd occupation of a boy who works for a pie-throwing company..and was even hired by his own boss to cream him.
