TUGS - Sunshine - Part. 1

Reupload (For purposes of better quality and this is the actual version not one I edited in Movie Maker to add elements from the original version!)

The series starts by giving us an introduction to the Star Fleet. A tugboat called Sunshine from up river comes to help the Star Fleet. They are to tow in the Duchess, the grand ocean liner. The Z Stacks find out about this and they make a plan to get the contract. Hercules is away on duty. So the Z Stacks put Big Mac out of action by pushing him on a mud bank. When the Stars tow in Dutchess, Zorran pushes Sunshine into the Duchess's rudder. The Star Fleet didn't see this. Sunshine feels bad and he runs away. The Z Stacks are pleased with their plan and they think they will get the Contract. The Star Fleet are cross with Sunshine but Ten Cents sticks up for him and decides to look for him. On his search, He finds out from Izzy Gomez the tramp steamer that it was Zorran who hit Sunshine. He then tells the rest of the Star Fleet and they all go looking for Sunshine. They find him going towards his home up river. They persuade him to go back home with them. The truth is out and Captain Zero yells at Zak, Zorran and Zip. Captain Star tells the Star Fleet that they have learned they shouldn't jump to conclusions before knowing the truth and he also tells them that he has decided to make Sunshine a member of the Star Fleet.

Yeah... if modern children's shows referenced "corruption" or "bad business ethics" then the FCC would rip them a new one. This was a truly great show. :)

My favorite quotes in this part.

#1:

TopHat: "Sunshine"? Only good for day-work, is he?

Ten cents: Might brighten you up a bit, TopHat.

#2:

Izzy Gomez: (mexican drawl) Hey! You guys. I need a tow.

Zak: We don't except bananas as payment.

@Zorran202 yeah suppose, i often wondered why his appearances were mysterious and every few episodes.

[Zorran202]

@Howelly69 I meant as in at least about the same amount of time as Captain Star... If he is the leader of the Z-Stacks, we should've at least seen someone as amusingly devious yelling at his team for being a bunch of idiots XD

[Zorran202]

@lowestoftbus Well he is a busy TUG, with the sheer fact that his duties involve going outside Bigg City Port in a sense

[Twangabilly]

I always saw this as a depressing version of Thomas the Tank Engine

[TheMrbigtires]

TOP HAT IS A RAILWAY TUG!?!?! WTF!!!!

[lowestoftbus]

How come Hercules did not make that many appearances :/

[oldjaguar]

"you south american heap of junk"

Zorran where do you come up with these insults?.....

[Howelly69]

@Zorran202 hes in at least two episodes isnt he?

@pancakejarsrfun I think shows like this improve childrens' vocabulary.

[Zorran202]

I never got why Captian Zero was never featured though the whole run of TUGS.... He sounds cool and would have more interesting background character development if TUGS hadn't been canceled...!
