Flight of the Firefly/Thunderstruck

Season 1 Episode 34 | 23m 40s | CC

While looking for fireflies in the backyard, Hal catches one so the gang can look closely at it and watch it glow. Hal names the firefly George and promises to watch it and hug it and then set it free which he does, but for some reason George doesn’t want to fly away and hangs around Hal. / While making nature scrapbooks, a thunderstorm forces Nature Cat and pals to seek shelter in Hal's doghouse.
