Pilot - Puppet Love

Mervin feels there's something missing from his life and decides to get himself a girlfriend. With advice from his friend Lapeno, it should be easy, but one problem still remains: namely, Mervin is an idiot.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on Furry Avenue, uptight author Frank and his new-age lover Jim fall out over a game of Scrabble.
