Odd Squad is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
My name is Agent Olive.
This is my partner, Agent Otto.
This is what I had for breakfast this morning.
But back to Otto and me.
We work for an organization run by kids, that investigates anything strange, weird and especially odd.
Our job is to put things right again.
(moaning) Who do we work for?
We work for Odd Squad.
- You still haven't said a word.
- But sooner or later, you're going to have to talk.
All right, listen.
If you don't want to talk, how about a high five?
You just high-fived the Talkinator.
- It makes you talk.
- It does?
- Now, where'd you put the berets?
- They're in this briefcase.
Now that I can talk, let me do a freestyle rap for you about my childhood!
- Uh... - Back when I was a boy, all of the time, all I really wanted to be was a mime.
You couldn't even hear the sound of my feet.
But when I walk down the street, they would repeat: "He's the mime, "the best, best mime!
All the time, he makes no sounds!"
- Want to see us, Ms. O?
- There you two are!
Something very odd has happened.
You remember Mayor Macklemore?
- Mayoral greetings.
- What's the problem, Mr. Mayor?
- It's easier if I just show you.
Ms. O.
- What you're about to see is video from the mayor's big important meeting this afternoon.
- So basically, roads go from one point to another.
And what I've discovered is that people like them and they want to see more of them.
And if we can get enough situaaa... ♪ Yay, yay Mayor sing ♪ ♪ Mayor dance, Mayor move like there's ants in his pants ♪ ♪ Hey, it's time It's time for Mayor to dance ♪ - Mayor Macklemore, this is highly inappropriate!
- ♪ Look at my moves Look at my dance ♪ One minute I was talking, the next minute I was singing and dancing!
Who wants to see a singing, dancing mayor?
- I do!
- There's a time and place for singing, Otto.
This is not it.
- Right.
- I've seen this before.
Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid you have a case of the sing-alongs.
- Oh, that can't be!
I have to judge a spelling bee at 2:30!
- You must be having a musical reaction to something.
Olive and Otto!
You follow the mayor around today and find out what it is!
- I can't go back out again.
- It's the only way we can figure out what's causing this.
- Don't worry.
We'll be there, singin' and dancin' with ya.
(scatting) - Uh, no.
No, we won't.
- Wow.
Not much of a turnout for the spelling bee.
- What are you talking about?!
Both Larry and Phyllis are here!
With their new baby!
- (both): Hi, Olive!
- Hey, guys!
- Hi.
- Mr. Mayor... Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
(startled screams) - Mr. Mayor, this spelling bee isn't going to judge itself.
- Okay.
I can do this!
- Yes, you can.
- Baby's first word coming up!
Listen, baby.
Listen.
- Your first word is... (scatting) - Uh-oh... - S... A... B... - Don't look, baby Laralisa.
Don't look.
(bleating) - Well, I'm proud to announce that the winner of the Biannual Chili Cook-Off is none other than... (drumroll) Mr. Brown's Bean Supreme Chili!
There you go!
(mayor laughing) Yay!
Ooh, chili!
Chili!
It's chili!
♪ Oh, my little chili Oh, I love my chili ♪ ♪ Love my little chili tonight ♪ ♪ Yes, I love my little chili Ooh, my little chili ♪ ♪ Put it on my shoulder Make me feel bolder ♪ ♪ I got a big chili beard ♪ ♪ Yeah, you might think that that's pretty weird ♪ - Let's get the mayor back to HQ.
- Not only do we still have a singing and dancing mayor, my office smells like a bowl of chili!
- Well, if it's any consolation, it was the award-winning chili.
Mmm!
- I want this case solved.
Now!!!
- I have an idea.
Otto took pictures at every event we went to.
If we look at them, maybe there's a pattern.
- That is a brilliant idea.
What's a pattern?
- You know, something that comes up in every photo that might explain things.
- Oh... - Can I borrow that, please?
Uh... (hissing) - Look.
There's a lady holding a baby here.
And at the spelling bee.
- Am I having a musical reaction to babies?
- Hold on, Mr. Mayor.
There's no baby in this photo of the meeting.
- That breaks the pattern.
The sing-alongs are not caused by babies.
- I'm seeing something!
In every photo, there's something with the color yellow.
- I think you're right, partner.
At the spelling bee, the contestant has a yellow shirt on, and... at the chili cook-off, the mayor was holding a yellow ribbon.
And then, at the meeting, everyone at the table is holding yellow binder!
- The photos have the color yellow in common!
- That's a definite pattern!
Ms. O, is it possible the mayor's having a musical reaction to the color yellow?
- He's eating chili off his sleeve right now.
Anything's possible.
- Mr. Mayor, we cleared the area of the color yellow.
- Thank you, Odd Squad!
I'm so glad this is all over!
- (reporters): Mr. Mayor!
- Good afternoon!
I'm happy to say that thanks to the Odd Squad, my case of the sing-alongs has been cured.
It seems I was having a musical reaction to the color yellow.
(chuckling) Well... A special apology to the reporter from the Yellow Gazette.
I just want everyone to know, in this fine city, that everything is going to be... ♪ A-okay ♪ ♪ It's gonna be a-okay ♪ ♪ It's gonna be a-okay today ♪ - How can this be happening?!
There's no yellow anywhere!
- Talk about bad timing!
The mayor started singing when the press conference started.
4:30.
- ♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪ - Bad timing!
(singing) - What?
- The mayor started singing at 4:30.
And if I'm not mistaken, his meeting from earlier today was at 1:30.
(singing in the background) - Yep.
What about the spelling bee?
2:30.
- And here's the photo from the chili cook-off.
- 3:30!
- If the mayor's been singing 30 minutes past the hour, that's the pattern!
- We should probably get him back to headquarters.
- Yes.
(singing) Mr. Mayor, we gotta go.
Come on.
- Everybody conga!
- No.
No conga.
No.
- No!
No!
- I guess it's better this way.
No more questions.
- ♪ Everybody conga ♪ - ♪ Everybody conga - Everybody conga ♪ - Ms. O, we've figured it out.
- The mayor sings and dances every 30 minutes past the hour.
- But why is he singing every time it's 30 minutes past the hour?
- Uh, Mr. Mayor, do the times 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 mean anything to you?
- Yes, they do!
They remind me of my old high school glee club: The Thirties!
Oh, we used to have so much fun!
We'd sing for the whole school, every day, at 30 minutes past the hour.
At 1:30, at 2:30, at 3:30, at 4:30... - The Thirties pattern from the mayor's glee club is repeating itself!
(whispering): I think he misses that.
- (whispering): I do.
- I have an idea how to fix this.
But we need to bring The Thirties back together.
(background chatter) - You were right.
All of the other Thirties have the sing-alongs too.
- It's true.
My patients have not been very happy with me.
- I keep getting stung by bees.
- So that's it?
We're all cured?
- Not quite.
In order to cure the sing-alongs, the four of you will have to sing together one last time.
(background reactions) You know when I said there was a time and place for singing?
- Yeah.
- This is it.
Hit it, Ms. O!

I'm sure you know by now that when the sun goes down, the spider cats like to party.
Here's a picture of them.
But what you might not know is if you've been bitten by one.
Well, that's where I come in.
The 1st clue you've been bitten by a spider cat is that it hurts - a lot.
Here's a picture of me last night right after I was bitten.
Ha-ha!
The 2nd clue you've been bitten by a spider cat is that your hand will be constantly changing color.
But not to worry.
You can fix this with the Hand-on-Colornator gadget.
But do not, under any circumstance, zap your hand if it is blue or yellow.
If you do, your hand will turn into a meatball.
I wish I had time to explain, but right now, I have an unhealthy amount of spider cat poison in my bloodstream.
So how do you know the right time to zap your hand?
If you look closely, you can see there's a pattern.
What is a pattern, you ask?
Something that repeats itself.
Right now, the pattern is: Normal, blue, yellow, blue, yellow, and then it repeats.
Normal, blue, yellow, blue, yellow.
Now that we know the pattern, I can call it out and zap my hand at the right time.
Normal, blue, yellow, blue, yellow, normal!
Ta-da!
The only problem is, once you get your hand back to normal, you will start shrinking.
Goodbye.
- There you are!
Something very odd has happened.
Yes, I'm talking to you.
With the mouth and the nose.
Odd Squad agents zoom through tubes to get around.
But now the tubes are broken.
Go to pbskids.org to join Odd Squad and help us fix the tubes.
Odd Squad needs you!
- It's my toaster!
- If it wasn't for me, all your bread would be room temperature!
- Not to worry, sir.
We have a fix.
- I am the best appliance in here!
I'm better than the dishwasher, the blender and the juicer.
Why would you even want a juicer?
You should be squeezing your juice by hand, building muscle!
- Oh!
Yeah!
(bleating) - So like I was saying, all of these are cities and there are little people inside of them.
- Oh!
That makes sense.
- We hang out sometimes.
- There you two are!
Something very odd has happened.
- What's the problem, Ms. O?
- Oscar!
- Hey, guys.
So, I was in my lab working on this new gadget called the Daynator, which allows you to time-travel to a different day in the past.
- Cool!
- I thought so too, until... - What are you staring at?
- Oh no!
- There's another Ms. O?
- Yep.
And she's taken over my office.
Follow me.
- (both): Whoa!
- But how did dropping your Daynator gadget make another Ms. O?
- It's not really another Ms. O.
She's the real Ms. O, just from another day in the past.
- She's a caveman?
- Uh, no.
According to my gadget, she time-traveled from some day last year.
If I can find out the exact day that she came from, I can send her back.
- Oh!
Then we'll just ask her.
- Yeah.
- No, no!
If the other Ms. O suspects that she time-traveled and we send her back to the wrong date, it'll cause a timetastrophy!
- What's that?
- It starts with a timequake.
(rumbling) And then time folds in on itself, causing confusion and destruction, folding and folding and folding and... - Okay, we get it.
Timetastrophy: bad.
- So bad.
- Wait.
If that Ms. O sees this Ms. O, wouldn't she know something's up?
- You better fix this, and fast!
- We will.
Cover her.
Now, how do we find out what day the other Ms. O came from?
- I don't want to call myself a hero, but I've got this.
Happy New Year!
- Aah!
What are you-- It's not New Year's Day.
But you better get out of my office in 10, 9, 8... - I figured it out.
Ms. O is not from January 1st.
- That was your brilliant plan?
- Yeah.
- Otto, there are 365 days in a year.
You only eliminated one day.
That means there are 364 days she could still be from.
- I don't think I can get yelled at that many times.
I bet she's grumpy 'cause she's boiling hot.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
She's wearing that huge sweater and snow boots.
And it's so hot outside!
- But maybe not where she's from.
A calendar shows all 12 months of the year, so if the other Ms. O was in boots and a sweater, the day she's from must be cold.
- Good thinking, Oscar.
Let's get a better look at this.
Otto.
- Pull!
- Wow!
You guys are good.
- Thanks.
So, if the day the other Ms. O came from is cold, we can cross out any month that's not cold.
- Ooh!
It's no cold in the summer.
- Right.
And summer runs through June, July and August.
- Spring is a little cooler, but it's still warm.
- So that eliminates March, April and May.
- The other Ms. O had on snow boots.
There isn't usually snow in the fall.
- Right.
September, October, November are fall months.
- So through process of elimination, the other Ms. O is most likely from the winter months.
December, January or February.
- But that's still so many days!
How do I meet a 1920s' businessman?
- (both): Excuse me?
What?
- The next stage of the timetastrophy, after the timequake, time holes will appear, allowing things from different times to travel to our time: a 1920s' businessman, a viking, and, worst of all, a go-go dancer!
- Oscar, it's not gonna happen!
We will figure out which day Ms. O came from.
There must be more clues.
All right.
Otto, get back in there.
- No way!
I went in last time.
- Good point.
Oscar, you go.
- Why don't you go?
- Because I'm the person deciding who should go.
- Doesn't even make any sense.
- Well, one of us has to go!
- It's definitely not me.
- I'm not doing this.
- Hey, guys.
Have you seen my partner?
- Octavia!
We need a favor.
- Sure.
What's up?
- Here's the deal.
The Ms. O that's up in that office is not the real Ms. O.
- She's from a different day.
- But we don't know what day.
- Which is where you come in.
- You need to go in and get some clues so we can figure out which day she's from.
Got it?
- Got it.
So I go up there and ask her what day she's from?
- (all): No!
- If she thinks that she's from a different day, it'll bring on a timetastrophy.
- So I say I'm a timetastrophy?
- (all): No!
- Oh!
So we're all timetastrophies!
- (all): No!
- Okay, I'm just gonna go up there and wing it.
- You know what?
Don't even worry about it.
We just solved it.
- We did?
- Don't worry about it.
- Couldn't do it without you.
- Well, chuck up one for Octavia!
Ha-ha!
- All right, new plan.
The three of us are going together.
(Christmas music) (Ms. O growling in frustration) - Did you see that?
- Yeah!
That sandwich looked delicious!
- No!
She was decorating for Christmas!
- Oh!
Christmas is on December 25th.
She's from December 25th!
- Let's zap her!
- Wait!
No one puts up Christmas decorations on Christmas.
They do it before Christmas.
But we're getting closer.
January, February are after Christmas, so they'd all be too late.
So the other Ms. O is probably from some time in December.
- Ooh!
And we can eliminate anything after December 25th because you don't decorate for Christmas after Christmas.
- Or on Christmas.
(musical ringtone) Go for Olive.
- What's taking so long?!
- Sorry, Ms. O.
We're working as fast as we can.
- Work faster!
- Hey, Ms. O.
- Agent Obi, is that you?
I thought you left the squad.
- No.
I've just been here.
- What else was the other Ms. O doing?
Decorating.
Then she yelled at us.
Then she took a bite of her sandwich... - Wait.
What kind of sandwich?
- Roast beef, heavy mustard, light mayo with a 7-grain bread.
I like food.
- Chili's on Thursdays.
So you can eliminate any other day that's not Thursday.
- Through process of elimination, the other Ms. O has to be from either December 3rd, 10th, 17th or 24th.
- Let's just pick one and blast her back.
- And face the time sheep?!
- (both): The what?!
- The final stage of the timetastrophy.
(rumbling and bleating) (dance music) - Cool!
Not cool.
- Wait.
My birthday's December 10h!
- It's a timetastrophy.
You want to talk about your birthday?!
You want to party or go bowling?
- I've got a plan!
Hey, Ms. O.
Can I leave a little early?
Today's my birthday.
- Ha!
Nice try.
Your birthday was last week.
- December 10th is my birthday.
But you said December 10th was last week.
So you would be at this Thursday, a week later, which is December 17th!
She's from December 17th!
Blast her!
(Ms. O screaming) - What are you doing?
- Trying to save the world!
(growling in anger) (screaming) - Do it again, Oscar!
(screaming) - Guys, be careful!
All right, stop!
We're all reasonable children here.
You put down the tray and we'll put down the gadgets.
Oscar.
Give it.
See?
- Now what is this all about?!
- Gotcha!
- Nice shot, partner!
- Thanks.
- No timetastrophy.
We got it right!
(screams of joy) - (both): No time sheep!
No time sheep!
No time sheep!
- No turtles!
No turtles!
Oh yeah, I didn't mention there was floating turtles too - but... - (all): No time sheep!
No time sheep!
No time sheep!
- Thanks, agents.
- Ah!
Glad that's over!
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you all standing around for?
Get back to work!
- Oscar, did you drop the Daynator twice?
- It needs a handle.
I understand that now.
(thunder) - Hello, time sheep.
♪♪ - Greetings, agents.
Got time between cases?
Why not head down to the Odd Squad Games Room?
It features lots of odd games, like Blob Billiards... Super Miniature Golf... or, my favorite, football!
(crowd cheering) There are also classes.
On March 4th, Agent Olaf is teaching underwater tennis.
(screaming in joy) When is March 4th?
It's easy to tell with a calendar.
There it is.
The 1st Wednesday of the month.
You like baloney?
You like hats?
Then you'll love baloney hat making classes taught by Agent Obfusco.
- Nutritious... and fashionable.
(western music) - Baloney hat making class happens on week-ends - so every Saturday and Sunday.
And I teach cheese wrestling every Thursday.
Agh!
Come here!
Oh!
This is a feisty one!
So every Thursday would be... March 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th.
Finally, be sure to join us on the last day of the month, Tuesday the 31st, for soccer!
With dinosaurs!
(growling) - There you are!
Something very odd has happened.
Yes, I'm talking to you.
With the pants.
Hundreds of creatures called Centigurps are on the lo ose in Odd Squad headquarters.
Go to pbskids.org to join Odd Squad and help us catch the Centigurps.
Odd Squad needs you!
