3-2-1 Blast Off! is the first episode of the first season of Fetch With Ruff Ruffman and the 1st episode overall. It first aired on May 29, 2006.
Synopsis[]
Ruff showing the Fetch 3000.
Ruff was frazzled. He needed more time to get his first show ready, but unfortunately, he already had to appear on the air! What did he do? The show had to go on! Ruff sent Khalil, Anna and Julia to meet a big star. They arrived at the Museum of Science and discovered that the star is the sun, and that they were about to blast off on an amazing space race. They rushed through a city-sized scale model of the solar system—using trains, boats, cabs, and a three-wheeled bike—arriving just in the nick of time for the show's debut!
Khalil's Prize was Astronaut Ice Cream.
Meanwhile back in the cool comfort of Studio G, Brian, Noah, and Taylor watched their teammates complete the solar system challenge. You can bet Ruff didn't let them rest easy for long. He got their pulses racing with a tricky half-time quiz. Brian, Noah and Taylor answered most of the questions correctly, earning 40 of 50 possible points. The solar system scouts, Khalil, Anna, and Julia, each earned 80 points.
Feeling a little generous, Ruff decided to award 5 bonus points to Khalil because he managed to mention Ruff's name at least three times that day on camera. What a promoter! All together, Khalil was the daily winner, with a grand total of 85 points!
For his success, Khalil was awarded some packages of astronaut ice cream that he shared with all of the FETCHers.
