![]() ![]() “Or maybe a month late for my weekly bath.”) (“I’m a week late for my monthly bath,” he says as he sniffs his chicken armpits. ![]() Archibald also cavorts in a bathing suit, and he discusses his bath habits a little too openly. The slumber party is coed, but nothing wildly inappropriate takes place (though party-goers do tell scary stories and are dared to ring people’s doorbells and do a dance for anyone who answers.) Also, Archibald accidentally floods an entire house, which might’ve been disastrous had it not been for Jeremy’s stash of powdered gelatin. THE NEXT BIG THING CAST PLUS(On the plus side, it does protect bubble inhabitants from hay fever.) In the second story, Archibald invites his unpopular pal, Jeremy, to a slumber party-much to the dismay of some guests. In the first story in this episode, Archibald uses way too much of his sister’s extra-strong shampoo and creates a gigantic, unpoppable bubble that people can get into but can’t get out of. And while viewers won’t necessarily learn much watching it, they-and their parents-might find opportunity to share a laugh or two.Įpisode Reviews April 22, 2021, Episode 1: “Unpoppable/Slumber Party Hard” And with a cast about as large as Ben Hur’s, you never know just when something unfortunate might pop into view.īut while Archibald does seem to enjoy trashy romance novels, and he and Bea do, apparently, cohabitate, Archibald’s Next Big Thing Is Here! is way more silly than salacious, more giggly than gross. You’ll occasionally find some bathroom or gross-out humor in the mix here. And it’s true that the show is sprinkled with clever asides that might sail over the heads of the show’s target audience and land right in the lap of Mom and Dad.

What Came First?Īrchibald started his (chicken) run on Netflix back in 2019 and lasted two whole seasons there. Just what is Archibald’s next big thing? It could be, almost literally, anything. He might befriend a friendless school chum or slap hooves with a couple of too-cool-for-school deer.īut if Archibald’s companions for any given episode are a bit of a mystery, they don’t hold a candle to the sort of scrapes that this friendly chicken might find himself in. ![]() Or perhaps Claire the Astronaut Monkey, who (considering her line of work) has a disturbing fear of space. His siblings are favorite playmates/fellow schemers of his: Sage loves the outdoors Loy is a little chicken scientist Finly digs music.īut Archibald just might kick around with a family of alligators, too. She’s just one of many, many friends and relations whom Archibald might hang with in any given episode. ![]() The bee’s name is Bea, which also is fitting. But he does have a bee as a best friend, and that might make him the, um, buzziest. He’s not the cutest or fastest or squattest or even ordinariest.
