Plot
The series is set in New Stuff City (a clear parody of New York City). The main characters (some of them parodies of characters from already-existing properties), having arrived from Stuffampton, Stringland (parody of Southampton, England), as played out in the first episode, "Teddytanic", become embroiled in comical situations and misadventures as they adapt to urban lifestyle. The main character's brother, Bibi, would not appear until episode 10 of the first season, "Invasion Around the Galaxy".
Due to the show's parodic nature, the series did not have an underlying story arc during its initial run, though some aliens would often invade New Stuff City in a couple of episodes. Although not posing a very serious threat in the beginning, they eventually became more powerful and more malicious as the series went on, and their later schemes and plots caused more severe consequences for Teddy and the gang, who find that they will have to disarm the aliens and beat them once and for all.
