Crash Canyon

Norm, Sheila, Jake, and Roxy Wendell are on vacation with Norm's repellent cousin, Vernon. While navigating a steep cliff-side road, their RV misses a turn and falls straight into the canyon, taking the whole Wendell clan with it. Upon landing safely at the bottom of the canyon, the Wendells meet a whole community of trapped canyon-dwellers.

When Jake returns from school with injuries inflicted by Vaughn Manderbelt, an enraged Sheila heads to the Manderbelt home, looking for a fight. Unfortunately for everyone, she finds one - except it's for Norm. Provoked into protecting his family, Norm agrees to fight Reginald Manderbelt in a boxing ring, which Jake kindly decides to make a profit off of.

When a storm reveals some hidden fool's gold in the canyon wall, sunlight starts reflecting into the Wendells' trailer, disturbing Sheila's (much-needed) sleep. Norm attempts to solve the problem by raising the trailer, but is unsuccessful, causing Sheila to become more and more unhinged. Roxy decides to participate in a musical written by Sid, and Jake acts as her manager.

Roxy and Jake come across a strange beast, and convince a hesitant Sheila to let them keep it as a pet. Mistakenly thinking it's a dog, Sheila entrusts them with feeding and walking "Beasty" who is actually a rodent that despises food and exercise. Meanwhile, Norm's inability to solve the canyon's power problem begins to affect his manly confidence.

Jake presents a project to the school on the 'Dire Wolf, a mythical canyon creature who nobody but Jake believes actually exists. Sheila's rage at a stuck zipper causes her to explode in anger and accidentally destroy Jake's project. Jake is furious at his mother and retreats to Frida's snack bar, where he finds comfort in a very nurturing Frida.

The canyonites play a competitive game of road hockey for the 'Canyon Cup', but are interrupted when a large, angry moose charges into the game. Sheila is the only one left behind, and takes the opportunity to score a goal, pronouncing herself the winner. The town decides that something drastic must be done about the rogue moose, but Norm is the lone dissenter.

While at a birthday party for Butch and Sly, Norm observes Colton being hard on Lippy, and decides to save the monkey by kidnapping him, much to Sheila's horror. Roxy is suffering serious technology-withdrawal, and Jake decides to take advantage by introducing her to the concept of 'mail,' and charges the canyonites for the service.

When Colton consults the stars and declares the date to be February 15th, Sheila resents Norm for forgetting Valentine's Day, labeling him as unromantic. Jake swoops in and sends Norm and Sheila away on a relationship-repairing romantic getaway, then partners up with Roxy to turn the RV into a bustling nightclub in their absence.

Norm is astonished when he loses his wedding ring in a poker game, and is flat-out terrified when he manages to lose Sheila's as well. As Sheila frantically searches the canyon for her missing ring, a desperate Norm reluctantly lets Jake play a game of poker in a last-ditch attempt to win the rings back.

After noticing the preferential treatment that Sarah receives as mayor, Jake decides to run against her for the job, and, seeing an opportunity to compete, Sheila signs on as his campaign manager. Norm decides to run Sarah's campaign against Jake when he discovers Jake and Sheila's underhanded tactics.

Fruit has been mysteriously disappearing from the canyon orchard, causing a dire food shortage. Jake is thrilled to find a fully-equipped film truck in the canyon and enlists Butch and Sly to create a controversial expose on canyon life. Norm and Sheila are becoming 'frustruated' by the lack of privacy in the canyon and go to extreme lengths to find a quite place for some romantic alone time.

It's time for the annual 'Miss Crash Canyon' pageant, and Roxy is thrilled to have a forum for confirming her popularity. Unfortunately for her, Sheila is dead-set against pageants, and through her vocal campaigning she succeeds in turning the 'Miss Crash Canyon' pageant into the 'Mr. Crash Canyon' pageant.

Roxy and Jake discover a centuries-old satchel containing a diary and a bottle. They bring their discovery to Nalappat's bar, where Sid consumes the mysterious liquid in the bottle and is granted the ability to speak fluid French. The canyonites gather around and read the diary, which details the adventures of 'Robin Banks' and what appears to be cannibalism between him and his companions.

Enamored with the idea of being a wealthy Manderbelt, Jake decides that the quickest route to their fortune is through their daughter, Pristine, so he decides to ask for her hand in marriage. Surprisingly, Pristine accepts, but only as a way of proving once and for all if her parents really care about what happens to her.

Reginald Manderbelt begins promoting a dubious investment scheme to the canyonites, and the gullible Norm decides to invest their savings, despite warnings from Sheila. Roxy's neglect of her contact lenses catches up with her when Sheila discovers that she can barely see.

When Sheila comes down with a mystery illness, Beverly is quick to blame the disease on Lippy, and launches a campaign to quarantine anyone with the slightest sniffle. An outraged Norm and Jake set off to find the remote location where Sheila has been exiled, while one by one the remaining canyonites find themselves taken down by the disease.

When Sid unwittingly "cures" Roxy of an affliction, Roxy, Frida, and Sarah become convinced that he is a Messiah in disguise. Not one to miss an opportunity to make some money, Jake steps and begins promoting Sid's "miracles" to the entire canyon, and soon almost everyone is convinced of his holiness.

Sheila Wendell is convinced she has found her new best friend when Angel Charbanneau falls into the canyon with her pageant contestant daughter Brandi and Brandi's stylist Stephane. Meanwhile, in an effort to woe Carol the Paramedic, Vernon continually injures his own genitals.

Sheila Wendell launches her own Canyon cosmetics company but no one is buying. Norm, however, is making a killing as Sheila's sales prodige which drives her insane. Jake, Roxy and the other canyon kids discover a treasure trove of hidden candy and think their sweet tooth's are set for life until the candy starts to go missing and friends turn on one another trying to find the thief.
