VeggieTales Theme Song
The idea for VeggieTales was conceived in the early s when Vischer was testing animation software to use as a medium for children's videos. His first animation model was an anthropomorphic candy bar. When his wife suggested that parents might prefer a hero who promoted healthier eating habits, he began designing the characters based on fruits and vegetables. The cast of voice actors of the early Veggietales videos predominantly came from friends of Phil Vischer such as Dan Anderson Dad Asparagus and Jim Poole Scooter the Carrot who collaborated with Vischer on dramas at their local church.
The episodes generally follow a standard format where a moral issue is posited in the opening countertop sequence, either through a viewer question or an issue brought up by Bob or Larry, followed by one or more "films" that address the issue, with a Silly Song in the middle. The Silly Songs are generally introduced with a title card and a voiceover saying, "And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.
Lunt," or "Ukulele Karaoke with Bob," where another character sings the song instead. The Silly Song , if one appears, is usually in the middle of the program, often at a cliffhanger moment or in between two stories although the LarryBoy episodes, in particular, often lack this segment, with the exception of League of Incredible Vegetables.
Each episode ends with this program's signature sign-off: Bob, Larry the Cucumber , and other Veggie characters then sing the show's theme song as they hop to Bob's front door. The theme song ends with a character making a random comment, such as Pa Grape commenting on Archibald's new sweater. Bob and Larry then wait for the mailman, Jimmy Gourd, to deliver a letter.

Similar to the opening counter-top sequence of the VeggieTales videos, Bob and Larry read the letter and the cast tries to decide how to solve the viewer's problem through one of three regular segments: Lunt appears with his stick puppet, Paco the Storytelling Mule, and tells a story. The result always proves disastrous, as the story or film makes no sense. Bob and Larry then intervene with a story from a VeggieTales video.
The show ends with Bob and Larry wrapping things up by reiterating the story's lesson and thanking the kids for coming to his house. NBC episodes end with characters bidding the audience a simple "Good-bye". When NBC began airing VeggieTales episodes in September , [15] it edited the episodes to remove religious messages, including references to God. The original sign-off message--"Remember kids, God made you special and He loves you very much!

The original dialogue remained viewable by users of the network's closed-caption feature. Brent Bozell, president of the group, complained of the network "ripping the heart and soul out of a successful product", saying that if NBC was concerned about references to God, they should not have taken the series. Bozell added "This just documents the disconnect between Hollywood and the real world.
NBC replied that the editing conformed to the network's broadcast standards, which direct producers "not to advocate any one religious point of view. I want to focus people more on 'Isn't it cool that Bob and Larry are on television.

VeggieTales has a continuous back story that all of the cartoons are actually teleplays, performed by various vegetables and fruit that live together on the same kitchen countertop. Some of these characters have "real names," and take on various roles in the teleplays, although in the earlier adventures they appeared as themselves, showing some of their real-life situations. Most of these "regulars", such as Larry, Bob, Junior Asparagus , and Pa Grape , were established in the earliest videos.
