The Grinch's Community Service
The Grinch reluctantly hosts the Grinch Show as part of his community service for stealing Christmas. He refuses to talk to celebrities and expresses his disinterest in them. However, he eventually agrees to interview them. The show is a punishment devised by the Hoville Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to improve the Grinch's interpersonal skills.
The Grinch's Bedtime Rant
The Grinch goes on a rant about children's bedtime and criticizes parents for enforcing strict bedtimes. He believes that kids should go to bed when they want and develop their own sleeping habits. He argues that imposing strict rules on bedtime only leads to kids lying in bed, bored and unable to sleep. However, his co-host Cindy Loo Hoo disagrees and cites the American Academy of Sleep Science's recommendation of 9 to 12 hours of sleep for kids in that age group.
