Episode Set-Ups:[]
Each Episode of the series {Excluding LarryBoy and some Made-for-Hulu specials} the shows starts off at Mr.Nezzer's recording studio where Bob, Larry {or the French Peas} would greet the kids to this week's episode of The VeggieTales Broadcasting Hour!. Bob would read a letter from a kid directly on stage while Larry thinks of some solutions to the child's problems in the form of two stories and a silly song segment {excluding 24 episodes from the series}.
The story segments start out in either Towns, Cities, Businesses, Oil Rigs or anywhere the veggies would like the story to go as either Bob or Archibald would {sometimes} narrate the plot of the story itself. Once the first act of the story is complete {you'll know when the screen fades to black} a Silly Songs with Larry segment would begin to play.
Once the Silly Songs with Larry segment is over and the story's second act takes place, it usually results in a battle between the story's protagonists and the story's antagonist in a sort of anticlimactic kind of way. The antagonist pulls some sort of lever and gets the main characters trapped in drastic measures related to the lesson {excluding non-canon episodes}.
One character would sing a random bible verse and they'd be saved by the lord, as the lord would then grant them a wish per veggie as the episodes would end there.
Bob, Larry and the rest of the veggie crew {including some new additions like Bacon Bill and Percy Pea} say a random bible verse to close out the show {NOTE: other characters can say the closing line, not just Bob and Larry}. They close out with "God made you special" with Larry finishing it up with "And he loves you very much!, BYE!". The characters would then leave the studio stage as the lights grew dim until they'd go dark a variable line by Mr.Nezzer {depends on which episode and season} would play.
Sometimes if not rarely, a bonus clip would play after a certain episode showcasing what's to come. This has been removed since the episode Being a Good Sports makes you Awesome!. It would change again in the Season 4 episode A True Lunt's First Kiss Part One but instead of showing what's to come in future, it shows directly what happened during the events that led up to this. This was all changed during the Season 4 episode Larry's Silly Festival where it would go back to the way it was before with it showing future events. It would change for a final time in the Season 5 premiere episode The Dauntless Doof where it would showcase previous events before showing future events.
