The adventures of Uncle Grandpa who is out to help every child and adult in the world through the power of imagination. With his mystical R.V. and eternal optimism, Uncle Grandpa is always ready to greet the day - and everyone he meets - with his signature, "Good Mornin'."
Uncle Grandpa recap
Uncle Grandpa is a strange, magical man with a moustache, a propeller hat and suspenders who claims to be everyone's uncle and grandpa. Every episode begins with him appearing in a child's bedroom and shouting "Good morning!" He drives a big RV around the world, and sometimes beyond it, helping kids with problems in ways that make no sense but somehow work. His crew includes Mr. Gus, a sensible dinosaur; Pizza Steve, a vain slice of pizza in sunglasses who thinks he is cool; Belly Bag, a talking fanny pack that can produce anything; and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger, a photograph of a tiger that flies. The humour is surreal and random, with episodes that reset, and many short segments and gags. Uncle Grandpa crossed over with Steven Universe in "Say Uncle" (2015). Created by Peter Browngardt, the show ran on Cartoon Network for five seasons from 2013 to 2017.
Uncle Grandpa ending explained
The last episode to air, "Uncle Grandpa: The High School Years" (2017), flashes back to the gang in detention in high school. Bored, they find ways to pass the time, fight, make up and become friends, and Uncle Grandpa suggests they live together in the RV. "Exquisite Grandpa", aired the same day, was produced as the finale. There has been no revival.
