It's a multifamily getaway on the rails in "Murmur on the Ornery Express," the double-episode that finds the kids, parents, and grandparents on board a train with a shadowy thief. When both Grandma's necklace and Chuckie's teddy bear turn up missing, one wonders whether a burglar could have such eclectic taste. The diapered ones solve the smaller mystery, allowing a trench-coated detective to recover the jewelry. In "The Fun Way Day," Chas and Kira's new coffeehouse tanks, so they hire a feng shui expert to change its ambience. Of course the kids misinterpret the Chinese phrase as "fun way" and play with his trinkets once the adults have inevitably left them alone. The result is a predictably catastrophic mess, but also an energy transfer that brings in the customers. Finally, Angelica offers up one of the babies as a play toy to ingratiate herself with some older girls in "Trading Phil." (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
