Porky Pig and Daffy Duck venture to the big screen as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot.

There is something so beautiful in a meta sense about Larry going to space in Numb3rs. Because I've seen before actors leave their roles and their characters get killed off in ways that suggests some level of spite. For example, the writers of House said that if Kal Penn had left the show for anything less than working for Obama, they'd have killed his character in the most humiliating way they could think of.

But Peter MacNicol left to do a stint on 24 and his send off on Numb3rs is so beautiful, it still gets me emotional. The characters are all full of love and admiration for Larry. Charlie has a moment where he insists it's not going to happen, that Larry will back out, because deep down, he doesn't want him to go, he's scared something bad will happen. But he ultimately knows he can't kill Larry's dream, that it's a great opportunity and no one should begrudge him that. Charlie even helps him when it seems Larry will be scratched from the mission. Because we support the people we care about, even if we'd rather them not leave us.

Larry gets escorted to NASA by Buzz Aldrin himself. The other characters toast him with milk instead of champagne because of his predilection for white foods. It's so full of love for the character and I can't help but feel it's out of love of Peter MacNicol too. Like they all agreed that this was a great opportunity for him as an actor and weren't going to hold it against him that he took it, even if it meant he had to pause his involvement on their show. And they made it clear, the door would be open when he was ready to come back.

"May the solar winds always be at your back."

This show is so full of love and it's really very special.
