Dec 15th episode (If you missed it!)



Aloysius Snuffleupagus wrote a story and wanted to read it to his sister, Alice Snuffleupagus and Bob. The story title was 'Are You My Brother?'. The story begins with Chapter 1 where little Snuffleupagus went around looking for her brother. Along came this bumblebee (played by Bob). Little Snuffleupagus goes up to him saying, 'Brother, brother!' But the bumblebee says he's not her brother because her brother wouldn't have wings and have furry legs. But the bumblebee has wings and no furry legs therefore he is not little Snuffleupagus's brother. He sings a song about Bumblebee while sad little Snuffleupagus goes away.

Grover asks Jordan (a little boy) if he could recite the alphabet. Jordan sings it for Grover and when he has finished, Grover says, 'Excellent, now how about a hug?' They hug and Grover says, 'Ooh! I love an alphabet hug!'

Chapter 2 of Snuffy's book begins where little Snuffleupagus meets a spider. It has furry legs and no wings. Little Snuffleupagus goes up to it and calls it 'Brother'. But the spider says that he is not her brother because he has eight legs but little Snuffleupagus has only 4. Also little Snuffleupagus's brother would be like her: brown, shaggy with a long snuffle. The spider starts to sing the Itsy-Bitsy-Spider song and sad little Snuffleupagus walks away.

Bert is cleaning up the house when Ernie comes by. Ernie comments on what a good job Bert is doing on cleaning the house and Bert explains that his twin brother, Bart is coming for a visit. Bert finishes cleaning the table and goes into the room to change. He asks Ernie to open the door for Bart when he comes. But Ernie doesn't know what Bart looks like. Bert explains Bart looks identical to him. Ernie understood and said, 'So he looks like you. He has a pointy head, bushy bushy clump of hair, beady eyes, sticky ears, a cucumbery nose and floppy arms, huh?' Bert gets a little irritated at the way Ernie describes him so he rebutts, 'Yah, he looks as handsome as I do'. With that he goes into the room to change. Bart knocks on the door and Ernie opens it. Bart looks exactly like Bert with his 'pointy head, bushy bushy clump of hair, beady eyes, sticky ears, a cucumbery nose and floppy arms'. Bart is so different in character. He cracks some crappy jokes and laughs in a funny way like 'Hyah hyah hyah'. Bart looks for Bert and when Ernie says he's in the room, Bart gives Ernie a hard slap on the back saying 'See ya later, pal.'

Chapter 3 of Snuffy's book begins with Little Snuffleupagus meeting Big Bird who's looking for his sister. Little Snuffleupagus calls Big Bird 'Brother' but Big Bird tells her that he is not her brother and her sister is tall, skinny and yellow not brown short and shaggy. Along comes a banana and Big Bird calls him 'Sister'. The banana explains that he has no feathers so he can't be Big Bird's sister. Big Bird goes away. The banana sings Little Snuffleupagus a banana song but sad little Snuffleupagus walks away, looking for her brother.

Rosita, Zoe, Elmo and Telly are the Super Morphin Mega Monsters. A little boy and girl found a truck by the roadside and started playing with it. An evil Muppet (couldn't hear his name properly) sends down two of his evil helpers to make them quarrel over the truck. The two children started to quarrel and the Super Morphin Mega Monsters come along. They tell them not to quarrel because firstly, it is not fun and fun is what they want, and secondly, they are not playing but their main motive was to play. So the girl asks what they could do. Rosita tells them to take turns. They took turns playing with it and had so much fun that they decided to go play on the slide next. The truck was left with the Super Morphin Mega Monsters and they started to play with it, taking turns with it. (Talk about practising what you preach.)

The last Chapter of Snuffy's book tells us that Little Snuffleupagus found someone that is brown, shaggy, with 4 legs and a long snuffle. She calls him 'Brother' but he tells her that he is actually her cousin Lou. Little Snuffleupagus is sad again when her brother appeared. And they lived happily ever after.

The How Now Brown and the Moo Wave sings a song called: Danger's no Stranger.

Oscar is trying to sleep so he hangs a sign 'Don't Bother Me' on his can. Along came a postman (played by Rosie O'Donnell) who knocks on Oscars can. Oscar opens up the cover furiously asking whether the postman could read. She replies, 'Can I read, can I read?' And she starts reading everything from newspaper to her clothes and shopping list to Oscar. Finally, Oscar asks her 'Ok I get the point but read this!' and points to the sign. She reads it and says 'Fine I'm sorry. I guess I have to ask someone else where Oscar the Grouch lives so I can deliver this package to him.' She walks away while Oscar calls after her. Frustrated, Oscar takes down the sign and tears it up.

Herry Monster and this girl muppet sings a song about singing.

Snuffy wants to put up a play on his book and suggests that Alice be the Little Snuffleupagus and Bob be the bumblebee, spider, banana and Cousin Lou.
