FRAME 1

"Sesame Street Theme" with Gladys Knight and The Pips. Phil Donahue interviews the cast. Oscar the Grouch, Grundgetta and a few other Grouches complain that there's not enough trash or arguing and too much cooperating. Maria denies this, stating the opposite. She also tells Phil that since Oscar's a Grouch everything on Sesame Street is always too nice for him, but Count von Count agrees with Oscar that Sesame Street is not perfect because there is not enough counting. Ernie tells Phil that his Rubber Duckie wants to say something and is then followed by a Dinger, a Duck and a Honker who all want to say things. Bob then tells Phil that Linda has something to say, and translates her sign language by saying that everybody on Sesame Street really likes kids.
