- Big Bird is very impressed with what he read about the rooster. Like the rooster, he wants to shout "Cock-a-doodle-doo" every morning and wake up the whole neighborhood. Susan agrees to let him try by waking her at 8 o'clock the following morning.
- It's 3:00am, but Big Bird can't read the clock. He waits until it rungs three times and tries to count along to see if it's 8 o'clock. Not sure, he shouts his rooster call to wake Susan (and the whole neighborhood). He makes the same mistake at 5:00am. Finally, he sleeps through 8 o'clock, and Susan wakes him so that he can proudly crow.
- Ernie and Bert play basketball.
- David is fixing some toys, and asks the kids to help him match the proper missing parts to the toys which they complete.
- Ernie and Bert: Ernie tries to put a pot on Bert's head. Bert asks Ernie why he is doing that, and Ernie says that he broke a cookie jar, and keeps having to find different uses for things, and eventually having to put fish in Bert's favorite cowboy hat, and if Bert wants to play cowboy, he has to wear the pot on his head.
- James Earl Jones recites the alphabet. (EKA: Episode 0002)
- Susan shows some kids two balls and two stuffed animals, and asks how they are alike and how they are different.
- The Amazing Mumford begins his magic subtraction trick with four pineapples, and makes them disappear one at a time. Then Grover makes Mumford disappear.
- Tom sings "If You're Happy and You Know It" at regular volume, quietly, and loudly.
- Bob tells the story of a mother who had a loud child (who screamed all the time) and a quiet child (who whispered all the time).
- David asks nine kids to count off.
