COLD OPEN | 10th Season Intro Still | |
SCENE 1 | After doing some cleaning in the basement of 123 Sesame Street, Gordon goes over to the garage to clean there as well. Mr. Hooper, Bob, and Olivia follow, having also stored some items inside. They're all shocked when they see the giant mess inside and argue over how it got to be this way. Big Bird enters amid the chaos and blares a bugle to get everyone's attention. Once everything calms down he suggests they all cooperate in cleaning instead of arguing and picking out their individual items. They compliment Big Bird's brilliance and get to work. | |
