- Telly has been instructed by Oscar, as a part of his Grouchketeer duty, to learn the word printed on his sign - "NO." Telly doesn't know what the word means and becomes frustrated by Maria, Olivia and Bob's responses (thinking they're telling him "No" in response to his question). When Oscar asks if he's learned the word yet, Telly sadly admits, "No." Oscar gives him his approval, leaving Telly befuddled.
- As Sesame Street begins another year, we find Count von Count up on the street lamppost, counting all the lights on the street as they come on. Later that night, he counts them again going out. He ignores Luis's advice to go home to bed- he wants to sleep on the lamppost so he can count that light going off in the morning. Also on the street that day, the cast sings about a song which they can't seem to figure out the name of. While all this is going on, a cartoon man talks about how the letter E begins the words "enter" and "exit". In his elementary school, Roosevelt Franklin teaches his class about Africa, showing them that there's more to the continent than just jungles. Ernie gets overly emotional during a movie, which subsequently gets Bert in trouble with the other viewers in the theater. Beetle Bailey tries to figure out a way to be first in line for chow, while Kermit and Farmer Grover demonstrate how one uses a horse-and-cart. Three pencils dancing the Rumba show first, last, and Crazy Melvin (don't ask!). Finally, a tree frog struggles to make it to the top of his tree (it's a long, hard climb, but he'll get there). The sponsors today are the letter E and the number 2.

Meanwhile, a cow dog sings a song about his job, while practical joker Harvey Kneeslapper is up to another of his tricks, this one involving a pogo stick. Kermit reports on yet another fast-breaking news story, this one involving the putting together of Humpty Dumpty. Judy Collins sings about the life of a fisherman, and Herry and his friend John-John demonstrate the difference between loud and soft. There are a few memorable cartoons in this as well. A boy talks about the "zoo" inside of him, an old woman sets up a picnic of P foods, unaware of the activity displayed by the ants, and a disembodied hand draws a telephone booth, which a man doesn't reach in time to answer the ringing phone.

Due to the noise level, he isn't able to tend his shop at peace. So he announces that his shop will remain closed for the day while he takes a peaceful break at the park. Gordon, Susan, and Bob didn't want the local neighborhood shop closed, so Gordon suggests to Mr. Hooper that he, Bob, and Susan can run the shop during Hooper's day off. Mr. Hooper didn't object to the idea as long as it means he can spend time at a park that is far away from the construction. As the three substitute clerks reopen the shop, each of them had a different way of running things. Which lead to the decision of having Gordon, Bob, and Susan take turns as the clerk of the shop.

- The third episode of The Electric Company starts out with the short vowel U as Morgan Freeman and assistant Stephen Gustafson spell out three words containing a U in the middle - fun, bun, and but. Rita Moreno then chimes in with four more - bus, bug, tug, and tub, all four of which she writes on a bus stop sign. She later sings the song "Unbutton Your Heart", a lovelorn rock song filled with "un" words like "unkind" and "unzip". Skip Hinnant's character Norman Neat, Man on the Street makes his very first appearance (his first four, in fact!) interviewing passersby about their favorite words. Another first: John and Faith Hubley's cartoon "True Blue Sue" makes its debut to introduce the topic UE to the show. Freeman shows up with another UE word: "glue", in big white letters which he glues to the wall. But perhaps he was a little careless with the glue - he winds up with his hands stuck to his workbench! Next, Freeman and Hinnant don sweaters with letters and recite a short poem about the letters Q and U. The QU sound returns in a game show setting - Wild Guess, featuring announcer Ken Kane (Bill Cosby) and host Bess West (Rita Moreno). Following that is more of the letter U, albeit its long sound, found in words like "dude" and "cute". You'll hear plenty of those kinds of words in the song "An E on the End", which introduces The Electric Company to one of its most popular topics - Silent E. While Tom Lehrer's famous song doesn't show up in this episode, two other famous animations do - one sees the Blond-Haired Cartoon Man (voiced by Mel Brooks) perform his "I am Cute Very" routine ("Who's the dummy writing this show?") and the other tells the story of a talking dog named Spot. Scanimate words include "pup" and "quake" and the last word is "quiet".
