- Big Bird orders a glass of water from David. The glass he's given is too small, so David gives him a bigger glass, then biggest glass in the store. The water turns out to be for Mr. Snuffleupagus. Cartoon The Dog and The Bone. Film - Counting six oryx. Music: Joe Raposo. After a bunch of kids come running by, a girl goes before the man and says it's Saturday. That leaves him to say: "No school."
- "Imagination Rain". Muppets Ernie and Bert- Ernie is planning to go to the library, when he hears on the radio that it might rain. So he gets out his umbrella, and puts on his raincoat, rain hat, and galoshes. Then, in case it floods, he takes a bag of groceries and a life preserver. Finally, he makes Bert go to the library with him, so he won't be stranded in the flood without him.

- 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.

- Topics of Show 26 include the consonant B, the BR blend, and OW as in brown. In this show, Millie the Helper learns about the word "bottle", Mel Mounds and J. Arthur Crank cross paths, Broadway Bob treads the vaudeville stage, and Winnie sings "How is Howard". "Love of Chair" sees the boy taking a step and the last word is "barber".
- Featuring: Luis Avalos, Jim Boyd, Morgan Freeman, Judy Graubart.
- Where's a taxi when you need one? Lee Chamberlin finds out in the episode's opening sketch when she calls for a taxi but ends up getting Morgan Freeman wearing a hat bearing the word "taxi", and he ends up carrying her to her destination - on his back! "Did someone call for a taxi?" asks guest Carol Burnett. The letter T returns as Luis Avalos and Judy Graubart play a game of tic-tac-toe on the wall of their luxurious house... which is covered with tic-tac-toes. Next, Graubart visits Freeman at the lost-and-found to report a missing tot for one last review of the letter T. The next topic is the ending consonant blend FT, featured in the faux game show "I've Got a Secret Sound" in which a panel of four tries to guess the secret sound of Sarah Sanders from Soho (Graubart). Then it's on to the OA team as mother Moreno scolds son Jimmy Boyd for not putting on his coat... even though he's only going to take a shower. Freeman stars in one of his earliest Mad Scientist roles as he creates a "monsteer" (Boyd) that will "stire" the hearts of men and make blood "cure-dle". The monster has to correct him on the "er" sounds, giving viewers a reminder of the sounds of ER, IR, and UR. The ER sound pops up again in the word "slippery", which will hopefully save the Message Man from falling into a mop bucket! The Very Short Book of the day is Humpty Dumpty, who ends up getting turned into scrambled eggs by all the king's horses and men. After that, Crank (Boyd) complains, "I bought me a very short book and the pictures ain't moved even once!" Finally, Love of Chair sees the boy (Skip Hinnant) walk to the door and wind up hitting the wall. Tune in next time as Brenda tells Mark, "It was my fault".
- Today on The Electric Company, Sylvia will learn a lesson about sticks and stones. The ST blend starts off the show as Hattie Winston observes the words "sticks and stones" and recalls the old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!" This proves to be wrong as the words fall down and land on top of her! Luis Avalos also learns about the ST blend as he waits in the customs line at the airport. Will he be first at last? Hopefully Skip Hinnant will have better luck as he stops in at Morgan Freeman's store and asks for train paint, rain stain, and rail paint, all three of which contain the AI sound twice. Hopefully he has enough money for all of that! Then it's the Blue Beetle (Jimmy Boyd) to the rescue to restore rain to an old Western town, but the only person that gets wet is himself as he gets sweaty from all that rain dancing! AI pops up again in one of the series of Sign Song segments all about signs you find indoors, like "Push", "Private", and... "Wet Paint"! After that, it's over to the Very Short Book, and the story of the day is Tom Sawyer. Stephen Gustafson, playing the title role, paints his fence... on an easel. "I think I'll call it 'Fence'," he remarks. The last topic is the consonant Y, making the sound it does in the word "yes", which you'll find in the popular "Yes, My Sweet" animation. Near the end of the show, Judy Graubart gets tangled in yards and yards of yellow yarn. Well, wouldn't you if you had to knit a sweater for a giraffe? Scanimate words include "mist", "train", and "yell". Tune in next time when we'll read this: "Sherlock Holmes found a clue".
- Featuring: Luis Avalos, Jim Boyd, Morgan Freeman, Judy Graubart.
