 * Everybody is supposed to guess Gordon's job by the sound he makes.


 * Sesame Street News Flash: A princess says that the one she has chosen to be her prince has bulgy eyes, small ears, and a funny voice, and is wearing a hat and coat. Kermit the Frog is the only one who fits that description, so she kisses him, thinking he'll become a prince. In a puff of smoke, she turns into a frog.  Kermit invites her to "the hop" and she accepts.


 * Marshal Grover: Grover asks Fred the Wonder Horse why he's walking backwards -- he can only see where he's been, and not where he's going. He also wants to know what happened to Fred's head. Fred explains that Marshal Grover doesn't know the difference between front and back. "That is a terrible, mean, cruel thing to say to me, Fred!" Marshal Grover exclaims. "It is true, but..." Fred tells Grover that he's facing backward, and if he turns around, he'll see Fred's head. Grover turns around, and cries: "Oh, Fred! I've missed you! Oh, it's good to see you!" Fred says that if he stays turned around, he'll be able to see where he's going. Grover tries it, and he's proud to know the difference between front and back. Unfortunately, now his head is resting on the saddle, with his feet in the air.
