Telly announces today's sponsors and adds we'll be seeing the cast of "Hey Diddle Diddle." First up is the cat who plays the fiddle, who's instead fixated on catching mice. | |||
The cat can't seem to find any mice anywhere and instead chases Telly (think he's a big, purple mouse). | |||
Ruthie sets up a display at Finders Keepers of "The King of Counting" memorabilia. The Count is impressed and Ruthie explains to him and Maria that she used to be a friend of his. In a flashback, he see the King (played by the Count) singing "You Gotta Count My Blue Suede Shoes." | |||
Big Bird appears in a disguise, representing the letter D. (EKA: Episode 3188) | |||

Telly has escaped from the cat and now presents the little dog who laughs and the cow who jumps over the moon. However, the dog is crying because the cow would rather lead the life of a normal cow. Gina serves her some hay. The cow suggests Telly jump over the moon instead, especially to cheer up the crying dog. Telly tries jumping, but finds it's impossible...unless if he had his pogo stick. | |||
Telly returns bouncing on his pogo stick and with a mighty bounce, he ends up crashing on top of the fence instead. The little dog cracks up ("A monster, a pogo stick, a fence, so original!") | |||
Telly now introduces the dish and the spoon, only the dish refuses to go running. She's tried of it and wants to live her life like normal place settings. The spoon suggests Telly join instead, but Telly's had it with the uncooperative characters. While the spoon goes off to find a new partner ("There's plenty of dishes in the dishwasher."), Telly gets an idea on how to sort out the problem. | |||
Telly gathers all the characters and gives an empowering speech as to how they should truck to who they truly are. They perform their nursery rhyme as normal, except for the little dog, who doesn't find the cow's feat as funny as Telly's accident. Telly performs his stunt again as Gina announces the sponsors. | |||
