Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Gordon sees Oscar and Irvine listening to Fluffy splashing loudly as she takes her bath. Oscar thinks Irvine would never want a bath, seeing as she's a Grouch baby, but she does show signs of wanting one. Oscar doesn't mind Fluffy taking a bath, because by the time it's over, his trash can will be a mess. He introduces the following segment to show what kind of mess an elephant can make ...
	Film	A film insert about washing elephants at the Bronx Zoo. The song "Splish Splash" is used in part of the segment. (First: Episode 1934)
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Irvine still wants a bath, but Oscar warns her about what a bath involves: getting clean. He introduces another film which illustrates his point ...
	Song	"Rubber Duckie" (film footage of kids taking baths, with Ernie's voice-over).
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Just as Oscar and Gordon think Irvine doesn't want to take a bath anymore, Ernie shows up to give Irvine a few bath toys, including a not-so-fluffy bath towel and a "rubber yucky" which makes a dreadful sound. Irvine wants to take a bath more than ever now, and Oscar laments, "I guess I have to show her more happy campers splashing around and getting clean ..."
	Song	"Let's Go Tubbin' Today" (First: Episode 3024)
	Cartoon	B for bathtub, ball, boat, boot, boomerang, brush and bison (First: Episode 3154)
	Animation	B / b candles (First: Episode 3111)
	Film	B for ball, bat, base and baseball. (First: Episode 3266)
	Muppets	"Bubble on My Snuffle" (First: Episode 3338)
	SCENE 2	Oscar gives it one last shot: he tells bath-hungry Irvine that bubbles come from soap, which makes you clean and smell sweet. Gordon gives her a bar of soap to observe, so that she can see (and smell) how clean it is. The smell makes her sick, and Oscar thinks he has succeeded.
	SCENE 2 cont'd	Just then, Stinky calls Gordon from a restaurant, and requests that Gordon bring him to Oscar's trash can, because he has a surprise for Oscar and Irvine. They both become curious about what it is ...
	Animation	Luxo Sr. examines a box. Luxo Jr. pops out of the box, demonstrating "surprise." (First: Episode 2851)
	Muppets	Cookie Monster does something unexpected by not eating a plate of cookies. Once the audience understands surprise, he then reverts to form and eats the cookies. (First: Episode 3528)
	Film	Wegman's dogs: Rub-a-Dub-Dub (First: Episode 3530)
	Animation	Portraits of kids display the alphabet. Artist: Lisa Crafts (First: Episode 3203)
	Muppets	Monsters in Day Care: Herry Monster talks to kids about putting things away in their cubby holes. Back at Monster Day Care, Herry tells the monster gang about what he learned.
	SCENE 3	Gordon brings Stinky to Oscar's trash can, and before Stinky reveals his surprise, he explains that a while ago, he grew a very smelly flower (as seen in a flashback), which was a major disappointment for him. But then he realized that maybe this smell of his could have some use for grouches, and he ended up authorizing the use of his smell for a new grouch bubble bath, "Bubble Blecch." Oscar and Irvine love the smell of it, and Irvine wants to be bathed in it, so Oscar gives his okay this time.
	Muppets	Baby Bear sings a "scrubby scrubby" song as he takes a bath. As he finishes, he discovers Goldilocks has been in the tub with him breathing from a snorkel. (First: Episode 3594)
	Film	Alphaquest: B (First: Episode 2706)
	Animation	Pencil Box B / b (First: Episode 3040)
	SCENE 4	Ernie, Big Bird and some kids sing "B is for Bubble" with the letter B (Joey Mazzarino).
	Song	Hoots the Owl sings "This Is How We Take a Bath." (First: Episode 3216)
	Muppets / Celebrity	Jim Carrey shows Elmo and Telly how he expresses his emotions - with his feet (in speed-induced footage, no less). (First: Episode 3023)
	Cartoon	The Bellhop must take Mrs. Stein's bags to floor 16. (First: Episode 2496)
	Film	Kids paint a mural of the number 16. (First: Episode 3625)
	Animation	Counting to 16 on quilt patterns (First: Episode 2996)
	Film	Penguins take a bath. Music: Joe Raposo (First: Episode 0233)
	Animation	A string quartet tunes up before it plays "Mary Had a Little Lamb." (First: Episode 3744)
	SCENE 5	Irvine gets in the tub, and Oscar empties all the Bubble Blecch into it. Oscar is having Gordon give her the bath, because Gordon has had more experience giving baths to Miles (and besides, it's better that Gordon suffer while Oscar watches). Irvine enjoys getting scrubbed by Gordon and playing with her Rubber Yucky. Oscar gets splattered with stinky foam and remarks, "Maybe taking a bath isn't so bad after all."
	Muppets	Elmo's World: Jackets (First: Episode 3806)
	SCENE 6	Irvine gets dried off, and Gordon suggests that Oscar might want a bath, but Oscar begs to differ. Gordon announces the sponsors.
