SCENE 1 | Big Bird greets the viewer and gives them clues about who he's playing with today. It's not Bob, Elmo or Mr. Snuffleupagus - it's Radar, or rather "Super Radar." Big Bird pretends Super Radar is flying, accidentally letting go and sending him flying across the way. Barkley, in the midst of a game of fetch with Linda, rushes over and grabs Radar. Linda and Big Bird order Barkley to drop him, and Barkley accidentally tears him. Big Bird is crestfallen. |
