COLD OPEN | To introduce the theme of bowling, Rudy imitates what it is like to bowl. |
 |
SCENE 1 | Elmo, Rudy, and Charlie sit on the stairs thinking about a bowling trip they just got back from. Rudy wishes the bowling alley were closer, so he could bowl all the time. Elmo then wonders if there is a way to bowl on Sesame Street... |
   |
SCENE 1 (cont'd) | He decides to make a bowling alley out of everyday things. They decide to use pool noodles as lanes, a foam ball as the bowling ball, and empty bottles as pins. They sing a song about the building process. Elmo mentions that it is difficult, to which Rudy says he wishes he had more arms. Then, an octopus shows up to help. They continue the song and Rudy knocks down a pin. |
  |
SCENE 1 (cont'd) | Elmo is happy with the alley, but wishes he had another team. Conveniently, the T-Rexes (a bowling team) show up and would love to compete with them, so long as they aren't nervous. Elmo, Charlie, and Rudy deny being nervous despite the fact that Rudy is. One of the T-Rexes asks who will keep score and The Count gladly takes the job. The game begins... |
   |
SCENE 1 (cont'd) | After a slow-mo montage of the teams knocking down pins, the T-Rexes are winning 29-13. It's Elmo's turn, and he gets three more points for his team, but they're still thirteen points behind and the T-Rexes doubt the possibility of them winning. Another slow-mo montage plays, this time, the T-Rexes are getting fewer points than their last turns. The score is now 29-20; if Rudy can get a strike, then they win the whole game. |
 |
SCENE 1 (cont'd) | Rudy is successful! He gets the strike and wins the game. The T-Rexes congratulate Elmo's team, saying they've never knocked down all the pins before. They decide to play again. |

Muppets | Super Grover 2.0 An octopus and shrimp have a hard time bowling when their pins keep floating away. In a scuba suit, Super Grover 2.0 dives deep to help them out. He pulls some fruits from his utility sock and makes some hypotheses as to whether they will float or sink. When they fail, he finds nothing else but the bricks keeping him submerged. The bricks turn out to make the perfect pins, so the creatures keep playing as Grover floats to the ocean surface. (shortened intro) (First: Episode 4519) |
