COLD OPEN | Big Bird greets the viewer as he goes home to his nest area, when Sonny Friendly, Mr. "Are-we-having-a-nice-day-or-what", pops up at the word "home" with his traveling game show, "The Home Game." Sonny will visit several different homes, and whoever has the most interesting home will get to have lunch with him! Big Bird invites Sonny into his home, eager to win the prize. | |
SCENE 1 | Sonny introduces Big Bird as the first contestant in the Home Game, and Big Bird showcases his home - a nest. Sonny realizes that it doesn't have a door, a window, or a roof, and thus is an interesting home. He climbs into the nest, and finds that it's also comfy-cozy. He tells the viewers to stay tuned for the next featured home, right after these messages ... | |
