Ep 2. Episode 2

Episode 2 of Sesame Street's first season introduces viewers to several letters of the alphabet, including A, B, and C. The episode is structured around a game show called "The Alphabet Game," hosted by Guy Smiley, in which contestants must identify different letters.

The episode starts with Gordon reading a storybook to Big Bird and Susan. The story is about a boy who loves the letter "B" so much that he eats all the "Big B" letters he can find. Big Bird is worried that the boy might come and eat all the "Big B" letters on Sesame Street, but Gordon reassures him that they have plenty.

After the story, Gordon introduces the Alphabet Game to the group. The first contestant is Herry Monster, who is shown a letter and must identify it. He correctly identifies the letter "A," and the group cheers for him.

The next segment shows a group of kids playing with balloons in the park. They use the balloons to form different letters and spell out words. Maria, one of the adults on Sesame Street, explains to the kids that letters make up words, and words make up stories.

Back on the show, Guy Smiley introduces the next contestant, Cookie Monster. Guy shows Cookie Monster the letter "B" and asks him to say the sound it makes. Cookie Monster responds with a loud "B," causing all the balloons in the studio to pop. Despite the disruption, Cookie Monster successfully identifies the letter.

The next segment focuses on the letter "C," with a song performed by two Muppet characters named Anything and Everything. The song highlights different objects and actions that start with the letter "C," such as cats, cookies, and clapping.

Back on the show, Guy introduces the next contestant, Grover. Guy shows Grover the letter "C" and asks him to identify it. Grover struggles with the question, mistaking the letter for an "O" or a "Q." Eventually, he figures it out and correctly identifies the letter.

The final segment features a group of kids singing a song called "How do you get to Sesame Street?" The song encourages viewers to use their imagination to travel to Sesame Street, a place where friendships are made and learning is fun.

The episode ends with Gordon reminding viewers that every letter has its own sound and that learning letters is important for reading and writing. He then says goodbye to the audience, and the credits roll.

Overall, Sesame Street Season 1 Episode 2 is a fun and engaging introduction to the alphabet. Through games, songs, and storytelling, viewers are encouraged to learn letters and their sounds. The episode features a diverse cast of characters, and the inclusion of different activities and settings keeps things interesting.
