Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Gina highlights some of what the viewer will be seeing today, while an anxious Telly waits to make his own announcement: he'll be having a playdate today... only he doesn't know with who. Gina tries to calm down his nerves by telling him to listen to the opening theme.
 	SCENE 1 	Telly continues to wonder who will be his playdate when he finds himself on Sonny Friendly's "Playdating Game." Gina questions the legitimacy of Sonny's latest game, but then sees no possible bad outcome and Telly gets to play. He puts on a blindfold and questions two potential playdates, finding he has something in common with each of them: one kid (Jim Martin) enjoys tuba music, while the other (Camille Bonora) loves triangles. Telly can't decide who he would prefer playing with, and by the time he makes a decision, the two candidates have gone off to play with each other instead. Sonny declines Telly's playdate invite, having to leave for lunch with his agent.
