Episode 2910

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	A strange little bug crawls across a crate in the yard. Roxie Marie tells Elmo to get out of her way when they both rush in, as she wants to follow the bug: "It's a real Doozie!" Elmo wants to help her chase the Doozie bug, but she doesn't want him to get in her way. He promises not to, but it's a difficult promise to keep...
 	SCENE 1 	Roxie has set out some books, one of which she hopes will have information about the Doozie bug. Maria points out that some bugs are dangerous, which Roxie is already aware of. They go through the stack of books, including one called Bugs, a Rabbit to Remember! (Roxie: "Hey, that's the wrong Bugs! How'd that get in there?") when they get to the last one in the stack: All About Bugs. Roxie learns that the Doozie bug is a non-dangerous creature with seven legs, lives only on Sesame Street, uses a pogo stick to get around, wears a feathery hat, and whistles through its nose. Its favorite food is corn on the cob, and its hobbies are building with blocks, using a typewriter, and playing the guitar. Just then, they spot the very bug they've been reading about, and Roxie struggles to get Elmo out of her way so she can chase it.

 	SCENE 2 	Roxie lets Elmo borrow her bug net, but makes it clear that the bug she's going after belongs to her, not Elmo. After she goes away, Elmo hears the sounds of typing on a typewriter and guitar playing. He also spots a stack of giant blocks in the yard. He remembers that the Doozie bug likes all of these things so he rushes over, thinking the bug is there. Instead of catching the bug, he learns that the blocks belong to Telly, Luis was playing the guitar, and Gordon was using a typewriter. Just then, Roxie spots the bug and tells Elmo to give her the net, but he's looking in the wrong direction for it...

She thinks she has succeeded in trapping the bug when she hears the associated noises, but finds it was Elmo who fell into the trap (he wanted to see what it felt like to be a bug). Suddenly, they hear the same noises and see the Doozie bug, who asks for more corn. Roxie quickly throws her net over the bug, who remarks, "I am not amused..."
