Sesame Street: The Alphabet Game (1988)

Image	Segment	Description
 	FRAME 1	An off-screen announcer introduces everybody's favorite game show, Alphabet Treasure Hunt, starring Sonny Friendly. He chats with today's contestants: Gary Grouch, Dimples the Dog, and Big Bird, who gives shout-outs to some of his friends. Friendly then explains the rules of the game, which features an electronic letter board that randomly chooses letters. Before the game starts, though, he points out his friend, Kermit the Frog, and leads us to his swamp.

 	FRAME 2	The first letter is B. Dimples bites onto Big Bird, not letting him leave the building to find a B item. Gary (who wants to lose) brings in a trash can, which he plans on using to decorate the place.

However, Dimples pulls off some of Big Bird's feathers, and feathers begins with F. Gary brings in his lunch, and points out that lunch doesn't start with F.
