 	Muppets 	Marshal Grover asks Fred the Wonder Horse why he's walking backwards -- he can only see where he's been, and not where he's going. He also wants to know what happened to Fred's head. Fred explains that Marshal Grover doesn't know the difference between front and back. "That is a terrible, mean, cruel thing to say to me, Fred!" Marshal Grover exclaims. "It is true, but..." Fred tells Grover that he's facing backward, and if he turns around, he'll see Fred's head. Grover turns around, and cries: "Oh, Fred! I've missed you! Oh, it's good to see you!" Fred says that if he stays turned around, he'll be able to see where he's going. Grover tries it, and he's proud to know the difference between front and back. Unfortunately, now his head is resting on the saddle, with his feet in the air.

He wants to be “it” so he’ll get to count to 10 (while the others run around), but Big Bird is “it” right now. Eventually, the Count gets his turn to be blindfolded, but he counts up to 20, claiming it will give the others a better chance to hide. However, since he is "it," he feels he should be the one who knows when to stop counting, so he continues as the others wait.
