Episode 3231

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN	Telly announces today's sponsors and adds we'll be seeing the cast of "Hey Diddle Diddle." First up is the cat (Joey Mazzarino) who plays the fiddle, who's instead fixated on catching mice.
 	SCENE 1 	The cat explains that he doesn't want to play the fiddle anymore - he wants to chase mice like normal cats do. He can't seem to find any mice anywhere and instead decides to chase Telly (thinking he's a big, purple "mousey" named Bubba), changing his part of the rhyme to suit his new life. A crazy chase ensues between the two around the yard.

 	SCENE 2 	Telly has escaped from the cat and now presents the little dog who laughs and the cow who jumps over the moon. However, the dog (Peter Linz) is crying because the cow (Julianne Buescher) would rather lead the life of a normal cow; Gina stops by to serve her some hay. The cow suggests Telly jump over the moon instead, especially to cheer up the crying dog. Telly tries jumping, but finds it's impossible... unless he had his pogo stick!

 	SCENE 3 	Telly returns bouncing on his pogo stick, determined to jump over the moon for the little dog. With some words of encouragement and a couple of mighty bounces, he ends up crashing on top of the fence instead. The little dog cracks up: "A monster, a pogo stick, a fence - so original!"

 	SCENE 4 	Telly now introduces the dish and the spoon, only the dish (Alison Mork) refuses to go running. She's tired of it and wants to live her life like normal place settings, hoping to get a space on Hooper's Store's outdoor table. The spoon (Don Reardon) suggests Telly join him running instead, but Telly's had it with the uncooperative characters. While the spoon goes off to find a new partner ("There's plenty of dishes in the dishwasher."), Telly gets an idea on how to sort out the problem.

 	SCENE 5 	Telly gathers all the characters and gives an empowering speech (as if he were a preacher) as to how they should stick to who they truly are: "A jumpin' cow is now! And I say a dish that can run is real fun!" With renewed vigor, they perform their nursery rhyme as normal - except for the little dog, who doesn't find the cow's feat as funny as Telly's accident. Telly performs his stunt again as Gina announces the sponsors and the cat plays the closing theme on his fiddle.
