 	Cold opening	Wolle is trying to sing the Sesamstrasse theme song, but is interrupted by his boss who tells him that it sounds terrible, and asks Wolle to start the episode. Wolle stops singing and pushes the red button. The episode starts as Wolle hums along to the theme.
 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	Rumpel is just about to finish his latest invention: a "Grouch'o'meter". After he goes to fetch the last screw he is missing, Finchen and Samson come by the machine. They are very curious about what that strange looking machine does. Samson notices there's a scale going from 0 to 59 and a label with a "G", with a pointer that is pointing at the 0. Samson concludes that the "G" stands for grams, so the machine has to be for weighing things to see how heavy they are. They decide to try the machine out by weighing Finchen, but the machine is still showing 0, so maybe Finchen is too light for the machine.
 	Scene 	Samson and Finchen decide to try to see if the machine can weigh a big bear, since apparently a small snail was too small for the machine. Samson jumps up on the machine, but Finchen tells him that according to the machine, he weighs 0 grams. Then Finchen realizes that maybe it's not a machine to measure weight, so what is it for?
 	Scene 	Samson thinks that maybe the "G" stands for "Grad" (degrees), so the machine measures temperatures. Finchen suggest that they make some hot chocolate and try to measure that. While they are making the hot chocolate, Rumpel returns with the screw so he can finish the Grouch'o'meter, then leaves to get some junk so he can test his machine. Samson and Finchen return with the hot chocolate and Samson pours it into the machine, but according to the machine the hot chocolate is 0 degrees. That can't be right; the chocolate is hot, the only explanation is that the machine is not for measuring temperatures, so they decide to take a closer look at the machine.
 	Scene 	Finchen pushes the button and the machine starts to make noise. Finchen concludes that it is a noise machine. Then Rumpel comes back with a cart full of junk. He is upset that they have started his delicate Grouch'o'meter. He then explains to Samson and Finchen that the machine measures how grouchy the junk is, and starts to put various junk into the machine. As Rumpel puts more and more junk into the machine it makes more noise and more smoke, until it explodes. Samson and Finchen think that it's sad that the machine broke down, but Rumpel is delighted. It was supposed to blow up so that it could make a beautiful mess with all the junk inside the machine.
 	Cartoon 	A frog loses its color in the rain.
 	Muppets 	Ernie und Bert Go Music: Ernie and some musicians are talking about their instruments; a flute, clarinet, trombone and Ernie's banana. Bert tries to explain to Ernie that a banana is not an instrument, but Ernie insists on proving it. Ernie starts to play on the banana, first some flute music, then clarinet and finally trombone. Bert is impressed at first, but realizes that the sounds it makes match the other instruments. Ernie then hands Bert the banana, since he and the other musicians are going to play soccer. Bert tries to play on the banana and is surprised that it actually works.
 	Muppets 	Wolle is drinking bottled water when the boss asks him to start the next segment. He lets out a small burp and ducks under the table. The entire screen shakes as he burps again. Afterwards he pops up, says "on with the show!" and pushes the red button.
