Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street while he waits for his best friend Baby Bear to return from his grandma's -- he hasn't seen him in a long time! Just then, Baby Bear sneaks up behind Telly and covers his eyes, and they reunite. Telly points out that Baby Bear's hair seems to be longer than usual. Baby Bear admits that his long hair is kind of bothersome, but when Telly suggests he get a haircut, Baby Bear declines, because he's never had a haircut before.

Telly reassures him that he's had haircuts before, and they didn't hurt. Papa tells Baby Bear that he doesn't have to get a haircut if he doesn't want one, but he can come with Papa to the Barber Shop and watch him get a haircut - his hair has grown out too!
