Episode 1486

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar has assembled an audience of Gordon, Susan and the kids to judge his "Oscar the Grouch Look-a-Like Contest." Three Grouches, including Osvaldo, el Gruñón, are assembled and they compare how they look to Oscar. Osvaldo resembles Oscar the most, so the judges suggest he be the winner. Oscar, however, assumes the role as entry #4 and declares himself the winner, since no one looks more like him than himself. The adults and kids all leave, while the Grouches revel in the trick. Osvaldo suggests next week, they pull it again with his own look-a-like contest.
