Episode 3090

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Elmo, Rosita, and the Count are expecting it to rain today. They explain to Savion why they're looking forward to it: the Count is going to count the raindrops. He's tried to in the past, but hasn't gone higher than 6,349. He thinks he'll be able to count higher today since he's planned for the conditions, as Rosita will hold an umbrella over him and Elmo will fan him in case he gets too warm. Plus, he'll be able to use his "two-handed technique" of counting instead of just one so he can do it twice as fast. It starts raining slowly, and the Count starts counting.
 	SCENE 1 	The Count reaches 19,788 raindrops until he loses count. He feels like a failure and never wants to count again, but his friends try to talk him out of his misery by pointing out that he's counted more raindrops than anyone has ever counted before. The Count feels better about counting again, and Savion welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street.

"That is unfair to counting-type persons," the Count says before deciding instead to count the pages in every book, but Lisa points out that the pages in each book are numbered.

He becomes disappointed until Linda brings him to a special section with books about numbers and counting, and he feels much better.
