 	COLD OPENING 	What's the Word on the Street?: saddleMeaning: An object to horses
 	STREET STORY 	Telly welcomes the viewer, and reads the headline of Chris' newspaper saying that Chris left his cowboy hat during his trip. Telly puts the cowboy hat on his head and he becomes Cowboy Telly! Yeehaw!Cowboy Telly pretends to ride the range and lassos a "stray doggie," i.e Oscar, who refuses to play along and has him beat it. Instead, Telly continues playing by Oscar's trash can and pretending he's spying on some bad guys. He finds his way on top of the can as if it's a large rock and sits on it, preventing Oscar from opening the lid.After Cowboy Telly gets off of Oscar's can, he comes across Little Bo Peep's sheep (David Rudman, Joey Mazzarino, and Jim Martin) who are fed-up with the fact that she's the one who always gets lost, not them. Telly invites them to play cowboy with him, and they pretend to be cows. Little Bo Beep (Stephanie D'Abruzzo) arrives, but is convinced they are cows and continues looking for her sheep.Telly and Bo try to stop the sheep from acting like cows so they can leave with Mary, but they protest that she stop getting lost. She points out that's how the nursery rhyme goes, so that's how it's supposed to be. Proud of who they are, the sheep accept this and follow her home (almost going in the wrong direction). Chris comes back and finds the cowboy hat is missing. "Where'd the cowboy hat go?" He breaks the fourth wall.

 	Television Parody	Meal or No Meal hosted by Howie EatswellHowie tells contestant Sadie Schwartzbaum that she must choose which dish (out of five) she thinks must have a healthy, delicious meal under the lid. She chooses dish #3, but since this game is won by process of elimination, she has to choose another dish to be revealed. She picks #4, which turns out to be a pack of chewing gum (not a meal). Suddenly, Howie receives a phone call from the baker (silhouetted behind a paper wall), who is offering Sadie a cookie. She turns down the offer, since a cookie is not a meal. She then picks dish #1, which is an ice cream sundae (again, not a meal). The "mystery" baker calls again, and offers Sadie five cookies. She finds this offer hard to turn down, but does so anyway. Sadie picks dish #5, which is a candy bar (still not a meal). Then the baker offers a dozen cookies to Sadie. She turns down the offer yet again, because cookies would spoil her appetite. Now that they're down to two dishes, Howie reveals to the crowd what's under dish #3 (the dish Sadie chose first): a peanut butter sandwich, carrot sticks, an apple and a glass of milk, all of which count as a meal! Then Howie asks to see what's on dish #2, which turns out to be 100 cookies. "Who could eat 100 cookies?" Sadie wonders. The baker can resist no longer, bursts through the screen, eats all the cookies, and steals the button and Howie's cellphone, while Sadie enjoys her meal. Howie cries, "I had a successful run!!"
