Episode 1855

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria stumbles upon a demonstration held by Oscar, Grundgetta, and their fellow Grouches (Martin P. Robinson, Ed Christie, and Richard Hunt), protesting the letter M. They despise such words as "marvelous," "merry" and "melt in your mouth marshmallows." "Aria" (as they call her) points out that without the letter M, the Grouches couldn't have one of their favorite things - mud. The Grouches switch gears and start protesting the letter T instead, simply because they like protesting. Maria quietly comments to the viewer that she'll avoid telling them another of their favorite words (trash) also begins with T.
