 	SCENE 2 	Partway through the D cartoon, a voiceover (Martin P. Robinson) announces a Monster on the Spot segment with Telly Monster, who reports on the absence of the spider from "Little Miss Muffet." Miss Muffet claims that the spider is always late and can never remember his appointments. She leaves in a huff, and soon after, the French-accented spider arrives, exhausted from a late night building a web. Luis resolves this problem by revising the rhyme to:
:Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
:The spider was late as can be
:He's sorry he blew it
:He did not mean to do it
:Now go back to the film about "d."
As such, the preceding segment resumes.

 	SCENE 3 	The G film is interrupted by another Monster on the Spot report from Telly. He interviews the mouse from "Hickory Dickory Dock," who's ready to run up the clock just like in the rhyme. However, Telly accidentally breaks the clock, and the mouse protests that he can't run up a broken clock ("It's against nursery rhyme union rules!"). The mouse angrily exits, and Luis helps Telly again by changing the rhyme:
:Hickory Dickory dee
:The clock just broke—as you see
:And since the clock's busted
:The mouse got disgusted
:So go back to the film about "g."
Telly thanks Luis and says he should consider a job in the news business, and the previous film concludes.

 	Muppets 	Herry Monster looks for a triangle. He first spots a rectangle. Grover tells Herry it isn't a triangle, and becomes frustrated. Next he spots a square, Grover tells him it isn't a triangle, and once again is frustrated. Grover suggests that Herry should cut the square in half and make two triangles.
 	Cartoon 	A rolling circle becomes a square, then a triangle, and various other shapes.
 	SCENE 4 	Telly gives yet another Monster on the Spot report on Mary and her little lamb. After Telly recites the usual rhyme, the lamb takes the opportunity to promote his autobiography, titled Mary Had a Little Lamb... The Continuing Story. His story picks up right after the rhyme, where he professes that he wants to go to school and become an educated lamb. He graduates, becomes an author and, in his spare time, meets up with Mary for lunch. As Telly wraps up, the lamb (who reveals his real name to be "William F. Lamby") gives away some copies of his book and offers to autograph them. The news announcer reads the sponsors, and the credits roll.
==Notes==
*Additional performers include Camille Bonora (Little Miss Muffet and Mary), Richard Hunt (spider), and David Rudman (mouse).
*During scene 4, Luis claims that Telly didn't interrupt the final insert as he has been doing throughout the episode. This is incorrect, as the animation was cut short for this episode, and has been shown in full for its other airings.
