Episode 2648

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar is about to drive his Sloppy Jalopy to Grouchytown, and Bob is going to come with him. Luis and Linda warn Bob about going (Luis can be heard commenting, "You will encounter nothing but disillusion, heartbreak..." at the show's opening), but he prefers to be open-minded and see how Grouches live. Bob gets in the jalopy and they look at a route map before they drive off. Oscar tells him to wipe the smile off his face, and he tries his best as they drive off to Grouchytown.

 	SCENE 2 	The jalopy arrives in Grouchytown and Bob is amazed at what he sees. Oscar warns him that Grouchytown is the opposite of Sesame Street, in terms of location, mood, food, and several other things. Bob sees this for himself when a gang of Grouches comes out of hiding and tells him to get lost. They sing a grouchy version of the Sesame Street Theme, which doesn't rhyme. Bob gets up and gets ready to take a picture of the Grouches ("Frown!" he tells them), but they decline and go into hiding.

A grouchy customer (Jim Martin) tells Velma that his toaster has a problem: "It's not dented and bwoken enough!" He gives it to her so she can break it, which she does very loudly.

The specials today are a sardine-blueberry sandwich, a pepper-marshmallow steak, and a tomato surprise (which they're out of). Bob doesn't want to eat anything at first, but Oscar reminds him that trying new foods is a part of the traveling experience. To everyone's surprise, Bob likes the sardine-blueberry sandwich when he tries it! Oscar reassures a distraught Worby, "He's only a tourist here; he doesn't know any better."

Bob knocks on the door and is politely greeted by a bubbly human woman, "Nina the Nice" (Carol Kane). It suddenly dawns on Bob that the nice-human/Grouch ratio here is also the opposite of Sesame Street's. She and Bob sing a syrupy song to the Grouches, "That's How I Know You're Happy," even though the Grouches don't feel that way.
