Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	The scene begins with a logo: the words "Telly's Town" take up the screen, as a rainbow trail rotates behind them. Telly chants, "Telly's Town! Telly's Town! Music time! Excellent!" and mimics a guitar solo. Telly invites Big Bird to join him in his "totally amazing, excellent music video show." Big Bird tries doing what Telly did at the beginning to get the vibe and succeeds. Telly explains that the show's vocabulary consists of terms like "cool," "excellent," "hey dude," and of course "excellent."
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird (now using a pillow as a pretend drum) wonders if all they do on the show is say its name, but Telly explains that they'll have excellent videos and live musical guests. He then announces today's guests: the Four Tuba Guys! He and Big Bird perform the show's theme as a fanfare.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	The Four Tuba Guys (the only rock and roll tuba group to exist) don't show up, but instead Telly and Big Bird find themselves face to face with a deliveryman, Wayne (Mike Myers). Wayne has a telegram from the Four Tuba Guys, which Telly is dying to hear. Before he reads it, however, Wayne makes a long speech about how excellent it is that there is such a thing as reading. The telegram from the band says their plane has been delayed, and they will now be traveling by train.

 	SCENE 2cont'd 	Wayne arrives with another telegram from the Four Tuba Guys... but not without giving another heartfelt speech on the importance of reading: "Reading is excellent. I've found in my own limited and ecclesiastic studies that without reading, I wouldn't be able to read this telegram, or Shakespeare, or Ibsen..." Telly cuts him off so he can read the telegram, which says that the band is now taking a bus instead of a train. Telly, feeling bummed but knowing the show must go on, introduces the next video that rated high on the "excell-ometer."

 	SCENE 3cont'd 	Wayne shows up with yet another telegram from the Four Tuba Guys, and yet another speech on the importance of reading - but Telly knows his modus operandi by now and just begs to hear the telegram. It says the band's bus broke down, and now they're walking to the show. Wayne laments, "Well, the telegram is read and it looks like my work here is done... I promised myself I wouldn't cry... I love you all!" and darts off. Telly and Big Bird segue into the next video.

 	SCENE 4 	Back on "Telly's Town," Telly is worried about the Four Tuba Guys when Wayne comes back to deliver each of the group's four tubas - and a telegram from the band, who became too tired from walking and can't make it.
 	SCENE 4cont'd 	Big Bird calls for an extreme close-up on Telly as he panics, but as it turns out, Wayne plays the tuba himself ("This telegram gig is just a stopover on my way to stardom! I'm gonna be the best ever heavy metal tuba guy in the world!"). He even brought a couple of his tuba-playing friends: a Garth-esque green monster with glasses (Joey Mazzarino), and Slimey. That only makes up three players, but if they add Telly to the group, they can be four tuba guys themselves! Big Bird gives the group an introduction and they all play the Sesame Street Theme, with Wayne performing an impressive tuba solo. Big Bird announces the sponsors.
