 	SCENE 1 	Mr. Handford and Susan welcome the viewer from Hooper's Store, about to tune in to today's edition of the Sally Messy Yuckyael show. Oscar, Baby Bear, and Goldilocks will be the guests, and Susan comments on how grouchy Baby Bear tends to get whenever Goldilocks is involved.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	As the program begins, Sally introduces her guests, whom Oscar believes are perfect for the Grouch audience (which includes Grundgetta). He claims the fairy tale stars can never be friends because Goldilocks is always making Baby Bear angry. To prove it, he's brought along a copy of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to show how their troubled relationship began. He begins reading, and by the time he reaches the section where Goldilocks samples the porridge, Baby Bear is very angry. Oscar happily teases there's more to come in the story, so Sally throws the program to a commercial break.

Baby Bear defers to her, and they start arguing over who will let the other one say it. Susan thinks someone better do it, so she goes ahead with it.
