Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Big Bird greets the viewer as he goes home to his nest. Sonny Friendly, Mr. "Are-we-having-a-nice-day-or-what," pops up at the mention of the word "home" with his traveling game show, "The Home Game!" Sonny will visit several different homes, and whoever has the most interesting home will get to have lunch with him as a prize. Big Bird invites Sonny into his home, eager to win the prize.
 	SCENE 1 	Sonny introduces Big Bird as the first contestant of the Home Game, and Big Bird showcases his nest. Sonny realizes that it doesn't have a door, a window, or a roof, and thus is an interesting home. He climbs into the nest and finds that it's also comfy-cozy. He settles in and tells the viewers to stay tuned for the next featured home, right after these messages...
