Street Story:
Telly reads about the Furry Four's adventure to Elmo and Abby, who then pretend to be the heroes themselves.
Elmo becomes Furry Flash, Abby the Furry Tornado, and Telly is Mr. Furry.
I'll get to my grievances at the end of this outline review, so please read to the end if you care about that.
María and the kids come in and take Rosita and Zoe away to plant flowers in the garden, thwarting the group's first recruiting attempt.
The chicken leaves them in a huff...
Who was that AM monster that broke his back trying to lift the mailbox?
They finally draft Chris who's a fan of the heroes to be Mr. Furry Muscles...
Why does each episode have to have a song embedded into the storyline? And some of them get annoying quick.
Chris then serves Leela a sandwich while still in character.
Celebrity/Muppets: Chris demonstrates "activate" by pressing different buttons to start up his robot.
Letter of the Day: Murray raps about words starting and then ending in X.
Muppets: Cookie Monster sings about an X-ray, is this one of those Sesame English bits?
AFFS: Colonial Trolliamsburgh.
Okay, so I know this one's a repeat, but it's one of the segments I wanted to see the most because of my memories of having gone to Colonial Williamsburgh back when I was much younger.
Wait, they need help to spot the solution to answer the Bridge Troll's riddle? Good to know that Abby's school is just as bad off as other educational institutions.
And rain just killed the signal...
And now I've got local station promos? ***?
Great, there goes the rest of the episode, replaced by Sid and something else.
