Poor Grover...Big Bird was looking into the camera and showing the TV audience about the number 2. Grover is hanging from a wooden bar up on the staircase and demonstrates the number 2 by doing 2 chin-ups. Despite pleas from Grover to finish the demonstration, Big Bird insists on Grover repeating the show 2 or 3 more times. Finally, BB believes that everyone now knows all about the number 2 and now tells the TV audience, "Grover will demonstrate the number 18"!!! Grover faints and is seen laying on his back with the staircase collapsed on top of him.

Didn't they show footage of that one on the movie 'ET?' That does sound familiar.

I never got to see this one, but Oscar did something very similar to Herry Monster in the 1986/1987 Season. Herry was standing in front of Oscar's trash can lifting a Big barbell, and Oscar counted to 10, but he did it very very slowly. Making Herry very exhasted and tired.

Yep. I was wondering how the entire segment went.
