Inside the Sesame Studio: Numbers

[minor muppetz]

Announcer: Welcome to "Inside the Sesame Studio", where we take a look at the best, the worst, and the mediocre of Sesame Street. Tonight, we will focus on numbers. Tonight's host is The Count.
The Count: Greetings! Welcome to the show! I am the Count. They call me The Count because I love to count things. But numbers are important for everybody, not just me. My friends on Sesame Street count, too. There is no last number, though my friends often stop at 40.

Segments

• Forty Blocks from My Home
• Guy Smiley takes his audience to lunch

The Count: That's forty wonderful people and animals! Do you know what my least favorite number is? It's zero. That's because Zero represents nothing, and there's nothing to count.

Segments

The Count: A number that I like slightly better is the number 1. And here is one wonderful clip!
