Enjoy this outline for Sesame Street 2.0, a fictional Sesame Street series aimed at the older fans.
Scene 1
A grouch salesman in a fedora and trench coat bangs on Oscar's trash can, because he has something to sell him: Onion Ice Cream. Oscar has never had onion-flavored ice cream before and buys some, but after taking a look, sniff, and bite, Oscar concludes that there is no onions in the ice cream. The grouch salesman confirms that, and points out that he never said anything about it being onion-flavored; Onion is merely the name of the ice cream company.
Inserts:
Scene 2
The grouch salesman approaches Grover and asks if he'd be interested in buying a jar of jellybeans. Grover is interested, and the salesman shows Grover the jar of jellybeans. Grover thinks that the jellybeans look delicious and buys the jar. But as soon as the grouch gets Grover's money, he pours all of the jellybeans out of the jar and hands it to Grover. Turns out he's only selling the jar, not the jellybeans.
Inserts:
Scene 3
The grouch salesman comes back to Oscar's can to sell something else. Oscar tells him to go away because he knows it'll be a trick, but the grouch insists it won't be a trick this time. He tells Oscar he has a jar of dirty water, assures Oscar that "Dirty" is not the brand name and that he'll sell the water and the jar for the price of one, and shows the jar of dirty water. Oscar likes how dirty the water looks and buys it. Oscar then pours some out... And it turns out the water is actually clean water, while the jar is tinted yellowish-brown and some other stains were but inside the jar. He had been scammed this time!
Inserts:
Scene 4
Oscar and Grover both complain about how they had been scammed by the same grouch salesman, and realize that they both agree on something (to Grover's delight and Oscar's horror). Oscar suggests they work together to teach that salesman a lesson, while Grover is against it, as he believes revenge is not the answer. Oscar is unhappy that they disagree again, but then comes up with a solution.
Inserts:
Scene 5
The grouch salesman comes back to sell something else to Oscar, jellybeans that had been on the ground. Oscar doesn't believe that the jellybeans had been on the ground and blows a foghorn, which alerts a grouch cop who arrests the grouch salesman for scamming a fellow grouch. The salesman admits to scamming Oscar with ice cream and water, and offers the cop a few jellybeans as a bribe. The grouch comments on how he likes the dirty taste and suggests he sell some, but still arrests him for the previous scams.

always means well while the grouch salesman is doing it intentionally. I get it now. Though Lefty probably could have fit the role of the salesman as well. He's always been sort of a sneak. Anyway, I hope you don't think I sound to critical or anything with my comments. I just thought I'd point out some ideas that run through my head while I'm reading those. Overall, I really enjoy your stories.
