So halarious wasn't it? Here were some of those I remember.

1. 1 night Telly comes up with the idea what if it remains dark forever?

2. another time there's an eclipse of the moon and this time oscar gives him a real scare that the moon will disappear forever. As the moon gets cover Telly's crying " Oh Good-bye moon!"

3. I can't remember the plot to this one but He's going with a group, don't know if it was the Grouchketeers or what but he's taking to David and says something about being distracted from the event and not being able to worry about stuff. After leaving David says to the audience, " I can't believe it. He's worried about being worried."

I remember seeing an episode back in the day. Telly wants to say "Buenos Dias" to Maria before she goes to work because it's still daytime. But he ends up missing her. He gets all worked up because if he doesn't get to tell her now, he won't see her until nighttime, in which case he'll have to say "Buenas Noches."

He gets Susan to take him all the way across town to see Maria. They finally reach her. Maria is shocked, "You walked all the way over here just to say 'Buenos Dias'???!" Susan says dryly, "No, we took the bus.then we ran."

Later that night, Telly is standing in the street around the apartment buildings. Everyone starts yelling out "Buenas Noches" from the various buildings to get him to go to bed. Telly looks at the screen saying, "I didn't know everyone here spoke Spanish!"

I can think of a few more, but I'll give some other people a chance first!

I do distinctly remember the eclipse episode, with Telly donning a suit of armor for protection in case the worst happens (and a whistle in case he needed to get someone's attention in crisis).

Another one I liked was where I think it was Maria read him an audio book of a storm hitting a farm, which had him in fits until she rewound it to run the storm in reverse and provide some semblance of a happy ending to it.

I remember a couple from the 90s that I liked. One was when Telly got a new pogo stick, and he was so scared of falling off that (I think) he tied pillows to himself, but then he couldn't hold onto the stick and bounce. The other one was when a bunch of muppets were going on a hike and picnic and Telly was afraid of forgetting to bring something. So he packed everything he could think of. except his lunch.

What do you mean by Susan taking him across town? Maria worked with Luis at the fix-it shop before Telly was even on the show.

Yeah I know, I don't remember where she had to go, I just remember it not being the usual place. It was a long time ago now.
