I hope you enjoy the following story. Think of it as a regular episode plot in the current format.

The Cartoons Come To Sesame Street

it was just another ordinary day on Sesame Street. Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Elmo were playing outside all morning when they started to get hungry and thirsty. So they decided to go to Hoopers Store. Big Bird ordered a birdseed milkshake, Cookie Monster ordered a glass of cookie juice, and Elmo ordered Grape Juice. Alan opened a cabnet for some glasses when out popped Teeny Little Superguy, and his opening song started playing from out of nowhere. he told everybody about himself, and they exchanged greetings when suddenly Super Grover walked into Hoopers Store, wanting a hot dog and some chips. he asked teeny Little Superguy "who are you?", and he said, "I'm teeny little superguy". grover said, "No, you can't be super. you are on a glass, and you are so small". teeny Little Superguy added, "you can't tell a hero by his size, i'm just a teeny little superguy, oh yeah!".

Just then, Suzie Kabloozy and her cat, feif (I think thats the spelling) came into Hoopers Store to buy some food for a picnic. Everybody in the store (except for Alan, who had to work all day) asked if they could come, and Susie kabloozy said, "sure, and bring some food and plenty of friends. The partys at twelve o'clock".

They started to go get ready for the picnic. Cookie Monster came home to get some cookies for the picnic, Elmo went to bring Dorthy and some peanut butter sandwhiches (No, elmo doesn't plan on eating dorthy), and Big Bird was going to tell people about his party.

He walkd over to Oscars can to invite Oscar. oscar said, "No!'. At that moment, the Alligator King arrived and asked big bird and Oscar if eithe rof them had seen his seven sons, who were missing. they said they haven't, but Big Bird invited the alligator King to the picnic at 12:00. The King said that he will come if he finds his sons. The Alligator King then found the Count, and asked the count if he had seen seven little alligators. The Count said, "No, but I hope to". The Count walked over to the mail-it shop to count mail when he saw some alligator children. he counted the alligators: "one, one alligator. Two, two alligators, Three, three alligators, four, four alligators, six, six alligators, seven, seven wonderful alligators, ah ah ah!", and then thunder and lightening striked briefly. The count brought them to the alligator king, whi was so greatful that he told the count about the picnic. The count set his watch to alarm at twelve o'clock.

Cookie Monster had packed some cookies and started to tell his monster friends about it when he ran into the monster who ate the television set. Cookie Monster told the monster about the picnic, and the monster brought along a Tv set. Cookie Monster then sang a special song, "Television Sets Are a Sometimes Food".

The Count went out to invite as many people as possible to the party so that he could have as many people as possible to count at the picnic when his watch went off (and made the counting music from the Pinball Number Count animations). he went to the picnic at the park, where he counted 12 ladybugs (from the ladybug picnic). he was then joined by as many people as possible: among the muppets were Big Bird (who brought birdseed), mr. Snuffleupagus and Alice Snuffleupagus (who brought cabbage and spaghetti), Elmo, Cookie Monster, Herry Monster, prarie dawn, Bert (who brought some oatmeal), Ernie (who brought a pizza), lefty (who brought an invisible ice cream cone), and Rosita (who brought some mexican baked beans). Among the cartoon characters were Suzie Kabloozy, Feif, The Alligator king and his seven sons, the Martian Beauty, King Minus, Teeny Little Superguy, The King of Eight, the Queen of Six, cecile, and the boy from the "Loaf of bread, quart of milk, gallong of butter" sketch, with the food he was supposed to get in that skit. And out of the humans who came were Susan, Gordon, Miles, maria, Luis, Gabbi, Gina, and Bob.

Just then, Fat Blue came for some food when he saw grover. "Oh, No! It's you! oh, don't tell me you're serving the food here...", but grover asured him that he was just there for the picnic.

After everyone was done eating, Zoe arrived in her zoemobile and asked if anybody wanted to have a car race, so everybody got in their cars (the count got in his count mobile) and they, along with the race car drivers from the jazzy spies skits, drove off. Afterwardsm it staretd to rain hard, so Oscar decided to have a picnic, and he invited Slimey, grungetta, irvine, his elephants, and three grouches.

The End. What does everybody think?

A few things to think about

There are a few things that i didn't think about when writing this story. I wonder if any of you noticed.

First if all, Alan couldn't go to the picnic because he had to work, but everybody who is known for working at the mail-it shop (Maria, Luis, and grover) was able to come.

I didn't include baby bear or his family at the picnic. They could have brought some pouridge.

I hardly specifically mentioned any food that was brought in by the cartoon characters. I think that The king of 8 would have brought 8 of something, the queen of 6 would have brought six of something, and the martian beauty would have brought nine of something.

I mentioned that lefty was there. Could he have tried to sell something to ernie and told him about the picnic? Could ernie have told him about the picnic when trying to sell him something? Could he or anybody else who came to the picnic have been there becasue he was trying to sell something?

let me know what you think. it's okay if you don't like it. I realise that this is a little more serious than the outlines that I have written.

I think you have some great comedic ideas, but it would be a thousand and a half times better with some more descriptions and dialogue. What you have now passes for outlines, but for stories it comes off as being a little forced. It has great potential, it just needs a little elaboration.

More of a story would be nice. It just seems like an outline as said before. More meat in the story would make it a thousand percent more interesting. What happens at the picnic. What are they doing it for? Is there anything that gets in their way. you need more conflict.
