Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	Big Bird and Snuffy announce today's sponsors, and explain why they each have a goodie basket and are dressed in capes: today is "Grandma's Day," the day where they dress up like Little Red Riding Hood and visit their grandmothers to give them goodie baskets. Big Bird acknowledges how one of today's letters - G - starts the word "Grandma." ("Lucky it's not "C"; I'd have to visit my cousin... he's got chicken pox.")
	SCENE 1	Gina finishes packing up Big Bird's goodie basket with supplies from Hooper's Store. She, Maria, Luis, and Gordon all agree that grandmothers are great, and sing a song about it with Big Bird and Snuffy. After the song, Big Bird points out that grandpas are also great.
