Picture Segment Description

COLD OPEN As Big Bird swings on the tire swing in the yard, the camera pans up to the sky as a heroic voiceover (Jim Martin) announces today's sponsors. He then announces the presence of SuperWorm, who flies through the air.

SCENE 1 Oscar learns that SuperWorm is in the area, which worries him because it means that there must be a worm in danger somewhere. Slimey doesn't look like he's in danger as he rests on a chair, but once Savion is about to sit on the chair, it's up to SuperWorm to save Slimey from getting sat upon. He swoops down and successfully does so, taking Savion by surprise. Oscar rushes in to inform him how Slimey was in danger of being squished, and Savion apologizes.
