As Sesame Street begins another year, we find Count von Count up on the street lamppost, counting all the lights on the street as they come on. Later that night, he counts them again going out. He ignores Luis's advice to go home to bed- he wants to sleep on the lamppost so he can count that light going off in the morning. Also on the street that day, the cast sings about a song which they can't seem to figure out the name of. While all this is going on, a cartoon man talks about how the letter E begins the words "enter" and "exit". In his elementary school, Roosevelt Franklin teaches his class about Africa, showing them that there's more to the continent than just jungles. Ernie gets overly emotional during a movie, which subsequently gets Bert in trouble with the other viewers in the theater. Beetle Bailey tries to figure out a way to be first in line for chow, while Kermit and Farmer Grover demonstrate how one uses a horse-and-cart. Three pencils dancing the Rumba show first, last, and Crazy Melvin (don't ask!). Finally, a tree frog struggles to make it to the top of his tree (it's a long, hard climb, but he'll get there). The sponsors today are the letter E and the number 2.

Telly has been instructed by Oscar, as a part of his Grouchketeer duty, to learn the word printed on his sign - "NO." Telly doesn't know what the word means and becomes frustrated by Maria, Olivia and Bob's responses (thinking they're telling him "No" in response to his question). When Oscar asks if he's learned the word yet, Telly sadly admits, "No." Oscar gives him his approval, leaving Telly befuddled.

Alan is busy frosting a cake, when he notices the viewer and welcomes them to Sesame Street. He mentions that it's Henrietta Honker's birthday and they'll be having the party at Hooper's Store. Suddenly, Telly comes in, excited. He tells Alan about a special offer he saw on The Alphabet Channel for free membership in the "Letter of the Month Club," where members receive a letter from the alphabet each month until they have the complete set. Telly, who recently signed up, eagerly awaits his first letter arriving today.
