Marvelous mayhem with the letter M ensues as Morgan Freeman observes words ending with that particular letter (ham, him, rim, rum, and mum) on the basketball court, followed by an animation about the Magic MMM Machine, animated by Cliff Roberts and featuring voice work by Jim Thurman. J. Arthur Crank (Jimmy Boyd), meanwhile, is having a little trouble with his letters. He tries to show the audience the word "steal", but someone removes the S and L and inserts an S and E on the end. It's Spider-Man (Danny Seagren) trying to "tease" Crank! More EA words abound as Jimmy Boyd sings "I'm a Sneaker Freak", a sentimental ode to his old, worn-out shoes. He returns with Skip Hinnant and Luis Avalos to introduce the next topic, the SK consonant blend that can begin or end a word. Then, at Vi's Diner, Crank (Boyd) and Vi (Lee Chamberlin) have to help somebody who's lost and needs to find his way back to his street. If it's Not Skin Street, Skit Street, or Mask Avenue, where does he live? Would it help if I told you he's cute, furry, blue, and voiced by Frank Oz? Silent Sam (Avalos) gives a wordless introduction to the final topic: apostrophe S standing for the word "is", as in the words "that's" and "here's". Boyd and Avalos star in the final sketch, stranded in a rowboat and trying to conserve their energy by saying "he's" instead of "he is". Scanimate words include "magic", "ask", and "skunk".
Tune in next time when the lady stands under a cloud.
