Sesame Street Episode 4120
Baby Bear Writes a Story Called "The 3 Astro Bears"
Season 37 (2006)
the street scenes focus on Baby Bear writing an original story about the Three Bears. The story is titled "The Three Bears in Outer Space," inspired by Elmo's love for stories about stars, planets, and rocket ships.
As the story unfolds, the Three Astro Bears try to find the answer to the question of how porridge tastes in space. However, they accidentally trigger the red anti-gravity button, causing chaos on their ship. Zoe walks by and suggests, based on Rocco's idea, that the story should have a cowgirl in it. This leads to the middle part of the story, where Cowgirl Zoe and her masked horse, Horse, appear and attempt to round up the porridge without success. Horse then suggests that the bears hit the red button again to restore gravity, solving the problem. After they leave, the ship starts to shake.
Big Bird comes by and learns about the progress of the story. He suggests adding a tap-dancing chicken to the plot, leading to the conclusion of the story. The shaking turns out to be caused by a tap-dancing chicken onboard the ship, preventing the porridge from being tasted. Baby Bear asks the chicken to stop, and it agrees. The bear family is finally able to taste their porridge in space. The bears then go home and live happily ever after.
With the story completed, Baby Bear thanks the others for their collaborative ideas.
