The first topic of the show is the short sound of the letter O, as found in words such as "hop" and "flop"... not to mention lots of other words ending in -op, as you'll see in the Silhouette Blends segment of the day. Shortly after that, Luis Avalos plays a travelling mop salesman who's shocked to find out he's stopped in at a house where everyone has mop-like hair! Skip Hinnant sings "Slop the Hogs", demonstrating a phrase with two short O sounds, after which the animated Message Man stumbles upon a "beware of dog" sign. Next, Bill Cosby plays an astronaut who spills spinach on his spacesuit in a sketch with many words starting with the SP blend to spot. Speaking of SP, is it possible to eat spaghetti with a spoon? Sing along with Avalos and you might find out. Lovers of double consonants will love the "This Lollipop is Following Me" animated song, and they might also want to look out for a LL and a DD when Morgan Freeman and Jimmy Boyd believe they might have spotted the ghostly Galloping Saddle. The last topic is a good word to add to your vocabulary: "danger". That's what Rita Moreno and Judy Graubart believe they're in when they walk through a haunted house. Towards the end of the episode, Hattie Winston tells the story of Gunga Din (Avalos) who finds himself surrounded by the word "danger" on all sides! How will he make it through? Scanimate words include "hop", "sparks", and "bubbles".
Tune in next time when Jennifer says "toast".
