'''Visuals:''' Fading from the 1983 Children's Television Workshop logo and against a white background is the familiar {{color|green}} and {{color|gold|yellow}} ''Sesame Street'' sign come up from the bottom of the screen, but with "{{color|gold|MY}}" (in {{color|gold|yellow}}) taking the place of "CTW", and the rectangle being elongated at the bottom to make room for the words "{{color|gold|HOME VIDEO}}" (also in {{color|gold|yellow}}). An animated version of Cookie Monster is behind the logo (but only his head and arms are shown). He looks back and forth, and then takes a bite out of the top left side of the sign and chews it noisily and messily. He then licks his finger, and then he has a delighted expression on his face, with his eyes spinning around. As the logo fades out, Cookie says "Delicious!" (lifted from a pre-existing Sesame Street sketch).
