- Kermit the Frog: Uh, public affairs and news? McNeill-Lehrer? Bill Moyers?
- Oscar the Grouch: Not my cup of mud.
- Oscar the Grouch: [on Pledge Drives] Now that was television! Why can't they do shows like that more often? Well it doesn't matter 'cause I taped it and now I can watch it any time I want. I'm a lucky grouch.
- Kermit the Frog: Hi ho there. This is Kermit the Frog and I'm here to find out why Oscar the Grouch likes public television.
- Oscar the Grouch: I don't like public television!
- Kermit the Frog: How about live concerts?
- Oscar the Grouch: I prefer recorded concerts on badly scratched records.
- Kermit the Frog: How about movie classics in the original black and white without interruptions?
- Oscar the Grouch: I prefer colorized versions with lots and lots of commercial interruptions!
- Kermit the Frog: Great drama! You certainly gotta like great drama, how about "Masterpiece Theater?"
- Oscar the Grouch: Oh, you mean, uh plays, that I can watch in the comfort of my own home, with my feet up and a nice pillow under my head, huh?
- Kermit the Frog: That's it, yep.
- Oscar the Grouch: Nah, I'd rather stand in line in the rain, pay a fortune for seeing something really rotten.
