Episode recap

Sesame Street Season 1, Episode 4 is identified in the series catalog as “Gordon, Susan and Bob Run Hooper’s Store for the Day (0004).” The episode’s brief synopsis states that the three human characters—Gordon, Susan and Bob—assume responsibility for Hooper’s Store for a single day.

Bob McGrath, who is listed in the supplied source as the actor portraying the music‑teacher character Bob Johnson on Sesame Street from 1969 onward, appears in this episode as part of the trio managing the store. His
