| [[Saturday Night Live (season 9)|9]] || November 12, 1983 || [[Teri Garr]] || Mister Robinson enters with a bag of groceries and states how a bag of groceries used to cost $5.00 in the past. He helped a lady with carrying her grocery bags to her car and felt bad enough to carry one bag to his apartment. He uses the groceries to explain about the different food groups as he teaches the viewers the word "nutrition." When his latest food is a whole turkey where he also pulls out a steak that he snuck out in his pants. If one gets caught sneaking out of a supermarket with a turkey in their pants, Mister Robinson shows the viewers the sign "Shoplifters will be Prosecuted" with Mister Robinson stating that the latter is what they need to avoid since they already know what the former word means. Mr. Landlord knocks on Mister Robinson's door stating to him that some police officers want to ask him about a bag of groceries. As the groceries have to be kept in a cool dry place, Mister Robinson packs up the groceries since it is starting to get "too hot" in his apartment building. He plans to take them someplace that's much cooler like maybe his friend Willy's home as Mister Robinson sneaks out the fire escape. Taped September 1983

| [[Saturday Night Live (season 9)|9]] || January 21, 1984 || [[Michael Palin]] || Mister Robinson enters with a [[Yorkshire Terrier]] named Cujo that he was playing in the park. He states how some kids come up to him and ask him why he doesn't have a job. Mister Robinson tells the viewers the flaws of being a firefighter, a police officer, a doctor, a lawyer, or a banker. Mister Robinson states that one would have to get a job by making one up themselves. Mister Robinson gives an example of telephone solicitation as he calls up Mrs. Herbert Green to check to see if her dog is missing as he teaches the viewers the word "ransom." Mister Robinson asks Mrs. Green if she can count to 100 by unmarked 10s only to hear that she can only count to 50. Mister Robinson tells her to count higher as he mimics Cujo's voice stating to pay him as he has a knife. Mr. Landlord knocks on the door asking Mister Robinson if he has a dog in his apartment. After mentioning how Mr. Landlord doesn't allow dogs in the apartment building because they don't pay rent, Mr. Robinson takes Cujo and sneaks out the fire escape to teach him the game "fetch the wallet" as he waits for the ransom money.
