Short Special That Is Unique

Sesame Street in Puerto Rico is a special that would involve clips from the show's eleventh season. Basically, the plot of this special is Maria returns to Puerto Rico, her home country, to celebrate her 21st birthday with her family. However, Big Bird, Oscar, and the other adults also arrive, wanting to surprise her, and afterwards, the gang explore and enjoy the country's sights.

This is a neat oddity. Made by splicing street scenes from Season 11's story arc of the adults, Big Bird, and even Oscar the Grouch visit Puerto Rico, with Big Bird narrating. Basically, the special had bilingual characters long before the conception of Rosita Monster, including Osvaldo, a local grouch Oscar makes friends with. However, I have to give it seven, seven stars, ah-ah-ah, due to being too short.
