  • Season 7 introduces a new curriculum about the government, to tie in with the Bicentennial celebrations of 1976. To kick off that curriculum, Big Bird decides to run for President of the United States in this episode. * Oscar tries to get rid of three old cans, so he can have more room inside his trash can. Luis and Maria find a good use for two of them. Oscar decides to keep the third one, because it's kind of an old favorite of his. * Big Bird is convinced that he could make a good president. He sings a song called "President Bird". Big Bird becomes president, without realizing that he has to think of everybody's needs. * Cookie Monster encounters a green napkin. Every time he squeezes the napkin, a new number appears, allowing Cookie to count up to twenty.
