A clip of Luis with his broken arm appears in Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birtdhay: Stars and Streets Forever. The clip shows him trying to get a shirt on, and appears in a montage of clips involving problem solving.

This wasn't necessarily a plot. But I remember there was a short film(not a cartoon) on SS about a girl named Megan who was at the doctor because she broke her wrist after she fell off her bike. So they showed her getting her wrist getting X rayed & the cast being put on. They showed her playing tennis (it looked like tennis) w/the cast on. Then they showed the doctor taking the cast off Megan's wrist. The final shot was Megan swimming (since she was told she couldn't swim w/the cast on)

Anyone that used to watch SS in the '70s remember this?

I was just thinking about this film recently. All I could remember was the girl getting her cast off and going swimming. And I was born in 1984, which means it was shown at least as late as the 1980s (though I'm thinking I saw it in the early 1990s but can't remember for sure). Either that or they made a similar film later on.

It might have been in the 80s & I saw it with my younger brother & sister.I just remember the film;that's all. I was trying to find it on You Tube. No luck.

I remember Megan. Her clip actually appeared in Episode 2604, in 1989. I believe that just after it came the poem about thumbs that I am trying to find the lines to.

It was on in the '90s because I remember it from when I was little and I don't really remember anything from Sesame prior to about 1993.

Maybe this thread ought to be named "Injured Arm plots" since most of these plots have sprained more than broken arms. I remember when Mr. Hooper slipped on the oil slick c.1978. I remember just before, they put both a DANGER and a PELIGRO sign, the latter for an unseen neighbor who could only speak and read Spanish. How could Mr. Hooper still have slipped after putting up those signs? Can anyone recall? I also remember a doctor showing Big Bird a couple of X-Rays from previous patients, one was broken, the other sprained. They also played the "Meagan" film in that episode. On their way out of the hospital, they met a girl who fell of her bike. Could that have been Meagan?

Over a decade later, it was Barkley who injured one of his legs, but was just sprained. I remember Bob signing to Linda, Barkley's owner, "It's not broken".
