Notes[]

  • When this episode was broadcast on PBS Kids Sprout, the CTW slogan announcement during the last scene is removed, abruptly cutting to the purple Sesame Workshop copyright screen immediately after the letter-and-number sponsors are announced. Usually, the Sesame Workshop re-prints of season 31 episodes on Sprout leave the slogan announcement intact, as only the aforementioned copyright screen and the Friday closing credits are affected.
