Notes

This episode was written by John Weidman and directed by Emily Squires.
The cameraman Muppet performed by Eric Jacobson in this episode is a caricature version of longtime camera one operator for Sesame Street, Frank Biondo. He appears as himself later in a montage in Elmo's World: Cameras.
The television was showing a Tokyo String Quartet segment before Alan changes the channel to the Alphabet Road Show.
This is the first episode to feature the Twiddlebugs in computer-animated form.
