A list of inserts produced for Sesame Street, but never aired on the domestic show. This list excludes segments that have yet to air domestically, but have been seen on international co-productions.

Picture	Season	Description
	Season 24	Monsterpiece Theater: Chariots of Fur (with newly-shot Alistair Cookie scenes) "Chariots of Fur" was one of a number of early Monsterpiece Theater segments where the intros and closings with Alistair Cookie were re-shot so that he no longer had a pipe. Sesame Workshop would later include it in an online compilation of spoof segments. It was then used in the HBO Max edit of Episode 2356, replacing the earlier version of the segment.
	Season 28	"More Than a Toy" An insert version was made of Big Bird performing the song "More Than a Toy" from Episode 3606, using new wraparound footage in addition to scenes made for the original appearance. The segment has never aired, but has been posted on Sesame Street's YouTube channel.
	Season 30	Singing in the Shower (remake) Though unaired, the segment was published to Sesamestreet.org for a period of time.
	Season 33	The Letter of the Day: A A Letter of the Day segment featuring Cookie Monster (Frank Oz) and Ernie was taped during production of season 33, but not included in any episodes. Another Letter A segment (with David Rudman performing Cookie) aired twice during the season, and once more the following year. The former segment would finally see a release on Sesamestreet.org, where it was featured for a period of time.

	Season 44	Tyra Banks and Abby sing "The ABC Song," when the letter Z appears, taking umbrage to the fact that only the first three letters are mentioned in the title. Tyra convinces him to stay, converting it to the "A Through Z Song." Though a clip of the segment appears in the season 44 trailer (YouTube), it did not appear in any episode of the season. It was later posted to the Sesame Street YouTube channel. (YouTube)
