Notes[]
- The Telly Fish is also seen in the song "Telly's Aquarium," Elmo's World: Fish, Episode 3653, and Episode 4049.
- This is the first episode in which Elmo asks the kids "yes" or "no" questions during the quiz segment.
- The home video release alters the audio during TV's entrance and exit because the broadcast version uses an instrumental of "Yellow Submarine," which had to be removed due to music rights.
