Notes

• While other videos released as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video line had their title sequences feature the title in a plain black background, this video's title sequence shows stars in the background.
• The Count does not mention Kermit the Frog among the guests during the opening sequence.
• When the Count announces the guests at the beginning, clips with Ernie and Grover that did not appear later in the video are shown.
• In 2008, this video was included with Learning to Share as a Sesame Street Double Feature.
