Notes

• This was the last season where the episodes ended with characters holding up the Sesame Street and Children's Television Workshop signs.
• This was also the final season to feature Mr. Hooper. Will Lee died on December 7, 1982, and his character's death was addressed in a 1983 episode.
• Starting this season and until Season 25, the show is taped at Teletape Studios' Third Stage at 9th Avenue and 55th Street, moving from the former Second Stage on 81st Street (where it was filmed since the first season).
• This is the first season to have Jeff Moss credited as a writer since Season 5.
