Title card for Episode 3786, the first show of the season.
Alan's first appearance on Sesame Street.
Elmo's World debuted this year.
The format of the show is revised. Like the earliest episodes, characters would often introduce segments, or characters associated with inserts would appear on the street before or after their clip was shown. At times, they even appeared in the videos. Here, Big Bird appears in the "Ookyook" song.
Zoe gets her very own Zoemobile in Episode 3789. She would eventually stop being seen with it by Season 34.
Herry Monster stars in the recurring Monsters in Day Care segments.
