Notes

The second season of Elmo's World includes ten new segments about Singing, Dogs, Exercise, Babies, Bananas, Drawing, Flowers, Plants & Trees, Telephones, Farms and Hair.
This was the last season to use the phrase "Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Televison Workshop", due to CTW changing it's name to Sesame Workshop the next season.
Also due to the name change, this was the last season the Sesame Street sign read "CTW Sesame Street", changing to "123 Sesame Street" next season.
After this season Richard Hunt is no longer credited as a performer.
All episodes in this season were shown in one of Noggin's 123 Sesame Street rotations from 2003 to 2005.
