Season Overview
The curriculum for Season 32 is focusing on music and art to "emphasizes the importance of the creative process in child development through hands-on projects."[1] Arlene Sherman says, "First, we want to cultivate in children an appreciation of art. The other part is to encourage creativity in them: Everyone is an artist, and art is more about the process than the finished product."[2]

Notes
- Elmo's World returns for it's third season with ten new segments about Computers, Bugs, Pets, Teeth, Hands, Birthdays, Birds, Games, Bicycles and Families.
- The "hurricane" episodes (3976-3980) were rerun on October 4-8, 2004 (after Hurricane Charley) and September 12-16, 2005 (after Hurricane Katrina). The reruns began with an introduction by Gordon, and were structured slightly differently.
- The street scenes from the "hurricane" episodes were edited together and released on DVD under the title Friends to the Rescue.
- After this season, Jim Henson is no longer credited as a Muppet performer.
- This is also the final season to be presented under the original format after 32 seasons. For the next season, the show gained a new "structured," predictable format, introducing new regular segments such as "The Letter of the Day", "The Number of the Day", "The Spanish Word of the Day", and "Journey to Ernie", plus the return of "Elmo's World", "Monster Clubhouse", and "Hero Guy". ("Elmo's World" had been in every episode since 1998; "Monster Clubhouse" and "Hero Guy" were introduced in Season 32 and alternated with each episode.)
- This is the last season until Season 41 to have repeats.
- This is also the last season in which Kermit the Frog appears in new material filmed for the show. However, he returns to make a cameo appearance in Elmo's World: Frogs in the 40th season premiere.
- This was the final season with the 1998-2001 opening sequence
- This is also Tarah's final season.
