Notes

• Starting this season, the opening sequence changed to the blocks format, which was used through to Season 37. The theme song is another re-recording of the original opening theme, which is cut short on reruns.

• The entire format also changes to a more 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.)

• It was the last season for the closing credits to be seen only on Fridays.

• Starting this season, Jim Henson is no longer credited as a performer.
