==Notes==
* Scenes 2, 4, 5, and 6 have been used as stand-alone Muppet inserts in various international co-productions (including Plaza Sésamo, Sesamstrasse and Sesamstraat). Scenes 5 and 6 would be stripped of the bookending street sections. Scene 6's musical number was shown with extra footage at the beginning and end not used on the American broadcast.
* Additional performers include Kathryn Mullen (Mama Count) and Jim Martin (Counts' family cow), with Martin P. Robinson (Papa Count). David Rudman and Alison Mork also perform the Count's cousins.
* The Count and Countess' memory are both faulty, as their first meeting was completely different in Episode 0953.
