==Notes==
*An edited version of the credit sequence for this episode appears on Old School: Volume 1, with the removal of the book mentioned on today's show. The credit sequence also appears on the HBO Max version of the very first episode (in place of that episode's CTW slogan announcement), albeit with said book mention left intact.
*The music used for Mr. Hooper's soda stealer device would later be recycled for a segment where Kermit gives a lecture about feet, being utilized when the feet he's demonstrating with do a short dance routine.
