Grover faints.On the Old School: Volume 1 DVD release of the episode, this scene replaces the scene with Big Bird and Krystal playing store.
 	SCENE 6DVD release 	Maria reads while David and the kids play in the yard. Big Bird and Grover announce the sponsors (C, U and 2, which reminds Grover of the chin-ups from earlier).Due to clearance issues, the Stevie Wonder insert was replaced on the Old School: Volume 1 DVD release with this closing from another episode.
