* Page 24 incorrectly refers to The Junior Morning Show as The Junior Good Morning Show.
* A photo caption incorrectly refers to Junior Gorg as a fraggle [sic].
* Page 35 references the erroneous claim that Kermit the Frog was named after one of Jim Henson's childhood friends.

* Both page 54 and the timeline incorrectly site the premiere date of Sesame Street as November 11, 1969 as opposed to November 10.
* Page 60 claims Cher and Chaz Bono taped a segment for Sesame Street, when in fact the two worked with Henson on Cher in 1975.
