==Notes==
*In an early script draft, the episode was originally planned to experiment with a different format. The street story would have been presented as one long segment in the middle of the show. The first chunk of the show was to utilize the Big Bird and Snuffy bumpers introducing the various inserts, with a newly recorded edition where the two greet the viewer at the top of the episode.Tony Geiss Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University Some episodes of the following season would employ a similar format, only placing the street story at the beginning followed by a character hosting the rest of the show until "Elmo's World."
