## Notes

* Although Mr. Hooper, Miles' adoption, Maria and Luis' wedding, and Gabi's birth are all touted as events that occurred before Elmo was born, they in fact occurred long after the character was introduced. Elmo, in fact, can be seen in the clip of Maria and Luis' wedding, yet acts like he isn't even there.
* The timeline incorrectly includes a clip with Olivia to represent 1974. Olivia first appeared on the show in 1976.
* Although the timeline sequence includes a clip from one of C-3PO and R2-D2's appearances for 1978, their appearances were actually made in season 11.
* The timeline incorrectly includes a clip with Teeny Little Super Guy to represent 1982. Teeny Little Super Guy first appeared on the show in 1984.
* Variations of the timeline sequence, using some different clips, have been used to commemorate subsequent anniversaries, appearing on the DVD set *40 Years of Sunny Days*, the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards, and a 50th Anniversary highlight reel. Template:Youtube
* International releases replaced Marilyn Horne's version of "C is for Cookie" with "The First Time Me Eat Cookie," along with editing out the "Typewriter," "C is for Circles" and "Spanish Word of the Day" segments.
