Edits

 * Episode 0666: "Dialing for Prizes Movie" is replaced by Beat the Time with Grover as the contestant.
 * Episode 0796: In the second-to-last Street scene, the DVD release omits the last few seconds in which David and Maria kiss. (Maria sings "Happy Birthday to You," a song that is still under copyright in the United States.)
 * Sesame Street Test Show 1: The scene in which Bob reads Where the Wild Things Are is cut; this is likely due to rights issues.
