Notes[]
- When this episode aired on PBS Kids Sprout, the PBS "Viewers Like You" tag is shown, after Big Bird says "Toodle-oo!" at the end of the episode, before cutting to the 2000 Sesame Workshop logo. Usually on Sprout, the funding credits are not shown. (This was resolved on Comcast's on-demand service.)
