* OffModel: Big Bird and especially Oscar don't quite look right, as if maybe ''Sesame Street'' didn't want to waste any freshly built versions of the puppets on this show, so they used older, somewhat worn versions. Related to this might be Oscar's voice sounding a bit off throughout the show, maybe indicating that Caroll Spinney just viewed the whole thing as MoneyDearBoy and wasn't trying very hard.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Quite a few, but the crowner has to be when Oscar gets out an electric guitar and starts singing "Yakety Yak" until the guitar blows up. If not that, then it would be Anne Murray singing her song "You Needed Me" while gazing lovingly at Big Bird and Bob.

It technically wasn't the first. There was the This Way to Sesame Street preview show on NBC in 1969, then the Julie on Sesame Street and Out to Lunch shows on ABC

This was also the first ''Sesame Street'' special to air on a commercial network, airing on Creator/{{CBS}} the same year that ''Series/ChristmasEveOnSesameStreet'' aired on the show's usual home of Creator/{{PBS}} (in fact, it aired the same ''week''--''Christmas Eve'' debuted on a Sunday, while this show ran five days later on Friday). In a departure from the latter special and the series itself, this one was not produced by the Children's Television Workshop (forerunner of today's Creator/SesameWorkshop) but by Bob Banner (known for producing ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow'' and Perry Como's TV specials).
