* The show celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1979 with a special called ''[[https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/A_Walking_Tour_of_Sesame_Street A Walking Tour of Sesame Street]]'', a fairly standard ClipShow hosted by Creator/JamesEarlJones. But another anniversary special proposal that kicked around CTW was the ambitious ''[[https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/A-B-Chorus_Line A-B-Chorus Line]]'', a WholePlotReference to and parody of ''Theatre/AChorusLine'', based around a {{Metafiction}}al origin story that ''Sesame Street'' is a ShowWithinAShow, and all of the cast members (Muppet and human) had to audition for it back in 1968, leading to extended flashback scenes of the audition process. Cookie Monster tried to win the role of Mr. Hooper, Grover was a coffee delivery courier who unexpectedly got a role, and Gladys the Cow tried out for every single part.

* There was a time in which Creator/{{Disney}} could've owned the ''Sesame Street'' Muppets, as back when Creator/JimHenson was planning to sell his company to Disney in the late 1980s, then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner really wanted to buy the ''Sesame Street'' Muppets from Henson, viewing them as a viable asset due to how iconic they are. However, Jim Henson refused to include them in the deal, as he wanted to give the rights to the Children's Television Workship (the producers of the show) to maintain their public television roots. Henson's refusal to sell the ''Sesame Street'' Muppets to Disney and the conflicts that ensued because of it was one of the major reasons why the deal fell through (the other major factor being Jim Henson's death in 1990). The rights to the ''Sesame Street'' Muppets were ultimately given to the Children's Television Workshop (later renamed to Sesame Workshop) after Henson passed away.[[note]]Disney would later obtain ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' (which is why Kermit [[ScrewedByTheLawyers rarely appears in the show today]]) and ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' in 2004. The Jim Henson Company itself remains independent.[[/note]]
