Random Trivia For This Title:

1483: Competition -> Big Bird reveals that he is a golden condor.
1483: Competition -> The flashback of ^[?] Andrew Wyeth's visit is archive footage from Show #1217 from 1972.
1483: Competition -> Caroll Spinney agreed to appear in the episode as Big Bird after some dialogue with Fred Rogers; when Spinney originally received the script for the show he saw it required him to remove the costume and discuss the inner-workings of the Big Bird puppet. Spinney protested, as he didn't believe in ruining the illusion of Big Bird for the children. Rogers agreed, but only under the stipulation that Big Bird's appearance was restricted to the fantasy segments of the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe," as he didn't believe in perpetuating the deceitful blur of real and pretend to children that occurred when presenting the character as real in the "real world."
1520: Day Care and Night Care -> The footage of graham crackers being made was filmed at the Philadelphia Bakery of Nabisco Brands, Inc.
1578: Making Mistakes -> This is the first time Mr. Rogers is absent as he leaves to go to a meeting Chuck Aber takes over the episode until Rogers returns later in the episode.
1619: Environment -> Michael Horton [II] was unavailable for this week of shows, save for his short voiceover as Betty Okanak Templeton-Jones in Episode 1618, so Tom Megalis was brought in to perform Old Goat.
1664: Love -> The Neighborhood of Make-Believe storyline is identical to that found Episode 1309.
1670: Then and Now -> The picture of young Miss Paulifficate shows King Friday and Queen Sara on either side of her. In actuality, she was well grown up before the king and queen even met or got married. This was probably done to eliminate confusion in children of the modern era watching the show who would have no recollection or knowledge of the royal wedding from the second season.
1695: Mad Feelings -> As Lady Aberlin dances outside Grandpere's upside-down Tower, a sharp eye might catch something out of the ordinary on her left forearm. According to Betty Aberlin: "It's not a tattoo. It looks like a stain or paint/ink, a bruise, or maybe I gave blood and they couldn't find the vein?"
1689: Everybody's Special -> At the end of the time in Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday and Neighbor Aber play hide-and-seek. While Tuesday hides, Neighbor Aber counts in an unusual way: "12-15-22-5." Translating these numbers into letters (1=A, 2=B, etc.), these numbers spell out L-O-V-E.
1755: Curiosity -> This is Purple Panda's last appearance on the show.
