- When released to video under the name "Put Down the Duckie", the following changes have been made: The beginning shows Big Bird coming out of his nest and seeing the title Put Down the Duckie, instead of Sesame Street Special. Also in the Monsterpiece Theatre part, the introduction has been changed into a slightly extended one, and it featured a re-shot greeting from Alistair Cookie without his pipe. Also at the end of it when Grover comes crashing through the window, his scream has been added instead of the previous version when he silently flew in. Also dialogue between him and Cookie Monster have changed to: Cookie: "Shh, we still on camera." Grover: "What a nice rug." In the original: Cookie: "Stay there, we still on camera." Grover: "Hurry". Also, this special was run during the pledge drives, and since the video did not apply to this, the skit of Kermit the Frog and Oscar discussing public television and pledge drives has been cut out.
- The Put Down the Duckie musical scene was shown on "Sesame Street" (1969) very seldom and when it was, alot of the celebrities singing were edited out. The more recent showing of it had all the celebrities edited out and just featured Hoots singing; also because of this, it was a lot shorter.
