Notes

From here on, each episode ended with a preview of the next day's show: e.g., "Tune in next time when Sylvia sings about (Pete's pickle)." A reverberating tone bleeps out the words listed in parentheses for the youthful audience to guess. This closing was not included in the Noggin rebroadcasts
