Me thinks that yes you were, but hopefully someone taped the special and we can watch it again.
Oh, and for wwfpooh's benefit, the clips I can rattle off are as follows...
During the special/episode:
1 Jim Henson's Falling Baker segment for the number 10.
2 the song "Ten Tiny Turtles", though it was missing the first part of the animated segment. There's supposed to be the sound effect for a dime being thrown into the payphone's slot, and then we hear a rotary phone dialing and a number 10 in blue appear as the dial's dialing.
3 The operatic version of the song "C is for Cookie" which I dislike.
After the special/episode:
4 Put Down the Duckie.
5 The African Alphabet Song.
6 The Coconut Counting Man, which makes my heart melt.
7 Furry Happy Monsters.
8 When Susan tells Big Bird that Mr. Hooper isn't coming back.
9 What I believe to be a snipet of Big Bird's nest destroyed by the hurricane at the end of Season 32.
10 Another Season, Another Reason for Eating Cookie.
11 A brief snipet with Savian singing about a rhyming game while he was tapdancing.
12 When everyone saw that Snuffy was real.
And if you stuck around till the very end of the episode, you also got to saw the performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street.
There are many more clips shown during the end of the episode like the bit with C-3PO and R2-D2, but I can't recall them all. Hope this helps and have a good night.
