It could be a factual error. I mean, the set's including the Pinball Number Count, which didn't appear until 1977! And the Rapunzel skit OBVIOUSLY looks and sounds like it is one of the very first special reports Kermit did (that were in the News Flash series, not counting the "Tortoise and the Hare" skit, which was Sesame Street Sports.)

I hope it will be full. It can be seen on Youtube. I wonder why they cut it. Is it because it has the Sesame Street News theme heard over the ending? If the video kept in the "NEWS FLASH" logos, then they could play the full skit. But the chances are probable that this skit on the DVD will have the original "NEWS FLASH" title card and full ending.

That means that it has the original opening logo, right? Or is it shown without a logo? I've read that the early News Flash skits originally didn't feature openign logos, and that openign logos were added to most of them when the logos were introduced.gbrobeck said:
The review mentioned that there are a few factual errors in the booklet. I hope that the people compiling this set didn't make any mistakes when selecting bonus skits for each season.

Well, a few skits around the mid-70s didn't have a logo originally. The "Tortoise and the Hare" Sesame Street Sports skit didn't have a logo either. However, the Rapunzel skit and the other News Flashes from 1971 had logos from the start (most of them have the one with the cloud and lightning bolt, but the Miss Muffet one has this alternate logo with "news bulletin" against stars on a blue background; the music is the same).minor muppetz said:
