The only visual evidence concerning this special's existence is a promotional photo that was sold on eBay and can be seen at right.

Since this special aired when home recording was in its infancy, it's unlikely that anyone recorded it, though Sesame Workshop might have a copy of at least the Grover/Marsh framing segments.
