Trivia

• This is also the final filming year to utilize the school and treehouse set (which were demolished by April of that year). Then-future videos "You Can Be Anything", "Barney's Beach Party" and "Round and Round We Go" were filmed during that year, thus this marks the final year in which the production of Dennis DeShazer serves as an executive producer.
