Descriptive Video Service, provided by WGBH, neglected to extoll the details of the Owl Correspondence School plaque that appears at the end of Cousin Mary Owl's Tree Video. The plaque has an "established" date which DVS does not announce. By all looks of things, Owl Correspondence School was established in 1968.
Henrietta Pussycat tells Mayor Maggie that the tree in which she and X the Owl live is a make-believe tree. This contradicts Lady Aberlin's declaration that X's is an oak tree—a statement made 19 years before. X the Owl also said in August 1992 that he lives in "the Old Oak Tree."
One drawback of the book I Read Signs is that you pull the page that has a "push" sign.
Goof: Rogers introduces Make-Believe by saying Lady Elaine wants to use H.J. Elephant III to aid in her "Reading Game." However, the Reading Game has not been mentioned in any of the previous shows.

Nitpick When Joe Negri stops by Mr Rogers says you know my television neighbor Joe would have met Mr Rogers's television neighbor back when Joe first join the show.
Funny enough, Rogers has to ask what a "trough" is. He had already seen a trough in April 1983, when he visited the bakery where graham crackers are made.
In this episode, Fred Rogers introduces his viewers to his "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" web site, which is still active and looks much the same more than a decade later.
In all past programs, the song for Henrietta Pussycat opened with the lyrics "You are pretty/You are black" (See Quotes). But in this, the last time anyone performs the song, Mayor Maggie tried to be more politically correct. She told Henrietta, "You are gray."
Descriptive Video Service alleged that Michael Yarmush was a "12-year-old boy." In truth, Yarmush was born June 19, 1982. That made him 17 years of age at the debut of this program.

As a member of The Mister Rogers Society at Yahoo! has pointed out, the absence of an Eiffel Tower model leaves its mark in this episode. Rogers uses large puzzle pieces shaped like King Friday XIII, Queen Sara and Prince Tuesday going from the model Castle to the office of Dr. Bill Platypus stage left. Dr. Bill's office is in the Eiffel Tower. This should have been the ideal time to use the Eiffel Tower model.
