Sesame Street, Special was a pledge-drive special that first aired on PBS in March 1988. It featured some new material as well as repeat segments from the show. When the special was released on video, the title was changed to Put Down the Duckie, and had a few other changes made, the most major change being the editing of an entire sequence where Kermit the Frog interviewed Oscar the Grouch about public television. Since that scene was meant to lead to a pledge break, and the video didn't have any pledge break, this entire sequence was cut.

Several PBS stations repeated this special in 1994 during a pledge drive. The special was still called Put Down the Duckie and the Kermit and Oscar scene was present, but the "Sesame Street Special Report" was cut and replaced with an H. Ross Parrot sketch.
