Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Many of the staff claim to be huge Muppets fans, yet they have trouble distinguishing between the Muppets and Sesame Street. It's obvious that Abby appears on Sesame Street (as the skit involves Elmo and Big Bird), yet they continually refer to the show as "Muppets" (even despite Abby lecturing Debbie about the difference between the two). Further, this episode was set in 2004, several years after "Muppets Tonight" ceased production.
