This video was originally made for Nickelodeon in 1987, featuring Vanessa Lindores, Adam Reid, and Doug Ptolemy, and was intended to be the last piece of the series to be produced. By the time Nick wanted to use it, the series had started again with the 1989 season, with a mostly new cast. So, the video was cut from one hour to a half hour, removing and shortening many sketches, as well as the final segment showing how green slime is made, additional scenes from the new episodes, and old episodes were added, and all the links featuring the kids were re-shot, or edited so that they no longer appeared in the scene. The new kids that were used in the final version of the video were Chris Bickford, Jennifer Brackenbury, and Christian Tessier. Copies of the original, hour long version of the video have been found in collectors circles, dubbed from master tapes.
