Trivia[]
- The voice overs on the Clifford the Big Red Dog funding credits are Charley (season 1) and Cleo (season 2). Other than that, the other voice overs are just random announcers.
- On the season 2 Clifford the Big Red Dog funding, the "thank you" isn't said after "viewers like you", most likely due to Cleo's selfish-like personality in the series. This is the only funding bumper to exclude "thank you" (ala the annual financial support of Viewers Like You).
- The colors on the PBS Kids card look less saturated than the CPB card.
- The Sesame Street variant is the only funding credits to have different music, which the music on that bumper being a trumpet version of the Sesame Street theme.
- The kids seen on these funding credits appeared earlier at the end of the Zoom ident, which was introduced in 1999 with the exception of Demi.
- The Sesame Street variant also had Gordon doing the funding credits
- The CPB card on the Reading Rainbow funding is replaced by a specially animated CPB logo.
- An prototype variant of the Dragon Tales funding was seen on two broadcastings of Plaza Sesamo, aired in 2001 and 2004. This one features the same announcer from the said funding, but the voice over is different, and was shortened/sped up.
- The Funding plug was first used on September 4th, 2000 for the premiere of Clifford The Big Red Dog, Then the extended version debuted on The season 2 premiere of Dragon Tales on June 4th, 2001. Even though The Funding plug ended on November 10, 2006, it still continued to be used on Sesame Street until 2014.
- There's an alternative version of the funding that was used on re-runs of Dragon Tales from 2005-2010. This version is the same as the one from Sesame Street, but the CPB logo was removed from the orange/green half background. the viewers like you and thank you segment is placed on the red/yellow half background containing demi, but the thought bubble is absent. And the voiceover has a different male saying the funding. The announcer who did the voiceover also did the PBS Kids Go! funding as well.
- On Clifford's Puppy Days, Evan says the funding. But on other episodes, it reuses Charley's voice clip from its predecessor show, Clifford The Big Red Dog.
