Old Toons menu entry

</div>
* Mission Control is the "Lost [[Puppet Jam]]", apparently set to be released following [[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities]]. A link to "Mission Control" appeared on the [[Toons]] menu on June 30, 2004, but led nowhere. On July 5, 2004, it was unceremoniously removed from the site. Then on July 8, 2005, it was released for viewing with the [[Main Page Messages|message on the main pages]] being "Lost Puppet Jam".
* Originally, the Toons menu said that Mission Control was 1:00 long, but on the current version of the site, it says it is 1:06.
* This, alongside [[sb email 22]], were the only cartoons to not go in chronological order on their respective menus. Instead, it went with the other Puppet Jams. This was later changed with the [[Post-Flash Site Update]].
* The chords for the song are a simple "I, IV, ii, V" progression—G, C, Am, D, to be exact.
* The DVD version contains a few more seconds in which they decide to do the song with drums.
