Isn't that first E&B skit from one of the pilots? ****, they did not waste footage.https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1557: Osvaldo pays Oscar a visit.

That skit also appeared in the season 6 premiere #666. Yep, they certainly didn't waste footage. I remember seeing "The King of Eight" in a season 35 episode, for real!Isn't that first E&B skit from one of the pilots? ****, they did not waste footage.
"The King of Eight" was one of only five "classic" segments shown in Season 35. The other four included:That skit also appeared in the season 6 premiere #666. Yep, they certainly didn't waste footage. I remember seeing "The King of Eight" in a season 35 episode, for real!
The other one might have been a Pinball segment. I recall one of the Pinball segments airing around this time (though it could have been a season earlier or so)."The King of Eight" was one of only five "classic" segments shown in Season 35. The other four included:
- "The Magnificent Splasho"
- "Letter I (Beep Beep)"
- "The Letter P on an island to a rotating sunset" (but with the Joe Raposo music and original voiceover replaced by modern music and a new younger voiceover)
- and one other segment that I don't recall.
You're one season behind all of those, my good man."The King of Eight" was one of only five "classic" segments shown in Season 35. The other four included:

Season 36 had fewer classic segments from the 1970s. The only ones I know of are:
- "The Alligator King"
- "Consonant Sound - N for Nose" (with sound effects added)
- "Julius and Jasper vs. the apple" (the last animated segment from the 1970s ever shown on the series)
Season 37 had only one segment from the 1970s, and that was a Bert and Ernie sketch about Bernice playing checkers with Bert. The oldest animated segment aired that season was the "D/d (drums and drumsticks)" segment, which was known to have first appeared by April 1987.
Season 38 was when the show flipped the switch to HD format and segments from 1970s and much of the 1980s ceased to exist on the show by then, but did get released to Sesame Street's official website in the Classic Clips section. While the Classic Clips section is gone, some, not all, classic clips did get released to the show's official YouTube channel. I really hope more classic clips get uploaded soon, it is long overdue. At least the classic clips on YouTube proves that Sesame Workshop did not waste tape for sure.
You mean better-quality screenshots or made guides complete (of course 1836 has been on DVD for eight years)?I don't know if anyone noticed this, but they have recently updated some of the guides for episodes that have already been in the trade circulation for awhile. That is, they got clean copies of the episodes. Some of these episodes are 1836, 2226, 2486, 2876, 3006, 3010, 3136 and 3140. So I'm not entirely sure, but I wonder if just maybe these will be some of the episodes that will be released on HBO Max, and that's why they're showing up. But don't quote me on it, it's just a thought.
