"first season show content" re-do segmnets

[minor muppetz]

Looking at the CTW Archives "First Season Show Content" papers, many segments lsited have pencil writing in them. Some say "Dump" (which most likely means never show again), some say something that I can't quite make out (it's written ebsides most of the Henson letter claymation sketches, though the E claymation has dump written by it), and then some sketches have "Re-Do" written next to them.

I wodner if this means that the sketches were redone before they were broadcast, or if the note said that they needed to be remade. Pretty much all of the sketches with that note are ones that I had never heard of before seeing those scans at Muppet Wiki. It is written by a four-part Ernie sketch involving milk, which includes the one featured in The Sesame Street Book of Puzzlers where Ernie pours milk while upside-down. And oddly, I don't think I've seen any post-season 1 epsiode pages at Mupet Wiki that mention these sketches.
Does anybody have any idea about this?

I know that some of them had to be redone or removed based of how well they worked with test audiences.

Some sketchs were pre-recorded (like the early westerns and early game shows).

What do you mean pre-recorded?

 

[Oscarfan]

I mean they recorded the audio for the sketch before hand. They mostly did this with Guy Smiley sketches because his loud voice was a strain on Jim Henson's voice.

Everything on Sesame Street is pre-recorded. It isn't a live show. Sesame Street Live is, but regular Sesame Street ain't.

No, no, no. That's not what I mean. Look at this sketch here:

Now, you can obivously tell that their lipsyncing to a pre-recored vocal track. That's what I ment. They do the same in Sesame Street Live.
