Episode 441 has images:

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0441

We can finally see what the Muppet version of Officer Krumpky looks like (and we learn that the Muppet was performed by Jerry Nelson as opposed to Frank Oz, perhaps an error due to the fact that Oz would portray the human version). We've also solved a mystery that had been discussed on the wiki forum - the script included (apparently) dialogue and actions for the first season Ernie and Bert "everybody scratch" segment, mentioning it ending with Bert being scratched not by Beautiful Day Monster but Bernice the Pigeon, but it turns out this is the same segment that's been pictured (no alternate footage or remade segment). Makes me wonder if they planned on remaking it (are remake segments scripted in the first scripts to include the remakes, even if the sketches are really only remade to look better and not have any notable changes?).

Wow! That would definitely be a clip worthy of posting to the twitters.

Is Oscar wearing clothes as he's in bed, or is that just a cast?

I think it’s one of those hospital gowns, patients are given.

Frazzle was used so much in the '90s that I forgot just how old he is. I always thought he was a cool character, in appearance and conceptually. And little stuff like Sherlock interacting with Oscar makes me giddy.

I think this is the first time I've opened a guide and saw the legendary Cracks in there; Scott and Shane, if you don't mind me asking, when did you guys first receive that segment? Was it before or after the Lost Media Wiki found it?
