Inconsistencies we've found in scripts as part of the project described at Thread:253692
- Episode 1597 and Episode 1736 cite "Madrigal Alphabet"'s first appearance as Episode 0619, but the script for Episode 0619 lists "Jazz Alphabet (1:21)"
- Episode 3214: script says "Sammy the Snake" song is the original, season 3 bit, but video footage confirms it's the Carol Channing song.
- Starship Surprise
- CTW doc says it's in Episode 1505
- Neither in final cut or 1505 script.
- 40 years book has this image
- Michael references a recently posted BTS pic at Thread:256432
- Scripts from season 19 and on cite the Kermit News "J Mine" segment as coming from season 18. The scripts for Episode 2302 and Episode 2322 (both from season 18) cite it as coming from season 17. No season 17 script includes the segment.
- All script references to Kermit News "Cinderella: Fairy Godmother" cite season 19 as it's origin, but no season 19 script acknowledges the first appearance (although the eka is 2442)
- "The Ballad of Casey McPhee": Season 13 scripts say first appearance is Episode 0516, while Season 10 scripts say Episode 0533.
- Episode 3537: Script says "Grover Heavy & Light" sketch appears in episode. Video reference confirms Two-Headed Monster skit in its place.
- Script for Episode 0551 lists "Kermit News Three Little Pigs" with a first appearance of 462, but the script for Episode 0462 has "Kermit Rapunzel" penciled in.
- Episode 1090: Script has a "Kermit News" bit at beginning. Noggin and CTW Archive doc from UMD have an E&B bit in its place.
- Season 13 scripts cite different firsts regarding Episode 1447:
- Episode 1683 cites Warren Wolf segment first appearing in #1447
- Episode 1659 cites "Alphabet Time (The Surgeon's Song)" first appearing in Episode 1505
- Script for Episode 1593 cites Victor Borge / Oscar bit first appearing in Episode 1181, while Episode 1295 script cites itself as first use of it
- "None Some All": some scripts cite first use as Episode 0585, others cite Episode 0615
- Filename and header of Episode 4124 is credited to Molly Boylan, but the "writer" field on the second page credits Joey Mazzarino. (it's probably Boylan, as ASCAP credits her for "You Can Do It if Trash Can")
- Episode 1277: CTW Archives program doc describes one bit as "Bob, Telly, and the kids do exercises"; Final aired version script doesn't have such a segment.
- Episode 1415: CTW archives doc lists one segment as "Miscellaneous: Song, Leslie Mostly". No Leslie Mostly segments appear in script (and appears to be replaced with Kermit News segment).
- Episode 1441: CTW Archives doc mentions a Deena and Pearl segment. Final aired script doesn't have any Deena and Pearl segments.
- Episode 1781: script missing bits between Scene 2 and "L-Lake" too, but there's no jump in item numbers.
- The script for Episode 1259 has a completely different street story from what ended up airing. The script's plot involved Oscar meeting Bruno and deciding to have his trash can moved to a different spot. While Bruno does appear in the episode as aired, he's only in one scene, which wasn't in the script. The episode's plot as broadcast ended up involving Big Bird wanting to be an animal trainer.
