the same or remake?

This page mentions that this episode features a sketch where Cookie Monster disguises himself as Ernie and takes Bert's cookies. But could this sketch be the same as what's in the picture? In that picture, Ernie wears his more famous red and blue stripped shirt, instead of the purple and yellow oen from the first season. Cookie Monster also wears that outfit. I don't think any other known sketches where Ernie wears his current shirt are listed as being from the first season. Then again, it would be ironic if a sketch was made with Ernie wearing a different-colored shirt, only for Cookie Monster to also wear the different shirt and look like Ernie.

Does anybody know if maybe that sketch was remade later? Either with Cookie Monster or with a different monster (the info comes from the CTW Archives, but the paper with this info probably doesn't actually mention Cookie Monster by name, even if he was in the sketch)? That sketch does feature the original Cookie Monster puppet, but I think that unlike other characters, the same Cookie Monster puppet was used in the first two seasons before being rebuilt or altered. --Minor muppetz 01:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

That's a good point; Bert looks different too. The list says "Ernie/Disguised Monster Cookie Bit". Is there another first season sketch that would fit that description? -- Danny (talk) 01:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I bet it's one with Beautiful Day Monster. The one pictured here and in Episode 1037 is definitely not from the first season. -- Hilleyb 00:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
