Repeat Sketches?

I noticed this in season 2, they have the sketch of Rowlf and Fozzie at the piano, singing and playing the song on the piano, something about starting at the top, and it gets faster. That was first shown in season one, but then it was repeated twice in season two. And then I just noticed that the "Actors Life For Me" sketch that Fozzie and Rowlf do in the Kris Krisstofferson and Rita Coolidge episode, is shown again in the Pearl Bailey episode. Why is that? Is there some other sketch that was supposed to be in its place?

Actually the Rowlf and Fozzie piano segment was in two season two episodes. Elton John and Jaye P Morgan. It's originally from the Jaye P Morgan episode. However for some reason it was also included in the Elton John episode in TMS season 2 DVD.

I have no idea as to why the repeat sketches in the other episodes. Something tells me the "Actors Life For Me" was originally intended to only air on the Pearl Bailey episode. Because the other sketch in the Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge episode with Floyd singing "New York State Of Mind" is also a repeat sketch. That was originally from the Madeline Kahn episode. I'm just gonna assume they didn't have enough material filmed for the KK & RC episode so they added those two at the last minute or something.

Sick of threads "Megan Fox should play this!"
