Question about Couch Openings (I Love Lisa)

Today, The Comedy Network aired Episode #074 I Love Lisa (9F13). I wish they hadn't, but ....

I was looking at the episode capsule while the episode was on and noticed that the couch opening was different. The episode was completely uncut, but the couch opening was not what is written in the episode capsule:

A four-armed, one-eyed green octopus-alien enjoys a can of soda on the Simpsons' couch. It makes its escape through a trap door in the floor before the family arrive. The Simpsons leap on the couch---and they all fit.

Elsewhere on snpp.com, I found this:

Looking for episode 9F13, I saw this couch opening:

Everybody forms a chorus line, which turns into a large production number.

This is the couch opening I saw. Is there a mistake in the capsule, or on the couch opening list or am I missing something here?

Sounds like the capsule needs a revision. Good eye, son!

The couch opening from the capsule is probably the one that was in the episode when it aired for the first time on February 11, 1993. I went to Google Groups and found messages about that:

Maybe someone who taped the episode on that day can check. Then it was replaced for some reason (Why?) with the one I saw yesterday for the uncut versions. It was also replaced for the cut version with the one that someone else described, when the family runs to the couch and they are already there. That's the one marked with a * here:

I wish they would just leave the episodes as they were the day they of the first broadcast! There are probably other capsules like that...

There's a page called "Broadcast Ambiguities" on Snpp somewhere... (searching)...

Ah, yes... KARRR DAAAAACHH!

By that I mean:

Ok, thanks, maybe someone will submit this one to snpp someday.

The things on 'Global' on that page are meant to be in Canada,right? Well that's probably where Sky One get the episodes from,as they have exactly the same ambiguties as there. eg-We see the 'Shoulders up' version of mating from 'Two dozen and one greyhounds' but we don't see Frank Grimes get electrocuted,just the sizzling sound and shocked co-workers.

Hmmm, here on my local channel, that episode showed the one where the family is already on the couch. You know, the one with two OFF's.

Yeah, those are the standard syndie episodes. They tacked that couch gag onto a whole WACK of them.

Dr Music P.S. Parking was ample.

Yes, that's the couch opening they use on a bunch of episodes when they were cut:

Reminds me of the time that Sky kept replacing the Pyramid couch gag (Radio Bart etc) for no reason.
