Forward and Backward Skit

[bigbird]

Similar to the beginning and end skit, this one showed illustrations of forward and backward. It involved a man who I think did not want to follow the narrator's request to illustrate backward because he was always walking forward. The narrator then cleverly tells the man, "then we'll show you what backwards is". Now begins a series of things illustrated backward and they were hilarious. An airplane flying backwards, a chinese man writing(erasing)? something on a chalk board...the man is looking at him and asks "how did you that"( wondering how he was taking off what he wrote on the blackboard with chalk)....the chinese man said "Do what"? with a puzzled look on his face. I know there were other ones too but as usual I can't remember...LOL.
Finally the man co-operates and starts walking backwards too so as to be in tune with what's happening around him.

Interestingly enough, the music for that skit was written by Edd Kalehoff. It was the only piece of music he did for Sesame Street, but he worked on The Price is Right for many years, and he has written music for various news and sports shows over the years, such as ABC Monday Night Football, Inside Edition, and Nightly Business Report.
