Hi. I'm "DetGoran", and I just registered onto these forums tonight. Why am I posting all in red? Because it's my favorite color. If anyone doesn't like it, I can switch back to black-colored font.

I've been posting messages on the imdb.com Sesame Street message boards for several weeks now. Although the people there are quite knowledgable, I have questions about a few skits that I remember from early childhood.

I was born in 1984, and probably watched Sesame Street from 1984 to about 1988. Apparently, there were a lot of classic skits during this time. Does anyone remember these skits:

  • The burning I-Beam. Lots of people on imdb.com were freaked out by this skit when they first saw it. I don't remember it scaring me, but it must have left an impression, as I (vaguely) remember it to this day. I have the music that played during this skit; it's very dark. I can understand why some kids were scared by this one.
  • Showing how saxophones are made. They played sounds of people testing the saxophones being made during the skit.
  • A baker baking a cake. The musical accompaniment to the skit was mostly drums.

Finally, I remember another skit involving Kermit. But I'm not sure if it's from Sesame Street. Does anyone have any information on the following skit?
Kermit was sitting in front of a red curtain (?) He was reminiscing about his early days in the swamp. I'm left with the impression now that he was either in a reflective mood or had been given something that made him think about his childhood (truth serum maybe?).

If you remember these skits, I'd love to hear from you. Does anyone know where I could find videos of these skits also?

Thanks.
Detective Goran
