I'd like to start a thread about references to Sesame Street seen appearing on shows other than Sesame Street. I can mention one instance I know of.
In an episode of a show called the weekenders, four kids happen to be in a restaurant where a baker is serving desserts. He announces the number and type of dessert, then trips and spills then on the kids. I personally do not remember the "baker" skits where Jim Henson falls down stairs with a tray of desserts, but I have heard them descibed so often I recognized this instance of a Sesame-crossover reference.

To me it is amazing that Sesame Street has become such an icon that other shows make reference to it. I am hoping other people have seen this phenomenon and can give more examples of it.

Also anyone wanting to give a better description of the "baker" skits may do so.

Big Bird appeared in an episode of "Soul Man". The cameos SS are virtually endless. This thread could go on forever if people post:wink:
