Ok, I need help. Does anyone remember a non-animated bit that I remembered seeing in the mid to late 80s. It was of an I beam moving through a steel factory type setting. It was all orange and hot, and the music playing was just bizzare?

That film that had the huge 'I' in the steel factory used to scare me as a kid, now I'm not anymore.

BTW, that film "Red-Hot I" was used on one of Noggin's Sesame Unpaved episodes-2558 from 1989 where Maria goes to the doctor right after Newsflash-Humpty Dumpty.

It was also used on a Season 24 episode with Maria and Luis (3117) and it was also used on a Season 25 episode where Zoe had to stay at Angela and Jamal's Day Care after her mommy left (3239).

I know I used to sit there as a three year old and try to figure out what the heck that big glowing warm-looking thingy was...

Red Hot I info

I HAVE the red hot I bit on DVD, 5 times back to back and I will burn copies for anyone interested. This is my absolute fav. skit on SS. It used to scare me so much when I was little, I remember it being aired in the late 70's. I used to cover my eyes, hide behind the coffee table, behind the couch, and cover my ears. I was convinced that thing was going to burn me. Danimal, I have lots of info on the Red hot I, email me for more info. boy_0077 at hotmail dot com
