As a child, I watched Sesame Street daily. I loved the Muppets (and still do!) and think Jim Henson was so much ahead of his time in his progressive children’s programming.
I have to say however, that one particular skit involving Ernie and Bert in Egypt was enough to send me running for my “Mummy!” It absolutely terrified me…
And you know, after watching it again just now for the first time in years…it still freaks me out just a little! >:-)
LOL that was my second all time favourite Muppets sketch!! The one when they are in a boat and Ernie scrams “Here fishy fishy fishy” and the fish jumos in the boat, much to Bert’s astonishment, is my #1. I understand what you mean by it being a bit scary though! Can you remember the song that went with it?
