Hey!
Does anyone remember a SS Muppet sketch from the 70's where three criminal type anything Muppets are at their hideout. Two of them leave and tell the third (nervous looking) one not to open the door unless he hears the secret knock. I think it was 3 knocks. Anyhow, while they're gone, the 3rd nervous Muppet talks to the camera and mulls over possibly forgetting what the knock was. The other two muppets return and knock once, then twice, then three times. Each time, the nervous one says "Was that the secret knock?" Eventually, the other two muppets start pounding on the door and the nervous one gets scared and runs out the back. I believe Jim Henson was voicing the nervous Muppet in a voice similar to Ernie's. I wish I could see this sketch again!
