I don't think the opening line by Jerry Nelson was necessary. If the cavemen didn't live in caves, they wouldn't be cavemen. It would've been better if the writer of this sketch just had him get to the main point, like, "Once upon a time, some cavemen had a king who loved to play outside." Sorry to be nit picky.
Whether that cavekid can read or not, he shouldn't have had problems at the end. There was only one sign in the cave, and he had already heard several times what it said. Plus, the door was already open.
Nice memory! The blue caveman sure knew how to forecast the future all right ('Clocks haven't been invented yet!') Now, if only all kings were like Ernie is in this skit (i.e. helping someone to read the sign so that he can go outside)! My (witty) thoughts, as always!
I'm actually willing to believe this story- up to a point. It kind of makes sense when you think about it. I'm thinking this is sort of approximately how EXIT first came to be.

I had not seen this one in a while either! I am very happy to have finely found it here!

I don't think it's the same Muppet actually. Just the same pattern.
