Despite the fact that Sesamstrasse hasn't had an actual new episode in over a year (they've been re-using street stories and sketches), they have made some new stuff with Ernie and Bert for the German channels. Here's an example of each:

Ernie and Bert sing with celebrities:

Ernie and Bert Fairy Tales (with cross-dressing!):

I hope that we get some new E&B material next season as well.

It's official! You see Ernie and Bert MORE on German Sesame Street than the Sesame Street they came from. :zany:

Even more in Sesamstraat, the Dutch one. (The intro song is LOL in Dutch, really.)

That's it, I've made up my mind, I'm moving to Germany! :frown::stick_out_tongue:

Just goes to show, we in America always think the way we do things is the only way, but that's far from true.

Germany LOVES Ernie and Bert. Rubber Duckie (the German version, naturally) was a HUGE hit over there at one point... I think the techno version...

Look at these Sesamstrasse albums Some of them are actually all new stories recorded as Ernie and Bert by the German voice dubbers.

Elmo's big everywhere else, but Ernie and Bert are king in Germany.
