Yeah. 2. Still baffling why he was only in a pinch of sketches (not even close to a handful) this season. Sure the Number of the Day song did guarantee him an appearance in every episode, but we couldn't get a lousy street story with him in there? There wasn't a self regulation concept they couldn't bludgeon into the audience that utilized him?

Other than that, I really am not the one that usually says "such and such character didn't appear, HARRUMPH!!!" but considering they pretty much had the character recast for understudy reasons before Jerry passed, it's just strange. But we got more Ernie, so that balances it out.
