The very last Ernie and Bert sketch before Jim's Death

[Don_Music_2004]

Does anyone know what the very last Ernie and Bert sketch is with Jim Henson performing Ernie? It would have been one of the sketches that was made in season 21. I'm not sure what Ernie and Bert sketches were made in season 21. Since Season 21 was never shown on Noggin. Does anyone else know the last time Jim performed Ernie?

Jim's last Ernie performance was probably the skit where Ernie and Cookie Monster count zero cookies in the box.

I thought that was older than that. I remember seeing that in the mid 80's.

That was Season 20, and it's one of the ones I've been longing to see again.

Wasn't the last E&B skit w/ Jim Henson the one where Ernie brings home a white fluffy dog?

No that was also sometime in the mid 80's. Iv'e asked this question hundreds of times but nobody seems to know. I'd be happy just to know what E&B sketches where made in Season 21, but nobody knows that either.

I know of the first sketch AFTER his death.

Hola Bert.

There are two that just came to mind.

Ernie demonstrates heavy and light. He holds a feather while Bert lifts a rock and a piano.

Bert goes out and realizes he forgot his wallet. He begs Ernie to open the door, but no answer. He then bangs hysterically on the door, Ernie answers and uses an excuse, which leaves Bert crying.

Could one of these have been the last? I could be wrong.

Actually, I was going to say the one about heavy and light. But I bet the wallet one only aired a few times. Here are a few others:

Bert & Ernie play the Opposite game

Ernie Counts Fruit

"Paper Clip" song

Chocolate Pudding Shopping List

But you know, the B&E sketches from the late 80s look almost identical to the ones from the early 80s, so sometimes it's hard to tell when they're from.

The Chocolate Pudding one was from the early or mid 80's, but I think the paper clip song was in fact from Season 21.
