Why is Bert not on Sesame Street much anymore?

[Barry Lee]

You know I hated Ernie but Loved Bert when I was little.

How did the title of this thread change?

 

[Phillip]

I updated it. Thought it was clearer now.

How about in future Journey to Ernie segments, they replace Big Bird with Bert?

 

[Censored]

Or better yet, replace Journey To Ernie segments with regular Ernie And Bert skits.

Bert is still around, they just hardly ever show him anymore cause kids like Ernie a lot better, and kids can identify with Ernie better.

Sesame Workshop is teaming up with National Geographic to produce a new one-hour special featuring Ernie and Bert. The special finds the duo travelling around the world,kind of similar to the "Global Grover" segments.

Yes, Bert is still around. This morning, in episode #4075, I saw a Bert and Ernie clip for the first time in which Bert sings, "There's a Tiger in My Book." Yes, I've seen the original animated version, but is the Bert and Ernie version new for Season 35?

I've seen that one a few days ago. That was a good one. I wonder if that was Frank or Eric who performed Bert. Oh well, any way I think they're showing Bert a little bit more this season then they did last season.

Or better yet, replace Journey To Ernie segments with regular Ernie And Bert skits.

That would be a good idea. Or, I might have mentioned this before, but they could maybe replace JTE with Ernie's Show and Tell instead of showing that segment after JTE. Then maybe there will be more of a chance we'd see a vintage Bert and Ernie skit after the show and tell segment. Just a thought.

Ernie and Bert skits

I agree, we need more vintage Ernie and Bert !! THat is the best thing about Play With Me Sesame- lots of Ernie and Bert.
