A long time ago, when I not only didn't have TiVo but didn't have a TV, I was told that Bert from Sesame Street got leukemia a died. The idea being either to teach kids about terminal illness or to torture Ernie. I forget which. I was honestly pretty upset when I heard that. But I've had TV for quite a while now and TiVo now too and I have yet to see an episode with a lonely solo Ernie. Was this just a hoax? Seems like it must have been, but someone here must know one way or the other for sure.
