What Is The Best of Ernie and Bert About?
The premise of The Best of Ernie and Bert without spoilers.
Although presented as a selection of Ernie and Bert's moments, the program feels more like Visits with Ernie and Bert, given the difficulty of choosing highlights from over three decades of Sesame Street. A 30‑minute compilation includes only eight skits, leaving many beloved segments absent and disappointing fans expecting a broader selection.
