Fritz's World

An exciting and awe-inspiring glimpse into my life: movie reviews (which are replete with spoilers), Penn State football, Washington Nationals, and life here in the nation's capital. Can you handle it?

Long live Bert and Ernie!

You'll allow me a moment of great sentimentality, but when I was a little kid, I lived for "Sesame Street"—especially Bert and Ernie, the in-house comedian-straightman duo. I loved Bert and Ernie so much that one year, when I was maybe five or six, my father and I marched in the town's Halloween parade dressed in Bert and Ernie heads that my mother made for us. (I wonder if she still has them somewhere back home.) Anyway, I found this little video clip recently, and boy did it take me back!!!



One lovely Friday night two summers ago, I actually found a little cartoon book with this song in an Annapolis bookstore—and I haven't been able to find it since!

But here are a few other Bert and Ernie clips for your enjoyment—and mine! :)







Let me just go on record by saying that Jim Henson was a genius. His work was groundbreaking, he left this world before his time, and he is sorely missed. But thankfully his legacy still lives on.
