Old Sesame Street, Bert dies?

Question

I vaguely remember there was an episode of Sesame street (early 80's) where either Bert (or Ernie) died of cancer. Then after an episode or 2, they decided it was too traumatic for children, so they brought him back like nothing ever happend.

Is this true or did my childhood imagination get out of hand? lol No one else seems to remember it.

Answer 1

It was your imagination. No such "Sesame Street" episode was ever made,much less written.
