I thought Bert died years ago to teach kids about “death”.
Why can’t they just stick to spelling and numbers? They do a good job at that.
Perhaps you’re thinking of Mr. Hooper? (Except, he wasn’t a puppet.)
Next time they'll have to have him dieing from AIDs. They might as well go gay all the way if they're going to do this thing.
That was Mr. Hooper. When the actor who played him died, the character died too.
