Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

Just curious how Abby Cadabby has relation to Dora? Sorry, I’m not really seeing the connection.

I recall seeing the news report of her debut citing Dora as one of the inspirations for the character.

The bilingual explorer gave us Abby Cadabby, which destroyed the already working dynamic duo of Elmo and Zoe.

I am still pretty sad that the Elmo/Zoe dynamic is dead, but I will say the writers have found a pretty funny and cute dynamic in Rosita and Zoe since about season 47.

I know the reason the Elmo/Zoe dynamic slowly came to an end was because Ryan saying that he didn’t feel comfortable doing it and it’s one of those dynamics that really work with Kevin/Fran.

That makes sense. Personally, I do think Ryan's Elmo works better with Abby than Kevin's did.
Although, I do wonder what Ryan's Elmo would be like with Jennifer's Zoe, since we haven't seen much of that.

There was the bicycle episode that had the two together

Oh right, I forgot about that

...Except the dynamic died almost instantaneously around 2006. That's 7 years before Ryan became Elmo

Seems like you forgot the yearly episode where Elmo had to deal Rocko, Zoe's pet rock.

But that's the year that Abby was introduced.

I'm aware, but the amount of Abby and Elmo in comparison was staggering, and only involving Elmo and Zoe due to Rocko is iffy
