Should Ernie interact with Abby?

[Muppet Frog]

Whenever SW gets a chance to do new Ernie material, should he interact with Abby?

 

[Super Scooter]

... should he? No, I don't think so. That would be shocking to the general audience, I think. I mean, fairy and Ernie interaction should be very limited, even outside of the show. I wouldn't suggest they be seen together in the daylight, but should keep any relationship they might have hidden to the public.

... I'm sorry, it's just a very unusual question. I don't see the relevance of it. I suppose if the topic is how would they get along on screen, how would they compliment each others comedic abilities, that's a good discussion, and would encourage the thread to continue with that.

Why is it important that he does do that?

 

[Oscarfan]

Eh, I don't think they'd be very funny together.

 

[Muppet Frog]

I don't think he interacts with the girls a lot except for Prairie.

Maybe if Ernie interacted with Abby a bit on the show, it might help quell all those "rumors" about him and Bert, if you know what I mean.

Strictly speaking I don't see why there should be a problem with any combinations of characters interacting. After all everybody knows everybody on Sesame Street and more or less, they're supposed to be friends.

Of course some may not work quite as well together depending on Character personality and if they're voiced by the same Muppeteer that does make it difficult to accomplish.
But that's no reason why Ernie cannot once in a while say hello to Abby on the show.

I do hear, however, there will be a street story next season with Elmo, Abby and Bert looking for a rare bird on the street.

Hmm...Good idea, but how about with me instead of her? Just kidding.

After reading this thread, it hit me: Outside of "The King's Nose", it seems that he hardly even interracted with The Amazing Mumford. He seems like somebody who would enjoy volunteering at a magic show, much like Grover did.

But I think it would be better if Abby interracted with Bert. Ernie has interracted with quite a few other characters on his own, but Bert doens't seem to have any aquaintiences without Ernie.
