While that may be true, in season 46, after Ryan became more comfortable with playing Elmo, some of the stuff with Elmo and Abby became quite entertaining. Even in episodes that basically had no plot like 4707, Ryan would make it funny with his performance as Elmo, like when he went nuts about loosing his cowboy toy, "Elmo and Abby can't play Cowboy because Elmo lost Clipity-Clooop!" And then Abby'd say, "Well we can still play cowboy." And then Elmo would go "How Abby? Hooooooow?!" I think DrTooth said Ryan and Leslie have better chemistry than Kevin and Leslie. The fact that they were both hired for Sesame Street in the same year probably has something to do with it.Abby is always blamed for Elmo for pretty much stripping away Elmo's dimensions. In a way, I can kind of see it, because they were desperate for Abby - as a female Muppet - to reach Elmo's level of star power. Drtooth has often pointed out what the problem is: Elmo has no chemistry with Abby the way he did with Zoe, so there's really no dynamic between Elmo and Abby like there was with Elmo and Zoe. Zoe could bring out a side of Elmo we don't see too often, particularly whenever she throws Rocco into the mix - her infatuation with Rocco drove him crazy and he could get flustered and exasperated with the way she'd treat Rocco like a living, breathing thing, when he'd always exclaim, "But Rocco is just a rock!" There wasn't anything like that going on with Abby, and since they started pairing Elmo with Abby more and more and with Zoe less and less, we were seeing considerably less of that side of Elmo.
