Abby Cadabby 

I don't know how I feel about the new sesame street character yet.  Her name is Abby Cadabby and she is the daughter of a fairy godmother.  Today was the first day she was on and they showed her "poofing" to Sesame Street, her new home.  Today she had to learn how to play hide and seek and count to 10.
This is what they say about why they brought her onto the street...
"We have our wacky, and we have our gentle. But we wanted a lead female character. If you think about The Mary Tyler Moore Show, some girls relate to Rhoda, who's our Zoe, and some girls really relate to Mary, who's a girly girl. And we didn't have that girl. We made a definite decision to sit down with the writers to figure out what this character might be." -- Liz Nealon
I don't know why they don't think Zoe is a girly girl.  She wears a tutu all the time and is all sparkly.  Do they think she isn't girly enough because she hangs out with Elmo and Baby Bear who are both boys?  Hmm
