Season 37 of Sesame Street begins on August 14th and when it does the world will be introduced to a new Muppet: Abby Cadabby. Abby is the first new female character in 13 years. She is a young, pink "fairy-in training" and is the daughter of a Fairy Godmother. According to Sesame Street, her catch-phrase will be "that's so magic". While the character does seem overtly marketable, the addition of a strong female muppet was long overdue and should be applauded.Along with the introduction of Abby, Season 37 will also feature guest appearances by Jamie Foxx, Matt Lauer, Amy Sedaris, and John Legend.

Dang...I have flipped through here and am a little surprised to find such a place where you are doing the same stuff (I just loadedup my netflix queue with sesame street) have been recommended pb&e's many times (but it is a 45 min drive away)
and i like the book and music recommendations and am thinking i really have to dust off that record player in the garage and get it hooked up SOMEWHERE that I can play it...
