    I remember when Elmo was so popular that he outshined the rest of Street.

    I mean, there was a toy back in the 90s that was aggressively over hyped. And as Children’s Television Workshop was privatized, turning children’s programming into a commodity was all that mattered. But Kermit went through the same cycle in the 70s/80s, then fell out of fashion.
