Who's Abby Cadabby? :unsure:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

German Seasame Street at my time was partially home produced, partially bought from U.S. (mostly puppet bits like Ernie & Bert, Kermit, Cookie Monster, the Count, Grover, some cartoons etc.).

The actual "Sesame Street" bits were dubbed when my older sisters were little (70s?), then during my days replaced by German muppets/actors, which is what I grew up on (early 80s):

Kermit was cool but his laugh got on my nerves.  Edge to Big Bird.

Fairy chick they introduced a few years ago. She seemed the most commonly used character from the glimpses I got during my nieces' visit this summer.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Snuffleapagus....but only when he was invisible.

I don't know why but I went to check when they made that switch.

Apparently they didn't like the idea of adults not believing Big Bird when he told them about Snuffleupagus, because it might discourage kids from reporting sexual abuse.  Makes sense when it's stated that way.

Interesting explanation. I was always curious about that.
