Sesame Street has just welcomed its first new female muppet in 13 years, Abby Cadabby. Abby, the daughter of a fairy godmother, is reported to be "an inquisitive 3-year-old fairy-in-training." It is great to have another female muppet on Sesame Street, especially since the current count, including Abby, is four female and 12 male muppets (if you count Super Grover and Grover as two different muppets). So welcome Abby but darn it Sesame Street can't we have a female muppet who does science. I'll bet Sally Ride wouldn't mind becoming a muppet. .
