On 'Sesame Street,' Elmo gets a puppy (cue adorableness)

By MARK KENNEDY

NEW YORK (AP) — “Sesame Street” is about to get a whole lot cuter.

Elmo, Grover, Abby Cadabby and the rest of the Muppet gang are introducing a new character to the show this summer — a white-and-brown puppy named Tango, The Associated Press has learned.

“We wanted to explore that special bond between children and pets by introducing this new character,” said Kay Wilson Stallings, the executive vice president of creative and production at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind “Sesame Street.”

Tango will join “Sesame Street’s” 52nd season as both an animated character and a live-action Muppet, debuting this fall on HBO Max and streaming on PBS KIDS in 2022.

early '70s I used to watch Sesame Street with my young son. If he was taking a nap I watched it by
myself and have always enjoyed it either way.
