* ''Series/SesameStreet''. This can be considered of Elmo. Elmo skyrocketed to popularity after Kevin Clash took over the character, establishing the little red monster as the lovable and bright-eyed laugher with the unforgettable falsceto voice. Elmo continued to grow in popularity in TheNineties, especially when Tickle-Me Elmo hit the toy stores and became the top-selling toy in 1996. By 1998, Elmo had his own recurring segment on ''Sesame Street'', entitled, ''Elmo's World'', which lasted till 2012, when it was replaced with ''Elmo: The Musical''. At the same time, however, as Elmo became more and more of the driving force of ''Sesame Street'', some fans (particularly old-school fans) grew to find Elmo's over exposure to be overkill, and Elmo himself to be more annoying than lovable; it also doesn't help that ''most'' of Sesame's merchandising is pretty much relegated to Elmo products (not to mention, there's an unwritten rule that Elmo ''has'' to be featured on the covers of DVDs - even if he isn't featured in the content much - otherwise they won't sell).
