It’s charmingly true to the character, who in retrospect has the kind of insistent energy, nosiness and thirst for attention that makes him perfect for late-night. “Not-Too-Late” is actually closer than “Muppets Now” to the format of the old “Muppet Show,” with chaos backstage and Bert and Ernie squabbling in the control room. But the spirit is all Elmo.

It's a fun extension of the 'Sesame Street' brand and a good way for kids to get into the fun that a talk show format can be.

"The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo" is definitely less wry than that show ["The Sack Lunch Bunch,"] but is created with the same kind of intentionality. For all its subtle nods to the adults in the audience, at the end of the night (well, evening, since Elmo's bedtime is at 7:30pm) it is a show for children, in all the best ways.
