The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo REVIEW

The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo Mini-Review (S1: E10)

The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo is the Disney Star Wars of children's educational entertainment. The IP's new custodians have flayed everything that made the original special and left a lifeless husk of bright colors and loud noises vaguely shaped like Sesame Street in its place.
