Favorite Underrepresented Muppet?
I'm sort of in an odd mood, so here's an odd sort of question.
Everyone thinks of a particular muppet when they think of Jim Henson. Generally, it's someone like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Oscar the Grouch, or Bert (or Ernie). ...but most of us who grew up with them have a particular oddball favorite. Perhaps it's the Honkers from Sesame Street. Perhaps it's one of the Skekses from Dark Crystal. Perhaps it's Zoot. Perhaps a particular Fraggle.
In your personal opinion, which muppet has historically gotten less love than s/he should have gotten, and why?
Edit: Check out The Kermitage Character Guide or the Muppet Wiki for some inspiration, if you're blanking. (Thanks to dr_whom for the wiki link.)
I, like, I suspect, robotnik will go with Lew Zealand, if only due to love of frappage. See my icon for this post if you'd like a visual cue, but the short form is that he threw boomarang fish. "I throw the fish away, and it comes back to me!"
Second place in my heart would probably go to Doctor Teeth, who, to my elementary school mind, was perhaps the coolest muppet on the face of the Earth. My parents, I fear, thought I would grow up to take large quantities of drugs as a result of that perception, but then again, my mother always did worry overmuch.
