Before I begin I should state now that I adore Jim Henson. There is something that has been bothering me though. Why is Kermet the Frog the leader of like the entire gang? How did he earn this position of leader? Think about it, he's just a flimsy little frog. Has none of the other characters bothered to vie for that position? I bet Fozzy could take him. So could Animal. What about that huge muppet, what's his name.... SWEETUMS! Not to mention that Kermet is practically a slave to a narcissistic pig. That can't be a good political move on his part. Look, it seems that he's nothing more than a push over. At least Sesame Street has "BIG" Bird and Mario is Nintendo's plumber even when he's "shrooming". Those chracters posses qualities that promote leadership. Kermet does no such thing and he is the only iconic leader who questionably sits at the head of his own world's table.
"Well, what about Mickey Mouse? He hasn't done anything really special as head of the Disney body..."
"Oh thanks, Nathan. Look what you made me type."
