I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Roosevelt Franklin, too. Yes, there was some controversy about racial stereotype, but I loved Matt Robinson’s (Gordon), and Loretta Long (Susan) so much my own mom bought me a Roosevelt Franklin Muppet for my Sesame Street brownstone (cardboard) puppet theater.
I think Robinson’s response to the criticism of Sesame Street being “too white” by creating the character was justified, and I can remember vaguely the emotions running high surrounding politics and racism at the time.

“Miss Piggy and Kermit appeared on her [Parton’s] TV variety show, in 1987.
Parton tells this story about a discussion she had with her manager Sandy Gallin in her 1994 biography. Sandy said to her, “How can Kermit sing with a man’s hand up his ass?!” To which Parton replied, “That’s nothing; I did that for seven years on The Porter Wagoner Show !”
