YES!!!!! The Muppets is the perfect look at both the sitcom-characters of comedy, but also just general improv vibes and archetypes. They all have the same goal, just a different approach. The conflicts always come out of their relationship and wants with one another, but some external force that feels artificial. They love each other, they need each other, even at times when they feel they don't.

totally agree, so much to learn from so much felt. helps explain why they've persisted over so many generations too - the dynamic must tap into something v universal
