Doesn't cult classic refer to something that isn't necessarily popular or well-known within pop culture, let alone the general public, yet has a dedicated following of its own fans just the same? I really don't think the Muppets, or anything else you mentioned kind of fall into those categories, since they are big parts of pop culture.
Hmm, you know, I often have trouble understanding the definition, even when reading it.
The Muppets are and have been popular, but a number of fans here have mentioned that the fandom often seems "underground". I saw Looney Tunes and various Peanuts specials and movies (including the two best-known Peanuts specials of all time) listed under cult classics, and I would think those are as well-known as the Muppets (so in my mind, either the Muppets belong, or Looney Tunes and Peanuts don't belong).
I thought The Simpsons wasn't listed, but I was looking again and saw that it was on the list.
