I thought I read something about how Grover was the main character, intended to be a little older than the viewers, while Big Bird was supposed to be a little younger and more of an audience surrogate.
Of course that all depends on your own definition of what a "main character" is, but it's hard to deny it became The Elmo Show at some point.
