They do, or did, on Sesame Street. I think. I believe there was a time where Cookie Monster and Grover were on screen at the same time and one of them was Frank for sure. Can't remember now, but it was neat seeing the two characters done live.
Anyhoo, it's sad Frank seems to want nothing to do with the Muppet Show Muppets, but all things considered I'm not shocked. He wants to be taken seriously as a director. If only he weren't so talented as a puppeteer. I wonder if Jim Henson were still alive, would Frank be so wanting to totally move away from the Muppets. I know he started moving away from them back in the late 80's (one of the reasons the Jim Henson Hour didn't have any of franks characters I believe) but he still did stuff.
Bottom line is Eric does a great job. I enjoy his Fozzie and his Sam Eagle. His Piggy is very good and seems to have good timing with Steve's Kermit, but I think he forces the voice too much.
