Frank Oz did at least 1 skit last year featuring Grover...Outrageous Home Additions. I think he also did the Russian Global Grover food segment, but I can't remember.

He still contributes, just not as much. I still think he has a passion for doing those things, but Eric jacobson has done more with some of Franks roles than Frank has of date (Miss Piggy in MTI and MFS seemed pretty distant).

Well if they used there old clips that had Jim and or Richard they would give them credit.
That's a good thought. Except they still do play skits with Henson's Ernie from time to time. As for Hunt, in a way, I can see why he wouldn't get credit. Nothing against him or anything but you don't hear his voice too often on the show other than as Gladys in Ernie's apple tree song and "Doo Dee Rubber Duck."

They kicked Jim Henson off the credits list beginning in 2002 (I think). I really don't understand why, since they still use old clips of him occasionally.

And "Plants Can Grow High" (with Richard as one of the vegetables) is also stil occasionally shown.
