    Anyone want to live in Fraggle Rock?

    There are a lot of fictional environments that I wouldn't mind at least visiting. Permanently living in them, however, would be an entirely different assessment. As someone who is involved with logistics, I know that the Fraggle Rock universe is not rational. It's a children's show by it's very...

    Baldness on Red Fraggle

    There are a lot of design quirks about Fraggles and Fraggle Rock in general. I never specifically noticed that aspect of Red's hair but it does remind me that there was supposedly an ancient Egyptian hairstyle for women where they were bald except for one tiny tuft of hair at the back of their...

    The water from the pipes

    There are many ways to respond to this question. Without being snarky, one response would be lifted straight from a lyric in the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" show: "You're wondering how they eat and breath and other science facts / Well, repeat to yourself 'it's just a show' and you really...

    Official: New Fraggle Rock full-length series in development, Classic Fraggle Rock arrives on AppleTV+

    Having now seen this trailer, my chief concern is the level of snark exhibited in the trailer. It's too self-referential. Compare, for instance, when Uncle Matt shows Gobo the entrance to "Outer Space" for the first time in the original series and what occurs in this trailer. There is a bit of...

    Official: New Fraggle Rock full-length series in development, Classic Fraggle Rock arrives on AppleTV+

    On the one hand, I am very excited that this show is getting new episodes. The trailer doesn't reveal anything significant. I'm indifferent about Mokey's slight redesign and would like to know the rationale behind it before I pass any judgment. My understanding is that having loose "frilly" hair...

    "Welcome To Pooh Corner" & "Dumbo's Flying Circus"

    Sorry to necro-revive this thread but I just noticed it. For anyone interested in these two series, it is a topic of concern with "The Lost Media Wikia." They have a running list as to which episodes have been found or not. Anyone with VHS tapes of these episodes may want to check the list to...

    The Fraggle Rock movie is still in development

    I'd like to thank everyone for their compliments to my earlier post. I don't really want to "rock the boat" but I also have a certain fondness for Fraggle Rock and I thought that I would share my thoughts on the topic. I keep trying to think of what more to add to what I have already written...

    The Fraggle Rock movie is still in development

    Honestly, if someone proverbially put a gun to my head and forced me to take over this brand, this is what my strategy would be (at the moment): 1). Produce a series of Youtube clips of 3-5 minute lengths. Release them about every 5 days or so. Make it an event; Have a countdown clock. The main...

    What if there had been a Season 6 of Fraggle Rock?

    Had Fraggle Rock gone to a "6th season" (my understanding is that HBO split the real 4th season into the 4th & 5th seasons that we know of), there likely wouldn't have been the series ending episode arc that we were given. Television series need a sufficient amount of time to ramp up production...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock returns to HBO, remastered in HD

    Having now watched the first episode, I'm not sure if this replaces my DVD collection. It's great that it's on HBO again and widely available but I didn't see anything spectacularly better than what I've already got with the DVDs. With no new footage, special intros or retrospectives, it's hard...

    Should Fraggle Rock be revived?

    I've jostled with this hypothetical over the years. In the end, my best response would be to test out the waters with some new, short segments: YouTube clips that would be no longer than 2 minutes, somewhat serialized but you don't necessarily need to see one segment to understand the prior or...

    Funniest Fraggle Rock Moment!!

    I don't know if it's the funniest moment but I always enjoyed the moment (if memory serves me correctly, Episode 118: The Minstrels) where Murray expresses his doubts about the Fraggles to Cantus. Cantus gives some sort of philosophical response and then leaves. Murray then turns to the other...
