Any word on a seperate Complete Season 4 release

No one should feel forced to buy anything. Keep in mind, however, there is no sign of an individual Season 4 at the moment, the future of the Fraggles on home video is unclear and the complete series has been significantly reduced in price (and could possibly drop further).

Drtooth, have you seen Lionsgate's plans for the 25th anniversary edition of classic TMNT's 7th season?

I'm of two minds on that. I'm more disappointed they apparently have trouble with episode placement of one episode and a prime time hour long special. Of course, big a TMNT fan as I am, I don't got anything past season 3. even then, I'm missing 2 volumes of season 3. I like the toys, but I'd rather buy them separate.

The only thing that ticks me off about Lionsgate is that they're holding onto a license for the original Dragon Ball series (the first 13 episodes) and it's keeping Funimation from releasing them uncut in box sets, ala DBZ and DBGT. Bulma giving Roshi a peek NEEDS to be release on DVD in the US.

I've never cared for Lionsgate. Any company that prints their stock market code on the back of their DVDs (instead of, say, their customer service contact info) clearly has their priorities in the wrong place.

And like you, I don't have any Turtles DVDs past three or four. I gave up on them once they stopped restoring the episodes. However, this new collection does stick out as something of potential. Maybe they'll do it right this time.

I was very lucky that my relative was able and willing to buy the set for me. In my current situation, I would not have bought the set on my own (at its original price), no matter how much I wanted it. Sometimes you just have to be patient.

HIT's former distributor, Fox, is pulling the same routine with The Mary Tyler Moore Show, a series whose season DVDs have been incomplete much longer than Fraggle. TVShowsOnDvd predicts the last three seasons, soon to be available only in one big complete series box, will be sold separately later on...

How come? Is it just 'cause they get scratched? I just got the complete series for my birthday today (fortunately I only bought season 1 so that's my only double)... just wanna make sure I'm not missing out on a disc I should get replaced.

EDIT: nevermind... I saw the other thread about the disc replacement thing. Fortunately, none of the discs in my set were scratched... in fact only 2 were out of their sleeves.

Since i bought the big box now because i didnt had the first 3 season im quite happy ( has to arrive still ).

If you guys still looking for season 4 Fraggle Rock i suggest visit ebay.com.au or http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/796327.
Its out of stock at ezydvd.com.au atm but cost around 20$ plus shipping.
All you need is a regionfree DVD player and a Pal capable TV or a computer and Anydvd ( only for regionlock ).

Oh btw im not aware if doc is played by a different person there some goes for traveling matt.

Almost every tv made in the last seven years I've seen has been able to play PAL, so that should be no trouble for anyone. The world is much smaller now

when i get home from a trip this week end i think i am going to buy the complte fraggle rock . that is a still

i really like this show and would watch it often

i would wait for a re release but it could be years even with the fraggle movie coming out

who knows may not be years either but i do not want to take a chance the prince is a steal and you get free shipping

This is so silly. I must have spent $60 or so on the season sets... and if they keep doiong this... no one will buy season sets anymore, and wait for a complete set. The complete sets are never made unless the season sets do well. So really the company won't be making money after all.

How is it that the Fraggle merch. isn't ever able to complete a set? Theres the little plushes, the tiny plushs, then the large plushs and now the DVDs

Lionsgate was the reason they made such stupid decisions on the DVD release as of late. The retailors didn't want to sell any more Fraggle Merchandise because it wasn't a humongous splash. That's why the plush were never completed. So the DVD was the company's fault... but the plush wasn't Sababa's fault. They DID make the prototypes... it's up to them to make future series of merchandise, just not up to them to sell them.

I think HIT also had a hand in the DVD fiasco. Things were going smoothly until they dumped Fox for Lionsgate. Hopefully, with their new licensing arrangement, Henson will get a big-name distributor to release the fourth season properly.

A potential concern with that situation, however, would be how to carry over bonus material not completely owned by JHC.

No, i wasn't saying it was ONE company that had been making the plushes, and DVDs... just explaining the curse that they Have in not being able to have complete sets.

Considering how FOX handled Inspector Gadget... a one disk 3 episode 15 dollar release they canceled anyway... I wouldn't be surprised if they wound up screwing HIT too. Lionsgate is never a good choice for DVD releases... they hold on to a license they haven't made money off of since Clinton left the White House (Dragonball's first 13 episodes)... they show interrest in releasing terrible sitcoms that no one would buy, since they rerun them constantly on Tv anyway 5 times a day (ABC's 2002- 2004 sitcoms)... and the one good thing they've done, the video quality looks like a bootleg, and they managed to miss 3 episodes for some reason (TMNT). I don't understand why they needed a partner to release anything, if they're a big world wide company....

HIT may be "world wide," but their contemporaries (Warner Bros, Paramount, Fox, Lionsgate, etc) have much more reach and experience with home video - only one area of operations - than a smaller company who only dealt previously with single-disc DVDs. Jumping to box sets is pretty big.

If Brandolution produces any home video, they'll probably do the same thing.

Curious, as i own the season sets to TMNT... which season is missing episodes, and which three?

One TV "movie" called "Planet of the Turtleoids" and an episode called "Once Upon a Time Machine." They're apparently confused about where to put them, since they have conflicting season episode guides. A lame excuse, since Season 1 came with 4 season 10 episodes.

While still present on their corporate page, HIT Entertainment has removed Fraggle Rock from their press website, another confirmation that their work with the show and Henson is done.
