Could Fraggle Rock have been considered for ITC?

[minor muppetz]

The Muppet Show and first two movies were big hits, and were all originally done by ITC, who then did The Dark Crystal.

Fraggle Rock was not produced or distributed by ITC, but do you suppose Jim Henson had considered pitching the show to ITC?

Given the success of TMS and the movies, it seems possible that Lord Grade would want to finance more Henson productions (though I guess he was a little hesitant about The Dark Crystal). Of course during filming of The Dark Crystal management at ITC had changed and didn't see eye to eye with Jim, leading him to cut further ties with the company. But Jim Henson started talking about Fraggle Rock before The Dark Crystal began production - plenty of time to at least consider doing another show for ITC (before deciding not to).
