That's right, an undefinable post.
I begin by wondering what is the connection between Fraggle Rock, Land of Gorch, and Dark Crystal? I seem to recall Terry once mentioned a Fizzwhig prototype from Dark Crystal was seen in an episode of FR(with Gobo singing) as were some plants, etc.
I also recall a Land of Gorch website believe it or not that drew a distinct connection between Land of Gorch(75/76) and the Dark Crystal Skesksis(1982) Now I know DC is Froud, and not really JHC in design...but still. Gorch is significant as it marks the first time JHC went a bit organic and edgier in looks for Muppet characters. This cross fusion of classic Muppets meets Creature Shop wouldnt happen until 1989 with the Jim Henson Hour.
For some reason I always envisioned a mighty epic Muppet film where Muppets, Fraggles, Sesame, etc alike band together to take on a menacing Skeksis threat.
I guess the closest we got was the Muppet Babies watching Dark Crystal.
