Fraggle Rock returning to The Hub April 21, 2013

Considering Dave Goelz has been performing Matt 100% of the time since the puppet has been rebuilt and how much he loved doing the characters, I think Dave at least is on board.

11:30 AM Change of Address

Looks like they're alternating between comedy and drama with that lineup. I wonder if the final episode will confuse those who haven't seen the last few episodes. The Honk of Honks is a pretty significant episode, explaining why Doc is now aware of the Fraggles, and Gobo considers Doc a friend. Without it, the paradigm shift could seem weird.

Unless I'm missing something, we haven't seen anything to indicate that Wembley and Boober have new "helpers." I certainly hope that Goelz and Whitmire are on board, but if they aren't, I hope that they will train their successors.

That's how I feel too. I'm not going to assume they won't be back to perform the characters when they're available. That's why it's only Gobo and Red hosting. I wonder if they've gone for someone other than Matt for Gobo, due to them filming the Muppet film now, or if they had someone else in mind all along.

Still, I'd love to actually see this promo.

I saw the promo today. It was great seeing Gobo after many years, but I can't figure out who's performing him now. Anyone have any ideas as to who it is? I'm looking forward to seeing more of Gobo in the near future.

It's funny when Red points out that Silly Creatures call their adventures "episodes" and that she nor Gobo knew what an anniversary is, kudos to Karen there.

I saw the promo today. I can't tell who preforming Gobo. It must be someone who joined Henson after their post Muppet era. I think Matt Vogel would be a better choice. I'll have to find a way to make contact with Karen and ask her who played Gobo.

Saw the promo some minutes ago before the current Animaniacs cartoon, the one with the Ziegfried & Roy parody.

And I might be wrong, but I just naturally thought it was Matt voicing Gobo, thereby completing his successorship of all Jerry's characters from the three main branches of Hensondom.

Made me smile.

Does anyone have a video of the promo that they played on the Hub for the Marathon?

I've been asking Grant Baciocco on Facebook who played Gobo and he won't tell me. Maybe if all of us keep asking him politely, he'll tell us.

Um... I'm pretty sure if he doesn't want to answer, he's not going to answer to anyone.
