    Muppet Crushes

    Between you, me and thousands of Muppet fans, my husband is like that when he gets sick, too. I think it's a guy thing. :insatiable: Whatever the case, I loved that Pebble Pox episode and yes, Gobo was over dramatizing quite a bit. My husband kept saying 'Der arme Gobo' (which is German for...

    Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series DVD

    I wasn't going to rebuy anything, it's too hard to get stuff from North America sent over here in the first place. I did see something on Ebay some time ago that looked like the British release of seasons 4-5, but I wasn't sure if they had released them yet. I had also considered ordering it...

    The not really Cave of the Great Bell

    I am so glad that you guys understand the depth of that. I thought it was one of the most thought provoking episodes that I had ever seen. I even watch that episode when it's not Christmastime...that's how much I love it. :)

    What's Wrong with Sweatpants?

    In Germany, where I now live, I actually had to get used to not wearing sweatpants in public at all. Here, they are considered rather like sleeping gear. Today, thirteen years after moving here, I only wear them at home on really cold days, and if I leave the house, I will change into pants...

    Muppet Crushes

    When I was 12 and 'Fraggle Rock' came on, I thought Gobo was just so adorably sweet. :smirk: If only I had been a Fraggle. I loved his voice and the way he said 'eh' all the time. I guess, I'm still rather fond of him. Today, I think if I had a muppet crush, it would be on Cantus, and of...

    Fraggle Rock fanfic: Everything Seems To Sing

    Oh good grief, this is just beautiful. I have tears in my eyes as I read that last part. Wow, Mokey leaving so that she could save Lanford. That's so noble. :cry: What can I say about this story that hasn't already been said? The writing is very good, the characters are so in character...

    The not really Cave of the Great Bell

    I think CS Lewis probably had the same idea when he wrote about 'Narnia'. ;) But, you're right, I never thought about the legend or the how's and why's too intensely. One thing was clear to me in watching that episode (one of my favorites btw.), the map did have the cavern shaped like a...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Oh that's what I'm counting on. Thanks for posting the lyrics to that wonderful song and for the wonderful welcome. Incidentally, one of my solos as a child was 'Rainbow Connection', so I really got into the music of the muppets early on. That was always one of my favorite songs, and I...

    Are these the new Fraggle puppets for the movie?

    The German Doc, according to Wikipedia, passed on in 1989. That is the version that we get of the show over here, which is really nice, because it feels like watching a show with German flair. The German Doc's name was Hans-Helmut Dickow. I always loved how he called Sprocket, 'Sprocky'...

    What are your stories?

    Hi everyone, It's ncie to meet up with you, and to know that I'm not the oldest muppet fan here. :halo: But I could be consider a bit nutty. Most of my online contacts call me Yva. Age: 37. What brought me here: My browser, I did a google search for Muppets because I was looking...

    Which Fraggle are you?

    I tried to take the quiz, and I couldn't, I don't live in the US or Canada and they wanted my address. I couldn't give one, so I had to skip. But, I'm probably most like Mokey, too with Traveling Matt coming in a close second.

    Muppet Version Of Young Frankenstein

    I love 'Young Frankenstein', and the Muppets and that is really a super cute idea. I could see J.P. Groosse as the Inspector too. Hahaha.

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    Hi everyone, this thread is fantastic! I have been writing fan fiction for over 15 years, mostly in other universes, but there are so many great tips here that it would make most people's head spin. I think that you folks have a great grasp of it, and when I eventually write a Fraggle Rock...

    Hi, I'm just getting my feet wet around here. I absolutely don't know why I didn't sign up sooner, it looks to be a very lively place. I'm 37 years old, live in Germany, and grew up watching the Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock religously. My husband is now as big into Fraggles as I am, which is...
