"The first new titles scheduled to be released are the much anticipated Fraggle Rock: The Complete Final Season (Season 4) and Fraggle Rock: A Merry Fraggle Holiday in November 2009." http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/the-jim-henson-company-and,920760.shtml

I'm pretty sure the old titles can continue to be sold. The expiration of the HIT contract means they can't do more. This arrangement clearly shows Henson wants to do more home video, like the holiday title obviously meant for the end of the year. The final season was mentioned because it's a...

Just the break we've been waiting for: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?p=768693

Thank you to those who wrote to Henson asking for this! I know it's been a while, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. I wonder if they will be able to carry over the S4 bonus material (possibly co-owned by HIT) and if Fraggles Look for Jobs will make this stand-alone set. I also wonder...

Lions Gate, Jim Henson Co. sign distribution deal SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- The Jim Henson Co. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. said Monday they signed a distribution deal for more than 350 hours of content, including titles such as "Fraggle Rock: The Complete Final Season" and "Fraggle Rock...

The first link doesn't give any direct mention of FR and the second one doesn't work at all. But the Dark Crystal tidbit sounds promising.

Well, here's a snippet from Fraggles Look for Jobs. Why the heck wasn't this included on the final DVD? They knew we wanted it.

Yep. What I'd really like to see is Henson assigning someone to handle FR specifically. It would allow for better focus, with no need to try to find opportunities for other properties that just don't have the reach. For example, I would have preferred if HIT had focused on a boxset of the...

They could go with HIT again, but it would still require a new deal. The old one expired last spring. I personally think they should avoid HIT. They need someone who cares about the product they're handling.

I imagine Henson still needs a big-name distributor to help handle home video for their top properties, similar to their recent arrangement with A&E for Farscape. It probably doesn't stand much chance until they strike a new deal with either a general distributor or a brand-specific licensee.

It's great to see more Traveling Matt segments, with Odyssey Channel intros still intact. I guess those are many of the remainders that didn't make it to the DVDs. It'd be great if they posted all of them. I seem to recall two, in particular, that haven't been seen since Odyssey: one where...

That pic is indeed from Richard Termine’s collection, taken at the Henson townhouse. I didn’t know it was in rehearsal for the Disney World special. Great to see it again.

The philosophy of Fraggle Rock is something I find quite engaging and extremely multilayered. Most messages conveyed in the series are so much more than the simple tale or idea of “bringing peace to the world.” I believe much of what is covered in the final two episodes reveal how humans and...

Where did that schedule come from? They should really post that themselves. If it's accurate, however, it would seem time might be a more disconcerting factor than cost. Rushing like that would only serve to disappoint fans if it's late and, more importantly, provide a time crunch for all...

I have long wished for such a collection. The songs do stand on their own - even the more episode-specific, less commercially-friendly tunes - and they all deserve to be purchasable by those who want them. As someone noted in the past, the original songs do exist on tape. They just need to be...

Nothing sticks out with old-school singularity anymore. You have to dig to find what you want, unless it's this week's hot property.

The kids couldn't make that call if they wanted to.

The common denominator here is the Muppet franchise, not the owners. They're so far removed from their original popularity, unfortunately, that any sort of ascent to the top now is very difficult. Add to the fact that the media landscape is entirely different today, and you have one heck of an...

The Henson kids care about the Muppets very much, but they don't want to work with them. They want to do their own thing.
