    Billionaire Saban in Talks to Buy Muppet Makers

    I can see it all now - "Mighty Morphin' Power Fraggles!" (Guess who would be the Red Ranger...) Well, nice to have some new speculation to liven things up. As usual, I heard about this first on Muppet Central. Good job, Phil! At this point, I'll believe it when it really happens. It...

    Question for Karen Prell

    What they said. Yep, that wasn't me. I didn't get a chance to perform with Jim while I was on Sesame Street. He and the gang were in England busy finishing up work on the Muppet Show at that time. I sort of remember the song - I think it was done before I started in 1980. I didn't know...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    Hi Folks, I saw that some addresses for Henson execs were posted for people to contact. I'm worried about these people being bombarded with requests for Fraggle DVDs. Hensons are not a huge corporation like Disney. They are a small company and at the moment everyone is tied up with...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    Doc's alive and well Jessie - I spoke to Gerry Parkes in Toronto a few weeks ago and he's fine and still working. And still sounds like our beloved Doc! You're probably thinking of Fulton McKay, who played the Captain in the early UK Fraggle shows. Yes, he did pass away, oh, around 10...

    Another Destitute Muppet Fan

    Hi DW, Sorry to hear your news too, but yes, having a positive attitude is really going to help. Hey, maybe you and Byron should go into business together as private investigators who do voiceovers! (Or at least team up to write a sitcom about it) Good luck with the voiceover work...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    Spreadin' the word Well, my husband Mike just went off to the Pittsburgh Comicon ( http://www.pittsburghcomicon.com ) armed with a pile of little leaflets I printed up promoting the Fraggle DVD petition (and Muppet Central, by the way). He says that every time he does a convention several...

    Who are you?

    Oh, THIS is where everyone is checking in. It's been good to catch up with all the familiar names again and meet new folks as well. Hi everyone! Yep, I'm the one that got the amazing chance to inflict Red Fraggle on you all and it's all thanks to Jim Henson. I've done all kinds of freelance...

    Hi Byron, Sorry to hear your news. The job situation seems to be tough all around these days and it's scary not knowing what's around the corner. Good luck and here's hoping you find something even better - in time for your birthday! Karen
