Everyone CALL CALL CALL CALL Disney. Also, you can contact Henson Company and let them know that you want them to step in an take action on your behalf. Let them know that as muppet fans you really want their films in widescreen. They don't have direct control over these titles that Disney owns...
After the debacle with the Pan-and-scan Muppet Treasure Island and Christmas Carol is dealt with, it will be time to start targeting a campaign to Henson about this with even more "umph". Great to see so much interest out there in Fraggles Rock!
Hey...are any of you still waiting to get the...
I've received enough email requests to prompt me to try and do another "run" of some Fraggle CDs. The CD contains all the songs from the 2 out-of-print LP albums except "catch the tail by the tiger" which you can get on the commercially available CD (which you should buy if you haven't already)...
Here's something else we can do too...
contact Henson directly and tell them we want Fraggle Rock on DVD...that we want the *all* and we want them in *order*....

I'm in Wash DC. What type of CD burner/recorder do you have? Maybe I could send you a CD and you could copy it?
Feel free to email me at dvdboulet@hotmail.com and we can talk more. I probably won't get a chance to check my email till tomorrow morning.
later!

I've already burned a high-quality CD from the 2 out-of-print LP albums "Our Melody" and "Perfect Harmony" I used a Tascam DAT machine and first vacuumed the LPs on my friend's VPI record cleaner. We used a $5,000 Oracle turntable and Benz cartridge. The resulting DAT tapes sounded so good that...
Yes I do.
If Disney got a hold of Henson Co. I've got a good feeling that if consumers like us gave consistent input that we wanted the Fraggle Rock Series to be made available that, after a while, they'd oblige us. (humorous dig about the non OAR issue :) )
Do you know any info as to the...
Exactly.
I don't view it as being overly-optimistic. I just view it as needing a little patience and dedication.
EVENTUALLY if enough fans keep telling Henson they want Fraggle Rock (and they want them all) we'll get them. We might have to wait a while...but we'll get it.
I've been very...
That's exactly the idea.
Right...the casual viewer wouldn't know a "compilation" disc from a disc with 6 chronological episodes...nor would they care.
To the real fan, however, they do care and they want them in order. So this is a simple win-win.
I think the reason why so many...
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
On a single-layer DVD we could get 4-6 episodes. Dual-layer DVDs could store more + extras. Either way the discs themselves could be priced between $15 and $20 each.
Hopefully, just as with the Muppet Show, South Park, and other series that have cult-fan...
hence why it's important to let them know just how badly the fans want the entire series.
Maybe. Maybe not. Many studios have viewed products as not having a large enough appeal to be profitable as "season" sets...only to discover...because the fans let them know...that there *was* an appeal...
If it was clear that there was a strong demand for the entire series...then the marketing department would try to take advantage of the opportunity.
media people are releasing Muppet Treasure Island in Pan and Scan only. Media people decided that "The Last Emperor" didn't need a new transfer...
Oh my Gosh...THE Karen Prell has posted in the same thread that I'm posting in...I feel *so* cool right now I can hardly stand it :)
Karen, Just so ya know I (like thousands of others who've said the same thing I'm sure) have had my life changed for the better by Fraggle Rock and your...
in addition to signing the petition, feel free to contact henson co directly via phone and email to let them know you want Fraggle Rock on DVD...that you want them ALL and you want them in ORDER. Several people calling or writing Henson may have more weight than 100 people signing the petition...
I've spread news of this petition to other sites like the hometheaterforum.com site which has lots of muppet fans:

Those of you signing the Fraggle Rock Petition,
PLEASE PLEASE make it clear you want the complete series on DVD and that you want the episodes in order of release.
If we don't make this point clear, we just might get our Fraggle Rock DVD in the same "best of" or "highlights" variety that...
