I think that henson should do another Fraggle Rock production. It woud be great to se a new season.
Since we live in a hyper modern community today, doc could invent some really modern stuff, like a teleporter or something, and accedently teleport matt out to the modern world, to explore...
I have been comparing Fraggle Rock in english and swedish, and have come to the conclution that the swedes did a h*ll of a good job with the voices.
Gobo - Sounds basicly like the english version, although in swedish he has a little more bass in his voice. The English one sounds a little more...
Just thought of something i have been wondering about. i wonder how one would make cheeks on the puppet, as the fraggles have. (Can you tell i want to make a fraggle? :D)

You know, i was watching Fraggle Rock, and was looking at their eyes and i thought, hey, i haven't figured out how to make those kind of eyes for my puppets... :rolleyes:
does anyone know, because i am getting ready soon to assemble a puppet, and i will need some eyes....
Thanks!

My first try at a handpuppet was a total disaster....
Sure, making beaker and Sam models was easy, but when i tried to make a handpuppet, it just screwed up for me. Well, everyone needs practise in the beginning. At least i know where i went wrong...

Well, i wanted to learn how to build muppet-type puppets. So i came here about 2,5 years ago, starting to ask people questions on how to build muppet type foam puppets. I got some really good hints and tips from a number of people.
