During the last couple of seasons Fraggle Rock ran on HBO, I would have a recurring dream wherein the characters would host the networks inter-show segments. You may recall that from about autumn of 1986 through till past the time the network stopped showing reruns of the show, they used an...

One other thing I'm interested in with the series: it's been said in other threads that only #3, #4, #6, #8, and #10 were used up until the series was retired in 1991. Would anyone happen to know when the last times the other 4 sequences were aired as far as you know?

Those are pretty good choices, I think. One person I would also consider is Due South's Gordon Pinsent, who has a Doc-ish quality to him.

I remember the character was used at least once in the mid 80s, enticing Telly to steal from Mr. MacIntosh's fruit cart.

It's amazing the first Kermit has lasted so long. Guess that coat was made quite sturdily.

It does seem a little ambiguous whether it was Grover's shrieks as he tore away at the bars or Cookie's wolf of delight as he starts devouring the cookies (equally hilarious) that ultimately woke the Sleezes up. While we see Sam coming to when the former happens, there's nothing that...

Telly was at his best in the mid 80s around when they made the voice change, when they REALLY played his character off Oscar's. And they go wonderfully together here as well, almost stealing the picture. That honor, however, goes to (Super) Grover. His two big comedic moments--when he slams...

Do you suppose that any such moratorium would also include the various JHTV logos seen on FR prints in the early 90s that have what's clearly Kermit's arm but not his actual face in them doing various things (holding up the sign the arrow shoots into the wall, pulling down the blind that snaps...

I've also seen it at Target for about $5. And while we're here, if anyone can assist, what's Oscar saying after he mumbles, "Picky, picky, picky!" and drives off road when Maria points out that he's not on Route 12? It's a little hard to make out with her and Telly screaming.

What I'm also hoping is that it'll prompt someone, anyone, to put the first run of the show back on the air just in case they don't, perhaps on the Family Channel or Hallmark Channel or the like.

Yep, I've always thought that was one of Oscar's very best character moments, period. Equally touching was when Big Bird imagined Snuffleupagus in the field and tried without success to embrace him. There's so much heart in this film in general that it surprises me that it hasn't had much of a...

I found the "bells and chimes" theme rather apocalyptic as well when I was young. Many times I would tune out just as the credits began so I wouldn't have to watch it (at least I only saw it with the purple background; the earlier black one would have made it worse). Now it's not quite as bad...

Yes it was. As far as my references say, it started some time in the early 80s, probably between 1981-83; Wikipedia proper claims it was last shown in 2001.

If he had--and whether the production team would have even thought of him is anyone's guess--I can imagine him possible lecturing on how using nonviolent means will often get you want you want with a minimum of fuss, or something along those lines. Alternately, they may have had him sing...

As it is, I randomly tuned in today and caught this very thing, as an Extreme Makeover parody, and thought that it sound a lot like the two of them doing Grover and Fat Blue again.

It was really a quite enjoyable set of segments. I always wondered how they made the glasses do some of the things they did, and now thanks to the Wiki networks I do. I did like the main character's voice a lot.

I think they said on this site's Season 2 set review they were going to see what the profits on that set would be (which should be analyzed soon by what that said) before they made the go-ahead decision (which I think personally will be in the affirmative; I think sales have probably been decent...

#10 wasn't really that rare as I remembered it. It wasn't the most shown one to be sure, but it still had a fairly steady airing rate through to the end of the series' run--steady enough for me to memorize 10 chocolate layer cakes as the delicacies he dropped at the end back then when I was...

Sometimes only parts of some sketches would be frightening to me. Three prime examples are (A) The aformentioned pyramid sketch when the statue first starts silently tapping Ernie and Ernie's freaked reaction (B) the Guy Smiley in the jungle conclusion when he comes face to face with the tiger...

Was it he who also did "Busy People" over the montage of people working ("Busy people; they work all day. People work and people play...")?
