I couldn't find any previous mention of this on the forum, so I think it's news. Screen Archives Entertainment produces a large amount of film and television music on CD: a lot of (typically) rare material on a very regular basis. They have three CDs available featuring music from select...

Corey Edwards' blog As mentioned on the Muppet Newsflash, Corey Edwards is chronicling his work on his personal blog: www.coryscuriosities.blogspot.com He only has two posts so far regarding the Fraggles, but they are interesting to read. One reader's comment I found very cool: Hi ya...

With the animated series already digitized for the Australian release (and with DVD sales continuing to do well in the US), I would anticipate an American box set before too long.

Thanks for the info; all three speculations sound very valid and hopefully we'll hear more soon. I think the most important factor might be time. It originally sounded (to me anyway) a bit optimistic to be able to produce two deluxe collector's items properly for the fall. Especially since...

Bad news from Insight Checking their website, insighteditions.com, I noticed on their "Forthcoming Titles" page that they have several books coming in the fall, with Fraggle not among them. Since there was no listing, I decided to e-mail them and ask about it. They replied saying that the...

from the Henson website... THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY JOINS WITH THE JIM HENSON COMPANY TO BRING “FRAGGLE ROCK” TO THE BIG SCREEN Live Action Musical Rebirth of Classic Television Franchise NEW YORK, NY and HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 13, 2008) - Furthering their partnership in creating high-quality...

Didn't Jerry Juhl complete a draft for the movie before he passed?

Yeah, nothing new. But at least they're continuing...

No artwork yet, but a release date: June 30th. http://www.amazon.com/Fraggle-Rock-2009-Calendar-Entertainment/dp/0768892341/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209513579&sr=1-11 This year's calendar has a lot of images we don't often see (some I had never seen). I hope they continue that :)

Are there any updates yet for this book? Amazon put up a page for it shortly after it was announced, but it's gone now...

I hope we'll see the entire 13-episode run on DVD after the 4th season set is released here in the US in October.

Puppetry will always be more organic than CG, but if the story isn't interesting and sincere and the characters aren't interesting and sincere, I don't think it really matters which you use.

I believe that scene is from The River of Life (in my opinion one of the very best episodes). http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_River_of_Life

Good to know, Greg. Perhaps a late October release (rather than early September) will allow for a really great finish on the bonus material. Can't wait!

But I'd like to add that I am not a fan of Lionsgate either. Their quality control on the TMNT single-discs were good at first, but then they stopped cleaning up the episodes, and made up for it by adding previews to their discs. Ugh.

Exactly. Lionsgate will most likely have the same influence Fox did, which was virtually nothing. Henson and HIT are the ones making the creative choices.

So it seems Season 4 will come from Lionsgate. http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Fraggle-Rock-HIT-Entertainment-Distribution-Deal/9244

True, but the alternative is to have them just sitting in storage. If they put them on iTunes, they can make a profit and we can buy songs otherwise unavailable. Even a selection of never-before-released songs would be great! I still think it couldn't hurt to shoot 'em an e-mail ;)

After the recent news that all 96 Fraggle episodes would make their way onto iTunes, I thought it would be a good idea to e-mail Henson and ask about the availability of Fraggle music on iTunes too. The recent CD re-issuing of the original three albums is wonderful, no doubt. But in an age...
