How great is it that today's kids are watching the show (and not courtesy of the DVDs)? http://www.europe.turnerinfo.com/BOOM/UK/pressreleases/10_07_07_1.jsp

If anyone has yet to pick up a season box set of Fraggle Rock, Amazon.com currently has all three selling for only $26.49 each: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Fraggle&tag=muppetcentral&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 I don't think they've ever been...

The Muppet Show Season 2 has won in TWO categories of the TV DVD Awards: "Best 1970s Series" and "Best Children's Series." http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Site-News-4th-Annual-TV-DVD-Awards/8432 I guess this doesn't help deter people from thinking TMS is a "kid's" show, does it?

Fraggle Rock Season 3 has won the "Best 1980s Series" category of the TV DVD Awards: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Site-News-4th-Annual-TV-DVD-Awards/8432 I'm so glad HIT's dedication is paying off for them (I believe they won an iMedia award last year for the Season 2 box set). They...

Has anyone had luck finding this in any store? I'm hoping to pick up a second copy, but would like to get it in an actual store this time.

TVShowsOnDvd reports that the fourth (and final) volume of Animaniacs is not currently scheduled to come to DVD. It seems Vol. 3 didn’t do so well. On another note, Tiny Toon Adventures is coming next year in similar fashion to the Animaniacs sets...

I ordered mine from Amazon, and it shipped today. It estimates an 11/2 delivery date. Since Amazon usually delivers on or before release date for a pre-ordered item, I think there might be a slight delay overall (I also checked Target and Circuit City and neither had it).

Will Muppet Central receive an advance copy and post a review?

from Koch Records: http://www.kochentertainment.com/fragglerock.htm "In 1983 Jim Henson introduced us the magical world of Fraggle Rock. Featuring a cast of Muppet creatures called Fraggles, with music by Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee, it became an immediate world-wide hit and today it is...

Sure: consumerrelations@hitentertainment.com

It would be really lovely if they did a tribute to Richard Hunt for the final season. FR was the last major project Richard worked on, it was where he started his very brief directing career and his last major Henson character (Junior) plays an important part in the ending of the series. It...

I’ve finally made my way through most of this set, and I have to say (like everyone else so far) that it’s absolutely wonderful. Everything looks and sounds great, and the bonus features are terrific. Michael Frith’s sketches are the best addition to a Fraggle DVD yet! HIT continues to do...

and Well put guys. HIT did say they were creating fun products for the original fans. So it seems they're being complete here, giving us what we all know are old and impossible-to-find albums remastered on disc. One track I am very much looking forward to is the full, uncut opening...
