HIT Entertainment will support the much-anticipated DVD release of Fraggle Rock Complete First Season with an online campaign targeting the generation of men and women who grew up with the show. This is from July 3rd. Should we have seen this by now? Sounds very cool...

Both Season One and the new single-disc are now at HIT's online store. Oddly enough, they don't list the bonus CD-ROM for S1: http://www.hitstoreusa.com/videoanddvd1.html On a side note, all this talk about TMS's Amazon ranking has drawn some attention to FR (maybe). As of now it's at...

"The Trial of Cotterpin Doozer" and "Red's Club" are both fantastic episodes. This DVD is definately worth picking up. More here: http://muppetnewsflash.blogspot.com/2005/08/doozer-information.html

Sorry, these edits are unacceptable. I'm not buying the set, period.

From what I've heard, the original deal between Jim Henson and HBO called for five seasons of the show. There were, however, only four production seasons so they split the last year in half (13 for season four, 13 for season five). When (and if) we get to those seasons on DVD, HIT will most...

Sesame Workshop has promoted Carol-Lynn Parente from senior producer to exec producer, SESAME STREET. Parente will be responsible for the overall production process of the domestic program, reporting to Liz Nealon, evp/creative director. "For 17 years, Carol-Lynn has been a part of the SESAME...

Another petition honestly will not make much difference. HIT is well aware of the demand now, and all they are waiting for is us, the fans, to uphold our end of the bargain and buy the box sets they put out. As has been said previously, buying Season One is what will ensure Season Two. The...

Offer Update From HitEntertainment.biz "HIT today announces that the scheme of arrangement pursuant to which *Sunshine Acquisition Limited is acquiring HIT has today become effective. Accordingly, the listing of the ordinary shares in HIT is expected to be cancelled at 7.30a.m. tomorrow, 25...

Great, thanks for the info Greg! One question...was the mono soundtrack expected? I was hoping for stereo (if available).

From HitEntertainment.biz "Recommended Proposals for the cash acquisition of HIT by Sunshine Acquisition Limited - Update HIT notes the announcement by Lions Gate Entertainment ("Lions Gate") this morning that Lions Gate does not intend to make an offer for the Company. The Independent...

Hey Gelfling, Saw the episode listing on your site...wasn't "New Trash Heap in Town" the last episode of season one? I hope they do them in order :o

Did anyone else find that the audio on the bonus episode "Great Radish Caper" seemed to be off just a bit? It was really noticeble during the opening theme (especially the last second or two: the final "Down at Fraggle Rock," along with Boober's solo "D@FR" seemed completely off). I remember...

This is wonderful news! I guess all that letter writing and phone calls have done the trick. I think it would be very nice for all of us, upon purchasing our sets this fall, to call or write to HIT again just to thank them for listening to us, the fans. I know the folks at HIT would...

From HIT's website (HitEntertainment.com) "Further to HIT's announcement of 19 April 2005, HIT announces that one of the potential competing offerors which was conducting due diligence has stated that it does not intend to make an offer for HIT and has therefore ceased its due diligence...

While leading kids programming producer/distributor HIT Entertainment appears to be in a bidding war for a takeover, its independent directors reiterated support for a $917 million bid from equity firm Apax partners and asked other suitors to file actual proposals by May 13, 2005. Lions Gate...

Hi Gelfling, Thank you for the quick reply to my earlier question. I hadn't heard anything about this, but maybe you have: I know there is much discussion about these potential season sets, but has there been any talk of a possible Fraggle CD(s) in the works? I'm hoping that HIT takes...

April 4, 2005 The takeover of HIT Entertainment Plc. has turned into a three-way bidding war, with Classic Media and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. vying against Apax Partners, to purchase the kids producer/distributor based in London. HIT, the producer of the children's shows BOB THE...

Thanks for the news, Gelfling...I hope they continue to release the single disks, since parents and casual fans probably won't put up the $$ for whole seasons. I do wish they would hurry up with announcing the box sets for those that will buy them. Are you still in contact with HIT, working...

Just to sort of follow up on the previous story, this article was posted on Animation World Network. While it doesn't have much to do with FR first hand, it does gives you an idea as to the "inner workings" of a company like HIT, and also might give a little insight into where HIT is coming...
