    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Special Edition DVD

    Phillip, now that we will have Season One for sure, do you think we will eventually have the entire series on DVD? I don't know what the thought processes are for managing a project like this, but I'm sure HIT has considered all five seasons, not just the first one. Does season one guarantee...

    Fraggle Rock: Season 1 DVD Coming Fall 2005

    Well, for right now they're saying Fall 2005. It could be sooner. After all, they cranked out that first DVD pretty fast after getting the rights. I just hope that if they do indeed release Season 1, they continue and release the rest of the series as well. I don't want to have seasons 1...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock DVD

    I just spoke with HIT this afternoon, and they said that due to feedback, season sets are now being considered :) So keep that feedback coming everyone! Mail form letters to: HIT Entertainment Attn: Consumer Relations (Fraggle Rock SEASON SETS) P.O. Box 9000 Allen, Texas 75013...

    Where it all Began Special Edition Specs

    Something like that is possible. The original episodes of Star Trek were first put out in two-episodes-per-disc, single disc releases. Now there's a "demand" for it, so it's making its way to complete season sets. Season one was released yesterday, with season 2 in November and season 3 in...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock DVD

    Yeah, it's awesome. So keep those feedback cards and phone calls and letters coming, folks!! Also keep in mind Henson has an equal say in all the release stuff (it's not just HIT) so be sure to send feedback to them as well. The person on the phone said their deal to release FR is...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock DVD

    Funny you mention animated FR, Baby Sinclair. I just got off the phone with HIT, and they said that the next release (December 21st) will be a re-issue of the same three episodes we already have, but the bonuses will be a couple of FR animated episodes, along with a FR "album" (which is really...

    Jerry Nelson Recasts

    Do you mean his Sesame characters or his Muppet Show characters? If so, which ones :)

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock DVD

    Well, I picked up the Fraggle DVD a couple of days ago and yes, Oliver, the first two episodes are merged. It seems quite apparent that HIT didn’t put too much effort into this release. Oddly enough, I didn’t receive an insert declaring that there would be future releases in the fall. I...

    It's Official: Disney completes Muppet acquisition

    Does anyone know exactly how much creative input Henson has in this deal? Beyond the initial three year period the first press release stated? The "non-exclusive production and consulting agreements" sounds promising. Let's just hope Henson will always have a say in the quality of work the...

    Gluing a Puppet Arm

    Hi folks, I have a Pannabecker puppet from their old line (before they stopped making puppets) and an arm has come detached from the body. For those who aren’t familiar with these puppets, the arm is attached by two little plastic pieces that snap together; the male part is glued to the end...

    Hi Buck - Almost a year ago, I posted a thread asking for help in buying "Muppet-style" puppets, and you mentioned that Marlene Reimer is an excellent builder. Would you please send me an e-mail because I would like to hear some more detailed opinions about her work. Thanks! - Billy...
