Okay, sheesh...hehe, I think I must've inadvertently "muffined" my own thread (LOL). I didn't intend to spark debate over the number of seasons - we all know there was one missing, whatever the number. If y'all would refer to my initial post, I'd appreciate it. LOL again...and I'm siding with...
January EVERY year? Wow. I need to take another glance at the tx dates somewhere if I can dig 'em up. I've got the VTR dates definite. But wow. As Fraggle appeared in January, were they (HBO) showing it as a midseason replacement in that timeslot perchance? It just seems irregular to start a...
Also, I wasn't inferring that the production dates were the airdates or held any relevance to them. Just remarking that for that first season, which was filmed in advance, there was no summer hiatus. And regarding the rest of my initial posting, just bump the numbers up by one...hehe...
Whoops, my bad. This seems logical. I wonder though...oh well, nevermind. I guess this thread should then be called Season 6 - The Season that Wasn't. LOL. Thanks for that correction, man. Oh, BTW, are you pulling those first-last airdates from the UK airings at all, or was that from the...
Nope. The show ran from 1983 to 1987. Production began on the first episode (principal filming) on March 10th, 1982, and production ended on the show May 28, 1986 (except for "Fraggles Look for Jobs"). After the 1982 recordings, which went from 03/10/82-08/04/82, there was a variable summer...
I, too, thought that the final episode tied everything up - as it should. I enjoyed it as well, although the ending was slightly predictable. Nevertheless, I cracked up with that "flange" remark, and the answering machine message building up to Rachel's comeback. Now, it may be cliché-ridden...
1)Is your look at life,glass half empty(negative),or glass half full(positive)?
My glass would always be full - I love milk! Hehe, I'm a positive guy...or try to be positive.
2)If you could be anywhere in the world right now,where would you be & what would you be doing?
I would be where I...
I've always had a special place for "The Great Bong" (and no, it's not to do with a certain plant-smoking device - LOL). It was a show overseas (I wish it were available over here!) that a certain former-Hensonite...Karen Prell, helmed along with her husband, Mike (as far as I can remember)...
Hey all, in talking with some people in the know, as well as through my own investigation, I have found, as a lot of you already know, that there was a planned fifth season of Fraggle Rock, but because of HBO dealings, it got cancelled after four and the producers tied up the loose ends in four...
I thought this article talking about the "Castle Rock" Winery (and one wine in particular from there) was good in execution, while flawed in research...but it made me laugh nonetheless! And trust me, it is Muppety...I just had no idea (aside from this) where to post it. Still, gotta love the...
Another Part
[NOTE: I think it would be cool to involve everyone here in this, to get a broader range of styles. Go ahead and add to this as you want everyone...]
[We open up with a shot from the episode “Wembley’s Wonderful Whoopie Water,” involving Wembley – at the beginning of “Pukka...
1. FAVORITE SHOES? Two-tone blue/grey Airwalks (kinda like Converse)
2. WHAT COLOR PANTS ARE YOU WEARING? Good ol' 501's
3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? The sound inside my head
4. WHAT ARE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE
NUMBER? They're....the last four digits of my phone...
Jay,
IMHO, all of those episodes are great ones. In particular though, I'd definitely catch (if you can) The Gorg Who Would Be King - it's pretty cool! It's got two of my favourite songs in it, "How Wide, How Far, How Real" (at least, I *think* that's the name of it -- probably wrong) and...
Part I
NARRATOR: It was 1982 -- two years into the so-called “age of excess.” Many people believe that this tumultuous time began with a slightly off-key G-chord followed by rasps of A’s and diminished sixths. This is, in some respects, true. But it was also the age of the fun-loving; the age...
Hey all! I've just been dinking around with this and that, and I've come up with a starter script for a mock production of FR similar to that of VH1's Behind the Music. Tell me what you think so far...what I've got at the moment is just a bit of it - this isn't serious, btw (for those who may...
Oh, and - to clarify...that was a full-body puppet....walking around with one on your arm isn't the same - though you do attract attention all the same. Either way, I LOVE that buzz from live on-the-street performance!
>Adam
Hiya everyone....back from what feels like an incredibly long hiatus from posting, I had somewhat of an errant thought last night - and I've actually been wondering this for a while overall...
Have any of you here - however voyeuristic it might seem - wanted to put on a Muppet costume, or...
Wow! Who knew, with my few strategic postings, I'd be included? Not me. Thanks, Scoot! And yeah, I guess I am kinda indecisive...or am I? Yes I am...or not. LOL! Someone should keep an MC anecdote book or something. These little things are great! Poems...rants...the lot. I should post more...
To clear this all up...
As far as the "eye-dilation" thing goes, that is indeed a neat trick involving eyelid mechanisms (someone told me once that, "the puppeteer does what's there, and the viewer fills in the rest with their own intuition"). Perhaps what you're "seeing" is not exactly what is...
Probably the two worst commercials I have ever seen:
Number 2: Two words - NISSAN MICRA (LOL...."what the bork is "spafe" all about? And all that mixed lingo. Don't worry everyone, Luke or Warrick should know what I'm talking about.)
Top worst commercial: Can you say Quizno's? I knew you...
