    Mokey and Ma Gorg voices!

    The puppeteer behind Ma Gorg's face and voice was Myra Fried in the first season and Cheryl Wagner from the second season on. Kathy was Mokey's permanent performer from the beginning of the show, but she did alter Mokey's voice somewhat early on. (I can definitely hear the difference between...

    Need To Find Fraggle Rock Doll!!!

    Grah...I found out about these AFTER I bought the smaller versions. Now I'm suffering from a severe moral dilemma: do I buy the larger ones and essentially waste the money I spent on the smaller ones, or live my life without the larger, more cuddly, almost life-size ones? :eek: (And when are...

    Silly Creatures

    Speaking from a production standpoint, you have to remember that that episode was one of the very first, when most of the show's continuity standpoints had not yet been established (including possibly just how much the Fraggles knew about the outside world). As for Boober's socks, it's possible...

    Thoughts on Convincing John

    While Cantus is Jim's deep and thoughtful character, Convincing John is his purely entertaining character. Just thinking about him makes me laugh and laugh because he's just so rediculously flashy and hyperactive (and his song is SO CATCHY). He is just the sort of lighthearted silliness that...

    Thoughts on Cantus

    Query: Is Cantus a Fraggle? Boy, we could have a huge discussion on this one. Personally, I don't think he is. Although his body structure is similar to a Fraggle's, his fur and feathers are different, and I don't believe he has a tail. He's just...him. And yes, he is nonsensical, but I think...

    What's Your Favorite.....

    Fraggle: Four-way tie! Boober, Traveling Matt Wembley and Mokey all get the gold! Doozer: Any one performed by Dave Gorg: Junior Other: Philo and Gunge!!!! Song: (Well, they're all excellent, but...) There's this one that I don't know the name of, but it's from like the second season or...

    Floyd in Come Together?

    Depends on who's written them... As far as I know, Floyd first appeared in the Muppet Show pilot. Of course, it's entirely possible that the sketch in question had a prototype of Floyd's character and/or puppet, but I don't think that would have counted as exactly the same...right? I think...

    First Muppet movie you saw in the theater?

    I'm sure (or at least, I hope) that many of us have seen at least one Muppet movie in the theater. Which one was it? How old were you? What kind of impression did it leave you with? I was 8 or 9 when I saw Muppet Treasure Island in the theater, and dash it all if it wasn't a really impacting...

    Forgotten and Favorite Muppet Monsters

    The Frackles were great, I wish they would get used in productions more often. They were wonderful background/filler characters. Thog was especially awesome, I like how his eyes and ears could move. That was genius. And what about Doglion, does he count? So large, so furry, so performed by...

    The Muppet Mobile Laboratory to begin rolling through DCA in early 2007

    ... I really, really, REALLY need to go to DCA more often. They had all this cool stuff in the past few years and I didn't even KNOW about it?! WHYYYYYYYY?! Okay...phew...gotta...compose myself here... *takes a moment to regain composure* I'm okay now. Anyway, this looks pretty...

    Kermit honored as Grand Marshall at Michigan State

    Wow, Steve is TALL. Is there any hope for a 5'6" puppeteer? :concern:
