    Appearances by food

    If that was your guy then here he is again in 'Let the Water Run'. It was a brief appearance in a panning shot. If I've got the wrong thing then let me know, I'll see what else I can find.

    Appearances by food

    Appearance I'm pretty sure that this is your guy Screenshot If so then he's in 'You Can't Do That Without A Hat' for a few brief moments when Red and Wembley go up the tunnel to Outer Space in search of Boober's hat. He growls at them a bit. I don't know if he is in any others. BTW I'm...

    Five Children and It Official Release

    Does anyone know if they are going to make the sequel The Phoenix and the Carpet ? I'd quite like to see it done.

    Interesting, that would make a lot of sense. :)

    Were Cantus & the Minstrels based on anyone

    A few of the fraggles' names seem to have meaning or be taken from real words/places: Boober - angry cow Henchy - taken from Henchman Balsam and Gillis (and possibly Feenie with the spelling changed) - cast and crew members' surnames. Herkimer - county of New York Merkey...

    The Hoobs

    Yeah the only thing is they all have generic southern accents, it would be nice to see a northerner somewhere among them.

    Were Cantus & the Minstrels based on anyone

    Cantus - to sing (in Latin) Balsam - Phil Balsam Brio - lively, with vigour musical term con brio Brool - discussion over at FR.com seems to have settled on it being like a roar Murray - well, um, why not? And a minstrel was a (sometimes travelling) folk singer type person conveying...

    The Hoobs

    I haven't watched it for a while but I do love it, especially Groove, Roma and Hubba Hubba. It's on a little early for me at the mo' I wish they'd put it on later in the morning again. Roma reminds me of Uncle Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock a bit, only she seems to have a better grasp on...

    NEW! R2 FR DVD : "Let The Music Play"

    You'd think they'd let us know what, if any extras there are, I mean, if the extras were good enough then I might buy it anyway. They should have thought this out better, done a little research and put different episodes on (and more than just two - stingy!). It could hurt sales and possibly...

    Were the Minstrels always named?

    I believe Brool plays the bass guitar.

    Fraggle Rock Season 1 arrives September 6

    Or, you never know, there may be a few more 3 or 4 episode DVDs to be released with episodes from the later seasons and they might have them on. I mean, even if I knew they were going to eventually bring out all the season box sets, I'd still buy a single DVD if it had an episode I don't have...

    How was Wembley's eye-rolling done?

    I think the last reply on that link I posted (Posted after I posted the link) sounds about right with his hair covering the mechanism.

    Ages of the five Fraggles

    I don't know, his seems more like a true OCD about hygiene/death rather than the Generation-X, apathetic depression that seems to infest the MTV driven folk of today. (Though I think kurt Cobain probably was clinically depressed).

    Ages of the five Fraggles

    It would be hard to tell though seeing as they can pick and choose when their birthday is and how often it occurs. So an energetic, party-loving fraggle like Red could, in theory, have had many, many more birthdays than Boober but actually have been alive a shorter period of time.

    Favorite episodes

    Ooh, tough, I guess I'm not allowed to say them all. Right. Here we go. Boober Gorg - it's the first one I watched as I was getting back into FR and it's where I get my user name from (over at FR.com I'm Luv2squashrocks) The Gorg Who Would Be King - I love the scene when they realise...

    Ages of the five Fraggles

    I always thought it would go (eldest to youngest) Mokey, Gobo, Red, Boober Wembley. I read somewhere that Boober is so well educated because his morbid fear of, um, everything led him to read up on pretty much everything but he still seems young to me. He spits his dummy a lot like a young...

    If Doc couldn't see Fraggles, why was Uncle Matt so easily visible?

    Actually it does. For most of the time Gobo was pretty good at hiding from Doc but in the Honk of Honks episode Doc is actually trying to do experiments to prove whether there is intelligent life behind the wall. Maybe it's the Science that blocks the Magic somehow and it could only be breached...

    If Doc couldn't see Fraggles, why was Uncle Matt so easily visible?

    Ah, got me. I'm missing a few episodes from seasons 4 and 5 so I pretty much assumed that's what he was doing,(yeah, yeah, I know what assuming makes). *Runs back and re-watches episode* He isn't getting a postcard, (silly me), he's "Going down a tunnel to see what (he) can see" seems he's...

    If Doc couldn't see Fraggles, why was Uncle Matt so easily visible?

    Sure. Right at the start of the episode Gobo goes to get his postcard. Doc is behind the work desk as he goes in but comes round to work on something on the floor in front of the desk. Sprocket starts barking at Gobo and Doc says "What are you barking at, Sprocket, what is it? I don't see...

    Tell me about the last episode "Change of Address"

    Hey, anyone want a vcd of the Fraggles Find New Jobs? The visual quality's not brilliant but it's mighty funny. Pm me if you're interested.
