Hi! I was looking at the various posts here, about things like the Fraggle books, plushes, toys etc. and I was wondering... will Fraggle Rock ever be as popular as what it was in the 80s? Let me explain... In the 80s, Fraggle Rock was only on HBO, which, at the time was not very widely...

You can definitely tell it's Japanese :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qovqVoQasfg Does anyone here have the ability to translate it? I believe that Gobo kept his name in the translation but as far as other Fraggles go, I dunno... I would love to know what they're singing! -Rick ..."You can...

this one on RetroJunk... lots of cool (err... "radical?") 80s stuff there http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/3335/ Worth a look! -Rick ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

I just got home with it and popped it in my DVD player... Wonderful DVD set - discs 1 thru 4 have all of the shows from season one, and the 5th disc has cast and crew commentary as well as the "Down at Fraggle Rock" special. The video on the shows I've seen so far is crip and clear (at least...

...Amateur Radio Field Day that is! As some of you may know, I hold a Technician class license from the FCC - for you non USians, that is the federal agency that handles communication policy for the US and territories. Canadians call it "Industry Canada" etc... Anyway, one of the major...

How long have we all been members of Muppet Central - in all its various locations - on forums.delphi.com and then here...? (IIRC we have had other places we've been too, but its been a long time) I remember MC vaguely (Something about Obsessed Fraggle Fans) on Geocities(?) and being a part...

I don't know if they are in all the stores, but I've seen Fraggle Rock calendars for 2005 at the Newbury Comics in Manchester NH! (I almost typed 1995 there...) They're 12.99, and have very cool pictures on the back (and that's what I'm assuming are on the inside). If anyone wants one, I...

I'm heading to Vegas this week coming up, and I was wondering if anyone here was from Vegas and wanted to chat or show me the sights? I'll be in town for DefCon, a computer hacker/geek convention - but I'll be there a few days before and after as well.... -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can...

I just got back from my trip to Canada!!! and it was AWESOME! :D I'll post more tomorrow, but I can say that I had lots of fun and I got to meet many of the cast members of "You Can't Do That on Television"! Not only that, but, I got to drive through some of the most *beautiful* country...

Hello everyone! Today I'm the big 2-7!!!! :) So, when do I get my party? -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

That's right folks! I'm heading to Ottawa next month for SlimeCon 2004, a convention all about You Can't Do that on Television, the other great TV show in the '80s. My question is: What else is there to do in Ottawa. Any suggestions on places to see, places to eat etc? All you Canadian...

Hey folks... I am starting on a project using BASIC Stamps (a type of micro-controller) and it got me to thinking... has anyone used precesion stepping motors to control parts of their puppets? For example- rolling eyes, hand grips etc? A stepper mottor is a motor that is designed to move...

Okay... here's this situation... (...my parents went away for a week's vacation...) (those of you who grew up in the 80s would remember that) Anyway, I mentioned the Fraggles being sold at Hot Topic to my sister. She says she wants a doozer. Since I haven't been to a Hot Topic, do they...

Hey people! For those of you who have stuck with Muppet Central since the days of Delphi Forums, you might remember the annual "Festival of the Bells" held every December, held in the MC chat room on Delphi. Since there is no Chat room now, the tradition has gone by the wayside. What I...

Can anyone shed any light on this? I was wondering how the final three episodes were handled in foreign versions of FR? I was wondering, due to the way the last three episodes all inter-twined with each other, how the plot was set up. Did Doc have to move? If so, to where? I would imagine...

Hello to one and all! I just wanted to drop in and say "Hi!" I know it's been a while, I've been involved with other things. As some of you may know, my dad died in March. I never knew how much there was to do to settle everything. Of course, he _was_ sick, and I'm glad he's not...

Tonight, starting at 9 PM EST and lasting till whenever, I'm going to have a beta test of my chat system. What does this mean? This means, that while my chat room is theoretically working, it has not been tested very well. That's the meaning of "beta" testing - it is a trial run to kinda shake...

I've made some changes! After a glorious crash a few months ago, and other things taking place, I am proud to say that Rick's Muppety Chat Server is coming back! Last Thanksgiving, my hard drive in my main server box decided to go clackety-clackety-clackety crunch! Needless to say, that's not...

It's on right now! -Rick

I'm baaaaaaack! (again!) My stint at Canobie Lake Park is almost over, (just the weekends in September, and that's it) so I am gonna have some more time to devote to web-surfing of all things Fraggle (and muppety!) This is what I've been up to... I've spent most of my time working this...
