Classic Muppet references in "Fraggle Rock"

[Philip Kippel]

While watching the new Fraggle Rock DVDs, I heard and saw references to several classic Muppets.

When Doc goes through the mail in "Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk", he says that they got a letter from Kermit!

When Doc and Sprocket are going over the list of potential members of Sprocket's Underdog Club in "Red's Club", one of the dogs Doc mentions on the list is Rowlf!

In "The Cavern of Lost Dreams", Sprocket does a brief impersonation of the Swedish Chef!

Notice any others?

In "Sir Hubris and the Gorgs," Uncle Matt encounters trick-or-treaters dressed as and .

I have read that in one of Traveling Matts post card segments, Traveling Matt went to a drive-in which was playing The Dark Crystal.

In Traveling Matt's Discovery, I recall there being a Grover doll in the background in a sceen where Gobo and Traveling Matt look in a childs room.

If/ when Sir Hubris And The Gorgs get's release on DVD (either on a single-disc release or in a season set), I hope that Disney doesn't make Hit! cut the scene with the Kermit and Miss Piggy costumes (assuming permission is needed).

Since they're Halloween costumes and not the characters themselves, I doubt permission will be needed.

Wow, that's really cool. I love when Muppet Worlds collide.
