Maybe if some of them had survived, they would show up in a proposed Henson TV show called "The Imaginary World" which would feature rejected Muppet monsters, animals, and creatures from Jim Henson's productions such as "The Muppet Show" and "Fraggle Rock".

P.S. Okay, I made this info up.

I just think the word "frackle" is really cool!:cool:
i read about where they got the name from on muppet wiki, forgot how they got it though:smile:

but for some reason i dont like ones like boppity and gloat being called by the names Blue and Green frackle, maybe its cos i think they actually have names ^_^

Well, Dark Green hunchback frackle, the one that appeared in the first episode when other Frackles besides Boppity, and Gloat, where not there, have appeared on Sesame Street, with out the mean eyebrows. You can see him in the skit with Bip Boppita, along with Frazzle, Cookie, and Herry, and some Anythings, but before the monsters, Guy Smiley, Prarie Dawn, and Simon Soundman are in it as well.

The puppets are probably very well worn out... They've been around since the early seventies. And Thog is probably gone. They could use a bully monster Gang on Sesame Street, to try and bully Telly, Grover, Herry, Cookie, Elmo, and the others. But you know, Elmo saves the day and what not.

Maybe they should probably be reconstructed for various Muppet projects in the future.

Actually, I read in Jim's autobiography that he got the name for the Fraggles from the Frackles (basically, Frackle with the "ck" softened to a "gg").
