Fraggle Rock Season 1 arrives September 6

[King Prawn]

There was Jerry Juhl, his wife (who's name escapes me at the moment) Steve Whitmere, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson (though he was interviewed on his own) Karen Prell as well as three others one wh I think was the producer I don't ecall their names.

I'll fill everyone in on all the details tommorow, I really need to get some sleep now

I assume that the opening and closing titles for each episode have been re-done. Is this correct? Also - are the episodes "strung together" on each disc? And are they all complete (as far as you can tell)? And do they have the alternate openings with Gobo and Wembley on episodes #8 and #12? (I assume not)

Hi King Prawn,

Is the Behind-the-Scenes documentary (the 1987 one narrated by Jim Henson) complete and uncut? When introducing the puppeteers Jim mentions their previous "Muppet" work, or that they worked on "The Muppet Show".

With the ridiculousness of copyrights these days, I'm not sure if it extends to just the use of the word "Muppet".

Silly as it may seem, I've been wondering. Thank you.

I watched the bonus features and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!the interviews are at least an hour long maby even an hour and a half,it features drawings,and film of the tryouts which features jerry nelson doing boober,steve doing gobo (which sounds alot like his kermit) an dave doing wembly,it also features karen doing mokey and katheryn doing red,this was when they were trying to figure out who was going to do what voice,the down at fraggle rock appears to be what I remembered it to be back when I first saw it,and yes the episodes all have beginning and end credits all original saying "featuring jim hensons muppets" ,the note pad is a little scratchy but I read it and it's interesting to see how the woozles evolved into the fraggles,the wozles evolved into the gorgs and the wizzles evolved into the doozers,the rest you'll have to find out for your self (don't want to give away too much)I think season two should have reproductions of the original drawings/sketches made for the show,also I would like to see a 30 track "best of" c.d.featuring their "hits"maby as a bonus disc on a future set.......

Are the special features all on one disk or are they spread out?

Also, you guys know yet what the bonus episode is on the Doozer DVD?

The special feature are all found on disc 5 where as each of the other disc comes with 6 episodes each. The Menus are not as nice as the ones on the single release and keep an eye out for how the word Doozer came to be, it's a very intresting interview.

The people interviewed were:

Karen Prell
Steve Whitmere
Dave Goels
Jerry Nelson
Jerry Juhl
Duncan Kenworthy - Co-Creator, International Producer
Jocelyn Stevenson Co-creator/writer
Lawrence Mirkin - producer
Susan Juhl - Script Editor

that's all of them plus their some footage which oter people such as Micheal Frith (i hope i spelled his name right)

I'm now going to try an attempt to unlock the bonus episode which i can never do without watching the three normal episodes on the disc first and sinc ei've been so keen on watching some season 1 episodes such as marooned i havn't gotten round to watching them yet.

Hopefully tonight i can let you all know what the bonus episode is

I went over to try and unlock the bonus Fraggle episode and was pleasantly surprised to have Red Fraggle direct me on how to play. It was definatley new since she tells you to click on play, that was very intresting and a nice surprise

Many thanks to Karen Prell

 

[SillyRed]

Did she speak?

 

[Phillip]

Did she speak?

Sure. It's newly recorded dialogue to guide you through playing Fraggle Challenge to unlock the bonus episode. Good stuff.
