My God...20 whole years.

The messages and overall importance of Fraggle Rock still shines bright in my mind. It is my favorite Henson show, and definitely something that I will hold close to my heart forever. The sheer thought of Fraggle Rock's greatness is overwhelming to me. I am sometimes brought to tears just thinking about the love and warmth encompassed within 96 30-minute episodes.

There are a lot of bad things in this world. There are so many negative words used angry people, hateful actions and gratuitous stupidity that tears people apart. When Fraggle Rock plays, all of that melts away. There is nothing but good attached to Fraggle Rock. My life has truly been bettered by Fraggle Rock.

So, Happy Anniversary Fraggle Rock! My the world be cleansed by your sentiments, delighted by your silliness, joyful in your songs, and educated by your messages.

-Matt

Yup. It's kinda painful looking at the new Muppet figures ( now that I own a few of them ) and seeing how perfect they're made. If they did the fraggles like that... they'd be exactly as I'd always dreamed them to be. Oh well. Wish the Henson folks would get up off their cracker and put the fraggles on DVD. All 96 episodes that is. :smile:

Wow!

Thanks to everyone for all the appreciative words. I told the Fraggle cast and crew to check out the messages here and look at Jamie's glorious Fraggle menu! Wonderful work Jamie! I'm glad people are getting a chance to enjoy it a bit longer.

Everyone who worked on Fraggle Rock is thrilled and grateful that so many people enjoy the show. It's proof that doing something with quality and integrity can be worthwhile.

Let's hope that it won't be too long before a new generation will get a chance to discover Fraggle Rock.

Thanks again to Muppet Central and Fraggle fans around the world for keeping the magic of Fraggle Rock alive.

And thank-you, Jim.

Yahooo!!!

Karen, Red and the cast and crew of Fraggle Rock.

All I can say is "Wow!" too!

Even today, I can pull out an episode on tape, place it gently in my VCR and almost forget that its all puppets etc. Even today, the show seems fresh and current. (I really don't know how to say it, but you know what I mean)

You say that hopefully it won't be too long before another generation will get a chance to discover Fraggle Rock... This is taking place now! I stopped by Blockbuster and, what did I see, but Fraggle tapes! (The 1993 re-release) I am amazed now to see how many people even know of Fraggle Rock considering HBOs limited penetration back in 1983... Think of how many people would watch now with the number of people that have HBO today - or even if it were to make it onto Nickelodeon or Disney again.

To all the cast and crew - Thanks!

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean! It's like when you look back at most 80's cartoons. They are SO completely dated, and so 80's and while we enjoy that nastalgia, it's not really that good. But Fraggle Rock is ageless! Although it's also a nastalgia trip, it's also something I could see first being put on the air now, and it would still be as popular.

That's just how great Fraggle Rock is!
