In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

[Skye]

I'm totally with you guys, I really hope Jerry will do Gobo, too. That would be so great! I know he's not the only one who could do Gobo, but Jerry doing it just seems right.

 

[unclematt]

I am worried though. If he is sick and cant do it who could?

 

[anytimepally]

I don't even want to think about it, guys.. Jerry was the center of Fraggle Rock.. Gobo, Pa, Marjory.. and, in my opinion, the best singer of all the muppeteers.. I'd rather just assume he'll be there until we're told differently.. well, it makes me feel better, anyway

by the way, to help clear up the health questions a bit, Jerry posted this last August:

"I have COPD which is cronic obstructive pulmonary disease generally and emphysema specifically.I have had this for fifteen years or so but only in the last four years has it become problematic. Two years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and went through radiation treatment sucessfully. This spring I was in the hospital with pneumonia and am still recovering from that. Complicated by the COPD, this recovery process takes some time. I am happy to say that as of this posting I do intend to work with my old friend Count Von Count again this next season."

so.. it sounds like he's slowly improving, right?

 

[unclematt]

I would say that that definatly sounds like a good thing

 

[evilhopscotch]

WHEW!!! thanks a bunch for that anytimepally. I didn't know he did the count. Sounds like he is getting better. Here's hoping anyway, right?

 

[CensoredAlso]

Yeah I remember seeing that message. I hope Jerry's continuing to improve. And I hope he'll be able to work on the movie, even if it's just voice work (though I remember him saying he did not like just being a voice actor. Hehe).

I really hope Jerry's doing Gobo's voice. Jerry's got such a unique vocal talents, a one of a kind voice. But I'll probely still see the FR film if he doesn't. I hope he's doing well, anyways.

 

[unclematt]

Worst case scenario, is there anybody else that can do Gobo

 

[Ilikemuppets]

I'd say sense he is still doing count and his sickness was not the complete or sole reason for him not doing the muppets anymore, I think he is doing this movie, people. No worries.

 

[unclematt]

I am just saying. Do we have anybody if we need them
