hi there! I'm new to the website, but love the muppets and fraggle rock. I was going to buy the collection set for the muppet show dvd set. But am alittle confused as to which is the better purchase. Should I purchase the muppet show dvd set (the 3 box set) or the time life edition? Can anyone help with this? Also I have bought the first 3 seasons of fraggle rock individually but now I see the box set is out and the same price as what I paid for the 3 altogether. Am I missing out on anything not having season 4 and should buy the whole box set? or does anyone know/think they will come out with season 4 individually? thanks to all who can shed some light on this !
I don't know anything about Timelife muppets but as far as Fraggle Rock goes:
The full set doesn't have any of the extra papers and shiny things that came with the single sets, but it does have extra, um, extras at the end of season 4. And a poster...and a nice..um..DVD rock block..thingie

But..the way the discs are packed in the full set can sometimes mean you will get scratched discs (I dunno if replacements are still going on or not) and labels and things aren't as varied as with the single sets.
There has been talk about a single season 4 boxset but many of us think that they might wait for the new movie to come out before they do, others think it might take less time, and still others of us are unsure if they ever will make one.
On the up side (or at least the moping side

) if you don't want to sell your single sets (and have a region free DVD player) you can do what I did I buy the AUS season 4 boxset. There are no extras and it is missing the episode 'Sidebottom Blues' but other than that it is spiffy

!
I think it all comes down to what sort of fraggle fan you are. If you can't live without seeing some very deep episodes, season 4 is a must buy :3!
