Fraggle
Rock dropped from Odyssey

September 19, 1999
In
a shocking and surprising move, The Odyssey Channel has dropped one of
Henson's all-time best series, the original version of Fraggle Rock. The
animated version, however, remains on Odyssey's "new and improved"
fall line-up.
This
could be a temporary oversight on the part of Odyssey (unlikely) or Fraggle
Rock could be appearing on another network this fall (even more unlikely).
Either way, this isn't very good news for Henson fans.
The
Odyssey Channel began showing Fraggle Rock twice a day on Monday April
4, and then abruptly changed it to one showing a day on Monday July 5.
When the series changed to one showing a day in July, they began re-airing
the series from the first episode. The series will almost finish season
three when it will be dropped from the network.
If
you are unhappy about this development you can leave feedback on Odyssey's
Web site
or you can contact Odyssey directly and ask them to please return Fraggle
Rock to their daily schedule.
