I used to watch Fraggle Rock every chance I got when it was on the air here back in the 80s. They showed the same episode (on HBO) a few times a week. It didn't matter if I had already seen that episode a few days before, I'd watch it over and over.

And now we can watch all four seasons over and over and over and over... well, I admit, I *don't* have much of a life.

Ah yes... the wisdom of the 'Trash Heap'.

This show grabbed my attention when it originally ran. There was always clues to something deeper popping up, something of more adult thought.
Such as the bits of shipwreck found in the bay, The La Gorgiola, of which no record was found by the local archeologists, and an early Doozer helmet from the wreck touted as a simple ring.
With these and other hints popping up, I got the sense back then that the Gorgs were the sad, inbred remnants of creatures that had sailed to a land of safety, with a great portal to that otherworldly land (the Gorg's side of the rock). One can speculate there was a spectacular cave-in, either accident or intentionally, and the portal was gone.. well, for Gorg-sized beasties at least...

I never saw this show, and only a few of the Muppet show or Sesame Street. :<

I can only say that they tend to grow on a person. A few viewings may not strike you as very impressive.

And "Impressive" may not be a word I'd use for The Muppet Show anyway. I like it, but its mainly pretty corny. The guests have often dated badly -- "Woooo-ooo! And now for the fabulous, fantastic Prunella Bumbershoot!"

Who? Invariably it will be some show singer & dancer whose career virtually ended 20 or 25 years ago. The show had some truly great performers -- like Zero Mostel, Harry Belafonte, Alice Cooper, Elton John... but how many such stars are there, especially when the producers don't want to take chances?

I'm wondering if there was some sort of contract dispute with the first DVD producers and The Henson company which led to the last season not being released since the fourth season was released by another company.. And the first 3 seasons I noticed had disappeared for sometime and again popped up under the new packaging with the new DVD producer.

Possible. Things like that happen. Another common mishap is a dispute over music in a show or film -- which usually ends up with some other song being dubbed over when Johnny Fever introduces a new number on the air, sometimes spoiling a good joke. In the case of something like The Muppet Show, how do you remove Leslie Uggams' two five minute skitss, and what would you replace them with? Public domain Popeye cartoons?

i never liked scooby doo

Neither dood I. Although the live action film has some moments on a first seeing.

Fraggle Rock FTW!
