Do you like the Muppets better or Fraggle Rock?I'm a die-hard fraggle rock fan, although I did enjoy most of the Muppet movies. I just found out there's going to be a FRAGGLE MOVIE! This is in production and expected to come out in 2008 or 2009. OH MIGOD!:)

Well I prefer the Muppet show better. I would watch it without fail every week. I wish I could afford to get it on DVD. It's one set I'd love to have. It was great. The guest stars where awesome and they always seemed willing to pock fun at themselves. Nothing was sacred, they picked on everything and everyone on that show. It never failed to make me smile.

I love the Muppets. We never saw much of fraggle rock when I was growing up. My favorite was the character on the muppets is kermit the frog and the dog that played the piano.

Rowlf - The piano playing dog
Rowlf is the name of the dog. I grew up on Muppets and I like the movies, but I like Fraggle Rock a lot more.

Well, it says "in production" - it probably won't be out until 2008 or 2009. I can't wait! *grin*

oooo. Tough question. Both were really good, although I probably watched a lot more Muppets than Fraggle Rock considering it was on more.

Jim Henson Studio - Hollywood CA
Jim Henson was a genius! :) I didn't realize he did Sesame Street (Ernie & Bert) but it makes sense now. I used the girls room at the Jim Henson studio once (in the picture its the door to the right you go in and there's an office, the lady let me borrow the bathroom while I was waiting for a bus). September 24, 1936 - May 16, 1990 RIP

I like Gonzo a lot, he was always my favorite, but I had a kermit doll when I was little. I couldn't remember the old guys' names, thanks for the reminder! :)
