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.

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.

I'm a definate Fraggle Rock fan all the way. Oooh a movie? I don't know if it will be quite the same... they keep ruining stuff that used to be good in the 80s...

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 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).

I have the theme song on a workout CD b/c it is just so cheerful I can go an extra 1/2 mile listening to it! *grin* I went looking for the lyrics online, and found them in Norwegian, Dutch and Swedish, among other languages, how cool is that????If you can see the picture I attached, that's Dennis Lee, he wrote most of the songs for Fraggle Rock.

Sing und schwing das Bein,
Lass die Sorgen Sorgen sein,
In das Lied stimm' ein,
So nach Fraggle-Art.
Ackern muß man doch,
Tanzen kann man morgen noch,
Mein Freund die Tassen hoch,
Mit Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, Red.
Sing und schwing das Bein,
Lass die Sorgen Sorgen sein,
In das Lied stimm' ein,
So nach Fraggle-Art.

Maak muziek en lach,
zorgen voor een andere dag.
Zingen doen we vlot,
in de freggelgrot.
Werk jezelf een weg,
anders heb je morgen pech.
Zingen doen we vlot,
in de freggelgrot.

The muppet shows are definately my favorite! I can't get enough of rizzo the rat and gonzo. They are so funny. Then there are the 2 old guys stadler and waldorf in the balcony! They are a riot too!

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! :)
