Since I have never seen a special entirely devoted to the Fraggles themselves (I know there is one, I just never saw it is all), so Here's some appearances that Fraggles make in Muppet specials.

The Muppets at Walt Disney World No Fraggles here, but in the Dog Kennel scene (With Rowlf singing) you can clearly see Sprocket the dog, as well as some extras from Dog City.

It would have been fun, however, had they had one with Gobo's Uncle Matt. I can see it now, "Dear nephew Gobo, I have travled to a most exotic world that the silly creatures come from different tribes all over to see. For some strange reason, they worship some sort of Mouse god, and go to something called a gift shop and barter strange gren rectangles for headgear with mouse ears on it!"

Muppet Family Christmas If anyone has seen this, they'll know that Doc and Sprocket rent Fozzie's mother's house for the holiday, but winds up staying there when the Muppets come in. Robin and Kermit travel across the basement and find a Fraggle hole, and meet Gobo, et. al. In a final scene the four main Fraggles peer out from behind a fire place (or something) mantel, while in view are Doc, Sprocket, and Travelling Matt.

Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson Obviously, they show clips of Fraggle Rock!

Muppets! A celebration of 30 years I haven't seen this (maybe I have, but I must not remember), but undoubtably, the Fraggles are present!

If anyone knows any others, please reply!

Mokey and another Fraggle appeared in the finale in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson.

Travelling Matt and Sprocket can be seen thruoghout The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years.

There was one Fraggle Rock Special, But it was only a half hour show. It is called The Bells Of Fraggle Rock, It isnt much of a Special, But thats what Henson call it.

See ya

Thanx, Warrick!! I knew they had to be in there somewhere! I just don't see the finale much of the Celebrate Jim Henson special. I always lose it there. I'm not one who likes to cry much, so when I see this special, I always pop in another video buy the time the "Wall Street corus" number is over.

and, speaking of fr cameos in muppet films, supposedly word has it in juhl's original script it called for a uncle matt cameo on cape doom. just another sad thing about mfs, no 'other' muppet universe characters(fr, sesame, etc) cameos like in other muppet films.

>>>There hasn't been any Sesame, Fraggle, etc. cameos since Muppets Take Manhattan!!!!<<<

do you mean film wise? If so, there hasnt been any fr cameos on a muppet film since 1996(sprocket was in MTI) and the last sesame/muppet show crossover was at the muppetfest/live show with elmo being with the rest of the Muppet Show gang.

Sprocket I think I saw. Other than that I ment film wise. Especially Sesame. But you're right. Travelling Matt's appearecne would've made MFS much more fun.

Actually, there was a one-hour behind the scenes special about Fraggle Rock. It aired on CBC in Canada. I've heard that it didn't air anywhere else, although that is just rumor. Does anyone know?

Actually this special also aired on HBO in 1987. It was later seen on Disney, and Oddysey.

'Down at Fraggle Rock: Behind The Scenes' , I didnt state it as a Special because the Fraggles arent actually in a story.

It is about how they made the show, With Interviews with Richard Hunt, Jerry Juhl, Jim Henson and other Muppeteers.

See ya

YOU DIDN'T MENTION KATHY MULLEN!!

:mad:

The woman behind Mokey is NOT simply "and other Muppeteers". You purposefully left her out as the ONLY other human, and I for one am 99% ready to boycott you for this!!

Mokey and another Fraggle appeared in the finale in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson.

Actually, Mokey, Gobo, and Wembley are all there.

And, of course, there're also clips from Fraggle Rock of the Fraggles singing "The Rock Goes On" and "We Are the Children of Tomorrow".

Not nearly enough Fraggle content in that special if you ask me.

Although that whole 5-4-3-2 Fraggle countdown thing near the beginning was really, really, really cool. I loved that. Anyone know where I can get images, or a movie file of that???

Ciao,

Sprocket wasn't in MTI. The last Muppet film he made an appearance in was MCC, during the opening. He was in one of the buildings throwing snowballs at someone down on the street. ^_^

In muppet Christmas carol you can see lots of fraggle extras like some minstrals, and they have a seen in the opening song were in a door way you see the main minstral (not cantus but the other guy) Bagoonie and the mud bunny as a family. They also have lots of those ink spot characters, those little things with the big mouths. Oh and when there playing the guessing game atscrooges nephews house sittling on the couch is the green minstral with big hair sitting next to mr mac mootch! And in Muppets tonight in the dr van nueter thing they had a poison chackler in one of the cages and on the opening song when all the characters go and sit down, you can see bagoonie and large marvin! Also has any body played muppet race mania on play station, that has a Fraggle rock level and Flange doozer as one of the racers, and in the fraggle rock level ma pa and jr peek there eyes in at you while you race and you can drive on the doozer consructions! Thats all I know about!

Begoony was also in MTI. You see him during the 'Cabin Fever' number; he's one of the two muppets singing the line, "Ach tu lieber Volkswagen car, saurbraten weinerschnitzel und wunderbar." IIRC, he's wearing an Oktoberfest-type dress.

Mudwell is also in this scene, wearing a hat over a red bandanna.

Don't the inkspots show up in a lot of muppet crowd scenes, not just MCC? I need to go through the movies again just to look for all the various reincarnated cave critters.
