Fraggle Season 3 arrives September 11

[Phillip Chapman]

It's now official, Fraggle Rock Season 3 will debut on 9-11. A very appropriate release date especially considering that the purpose of the show is to bring peace to the world

The DVD box set will include:

All 24 episodes
All-new featurettes and interviews with Fraggle Rock cast and creators
"Under Construction"
"The Puppet Collection"
"The Hall of Fame"
"The Hall of Fraggles"
"The Fraggleterium"
"Fraggle Gardens"
Stereo English audio track
English & Spanish subtitles
Deluxe embossed collector's packaging

Since most all of us will be getting Fraggle Rock Season 3, I'd like to mention that if you order the release from Amazon using the link above, a small portion of your order will go to Muppet Central to help keep the site, forum and radio running smoothly. It's a great way to help MC and get a great price on the DVD set with free shipping. We greatly appreciate each person that helps support MC by placing orders through the site.

How exciting!
Does this mean there won't be another replica notebook then? My mom loved reading the first two!

[Phillip Chapman]

Nothing like that has been announced but we're hoping to have more info on the bonus features soon.

[Fragglemuppet]

Oh well, I guess there are only so many notes one can have on a project.
Thanks for the info Phill.

I know this is probably a long shot, but I think it would be neat to see a replica of the sheet music for "Follow Me" or one of the MANY other songs on Fraggle Rock. I think that would be really cool.

I think including something like replicas of the original promo cards from HBO would be a nice touch as well.

Just three months away!

Question...

Phil, you say that FR Season 3 will have "all 24 episodes".
Does that mean it'll have the twenty-two episodes that make up (Broadcast) Season 3 and the first two episodes of (Broadcast) Season 4?
Or will it just have all the episodes that make up (Broadcast) Season 3 instead?

Just asking, as this was something we were waiting for Greg to report on in the old thread when the DVD boxset was announced last week.
Thanks, have a great Fragglish day.

This is awesome, a TMS AND Fraggle set this fall! I'll be watching too much TV come September now!

Wonderful news, I'm going to be broke this fall, Fraggle Rock Season Three, TMS Season Two, Old School SS Vol. 2....oh well, it's a good thing for Muppet fans to be broke right?

Excellent news,

One of my fav episodes, The Bells of Fraggle Rock will finally be on DVD.

It would be great to see a replica of the ''Fraggle Bible'' or a style guide.

Also, I recieved this weekend ''Doozer Music'' VHS, its nice to see the segments specially made for the VHS of Matt and Cotterpin, be good to see this on one of the DVD sets!

Roll on September.

The season 3 set will have 24 episodes. I talked with HIT Entertainment and they told me that they are releasing the Fraggle Rock sets by production seasons, not by broadcast seasons. There should be four sets of 24-episodes each. The plan is to follow the four evenly sized seasonal groupings and episode order that Henson originally produced and intended (before HBO decided to stretch the 96 episodes out into 5 seasons for broadcasting).

I think I'll probably just ask for the set for Christmas this year since I'm thinkng about spending my money on the Muppets Show Season 2 and Sesame Street: Old School Volume 2 boxsets. But then again, I'll see what happens.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I can't wait to find out what the features mean! Like is "Under Construction" the building of Fraggle Rock 1983? or 2007? I wonder if they will say anything about the movie and so on? Im way excited no matter what though!
