good fraggley fun, 2007-12-27
My 5 yr old boy at first said he hated this dvd. I asked him to sit and watch it one time all the way through with me and his 2 yr old sister. He now loves it and wants me to buy all of them. I hadn't really watched it as a kid but love Muppets and Jim Henson in general so I thought this would be fun. big thumbs up. The 2 yr old got a little scared by some of the characters but now she just laughs and yells at them.

Love the Fraggles, but found this disappointing., 2005-06-21
My wife and I grew up with the Fraggles, and we were very excited to share them with our young daughter when we learned the episodes were coming out on DVD. This is the first collection we picked up, and we have to say we're a bit disappointed. br / br /First, where are the opening theme song and closing credits on each episode!? The title of this collection may entreat you to "Dance Your Cares Away," but you will not be able to dance them away to the song with that line in it. Not only do we NOT get the infectious Fraggle Rock theme song (and its introduction of the main characters for those not familiar with the series!), we don't get the closing credits, which deprives us of the chance to learn who the performers are. br / br /Second, the seemingly random selection of episodes makes it difficult for a new viewer like our daughter to really understand what's going on. For example, The Trash Heap freezes perilously in "Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe," but having never even seen the character before, why would my daughter care? My wife and I remembered the characters, but as an introduction to the series, this is a poor collection. br / br /Third, well, how does a Henson fan put this? The episodes seemed somewhat less than inspired. We've been spoiled, I think, by the really sharp writing on recent Sesame Street work. Perhaps it is just this collection of stories, but our daughter wandered away from the television, and my wife and I found ourselves tempted to do the same. br / br /Then, of course, we learn that the full first season of Fraggle rock will soon (if not already) be available. With twenty-four episodes plus bonus features, it looks much more attractive at its price (around $45) than this four episode collection which we purchased for around a third of that price. br / br /Lesson learned: we should have waited for the full season sets, and skipped these random collections. If you really want to experience the fun of Fraggle Rock, I recommend you do too.

Fraggle Rock DVD, 2005-01-17
The main reason I got this DVD is because of my favorite Fraggle: Boober! Boober Fraggle is awesome! I especially liked the episode in which he has a principle role: Boober Gorg. This DVD is awesome! Get it now! It's a perchase you won't regret!

Finally what Fraggle Rockers have been waiting for..., 2005-01-13
I'm sure i'm not the only one who couldn't wait to see Fraggle Rock on DVD. It's still not a complete season but we'll take what we can get. On this particular Dvd as it mentions above it features the episodes: br /1.Boober Gorg br /2.Blanket of Snow/Blanket of Woe br /and br /3.Inspector Red. br / br /Other fun fraggle features not mentioned: a look into different ways Doc and Sprocket are seen around the world, Fraggle-oke Featuring the songs "I'm a little Stew Pot" and "Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe," and a trivia game that unlocks the episode "Home is where the trash is," featuring the oh so evil villian wander mcmooch. br / br /You also might recall a fraggle rock animated series that sometimes would show up on Disney channel. An episode from that is also included where boober convinces everyone to leave Fraggle Rock. br / br /A Non Fraggle Feature is a short claymation film called Pingu, about a family of penguins. I found it to be a fun surprise to be included. br / br /This Dvd really doesn't skip out on content so have fun watching the episodes like you remembered them. If you've never seen the show I'm sorry for using such cryptic language. If you Enjoy Music and Adventure your sure to love this dvd. It's truly for the kid in all of us.
