Fraggle Rock's just great. I love almost everything about it. I wish there were a Fraggle Rock soundtrack, because I could listen to a lot of those songs for a good long while, too.
I'm noticing one or two things that I hadn't noticed before, too. For example, Gobo, the leader of the Fraggle gang, is Canadian. At least if if we're judging by his accent.
Also, the Fraggles exist in the same universe as some iteration of the Muppet Show cast; at one point, Doc gets a letter from Kermit.
It's a bit kiddy, maybe, but I kind of want a plush Gobo now.

Jason, there is a Fraggle Rock soundtrack. I have it on cassette.
Or, rather, there was at some point a Fraggle Soundtrack, and I managed to smuggle a demo copy out of the Henson studio before it closed. I've played it for you before. Don't tell me you've forgotten already.

Rich - Oh man.
Bard - Hhrmph.
Eric - Of course I've forgotten. Please see previous comment sections where Ogre has taken me to task for my crappy memory. Was it a good soundtrack?

It's not bad, although I didn't watch a whole lot of Fraggle Rock growing up. I bet that if I was more familiar with the songs from the series I'd treasure it more. Not that I don't treasure it now. That exentded version of the theme song kicks tail!

Jason, I think it is sweet that you want a plush Gobo. When is your birthday? :)

Aww, thanks Sarah! That's a nice thought but, no, sorry, I don't celebrate my birthday. People don't get me presents and I don't tell when I was born. It's just a thing I have. Thanks for the thought, though!

I think.

Sorry, I'm just to get you a plush Gobo.

*grr* Thou shalt not post with an inner-ear infection that impares thy thinking skills.
Sorry.

:( Feel better, Bekah.
But my birthday isn't July 8th.
