- POSTED: AUGUST 18, 2007 -

After the great success of the first two seasons on DVD, Fraggle fans are very excited to see HIT Entertainment's commitment to this legendary series carry on.

The third, penultimate season of Fraggle Rock continues with the wonderful stories, performances, music and magic that made the series a landmark in children's television. Many unforgettable episodes are found in the third season, including "The Secret Society of Poobahs," "Gobo's School for Explorers," "Scared Silly," "Born to Wander," "Playing Till It Hurts," "Gunge the Great and Glorious," "Sprocket's Big Adventure" and "Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water." And it all starts off with the beautiful Christmas episode "The Bells of Fraggle Rock."

Aside from all 24 outstanding episodes, we will again be treated to a satisfying bonus disc full of all-new material. For the third time, the cast and crew of Fraggle Rock will provide us with new interviews detailing their experiences working on the show. New interviewees include workshop supervisor Tim Miller, series designer Michael K. Frith and puppeteer Kathy Mullen (Mokey Fraggle and Cotterpin Doozer). Individual features include "Under Construction," "The Puppet Collection," "The Hall of Fame," "The Hall of Fraggles," "The Fraggleterium" and "Fraggle Gardens." Also for the third time, we are presented with a marvelous facsimile of production work: included is a compilation of more than 50 of Michael K. Frith's original artwork sketches. The delightful packaging from the first two seasons (a full colored, glossy, embossed "book-style" box with turning pages) should also continue for this set.

HIT Entertainment's fantastic treatment of this series has been received with praise and joy from fans everywhere and no doubt continues in this third installment. With only the fourth season left to be issued on DVD (most likely in 2008) and with a new 3-CD box set of Fraggle music planned to release conjunctionally with this DVD collection in the fall, never has there been a better time to be a fan of one of Jim Henson's greatest and most beloved works. A show such as Fraggle Rock deserves nothing less.

Fraggle Rock fans just can't get enough!

The Third Season of the incredibly popular Fraggle Rock TV show is finally out in stores, and if you have never seen or heard of the Fraggles, you must have been under a rock. Along with the success of the Muppets, Jim Henson and company created the Fraggles, a world inhabited by doozers, Gorgs, and fraggles.

Doozers are small, but industrious. Gorgs and big, hairy, and always entertaining. Fraggles just do..they get in trouble, learn lessons, and hide from the human in the room. Their adventures are amazing. In their world bordered by the human and the Gorgs, Wembley, Red, Gobo, Mokey, Boober and Uncle Matt live and learn enthusiastically.

The Henson team created a rich tapestry like background for the series. Brightly colored sets, amazing puppets, and characters that encouraged a child-like fascination with the outside world made this a global hit. The five disc set includes all 24 episodes where Red finds a thief, Gobo gets the pebble pox, Wembley finds a bad genie, Gobo starts a school for explorers, the Gorgs fix their leaking roof, Gobo searches for the original doozer cave, the festivals of the bells goes off with a ring, and Wembley discovers carbonation.

In terms of special features, the set includes interviews and short documentaries on the cave of Fraggle Rock, the Trash heap, puppet design and operation, and a suitcase full of conceptual art.
The DVD's even make this set different, with preprinted pictures of the main characters on them, and episode summaries to the left of the disc.

Classy is only one way to describe this set. Entertaining. Well Designed. These are classy productions that will(and do) enchant viewers of all ages. Fraggle Rock was Henson at his peak. No muppet/puppet fan should be without.

Fraggle Rock is good clean fun for kids and adults. No matter what your age is this show is fun and entertaining to watch. If you have small children, the lessons that this show teaches are great life lessons and can help a person become a good citizen. The show teaches lessons without letting you on that that's what the purpose of the show is in the first place. Love all the Fraggle Rock DVD's!!!

Loved the Fraggle series growing up, the single season DVD's are excellent. Here's hoping they release season 4+ singly also, as I've heard bad reviews of the complete boxed set.

I grew up watching this series and have been collecting the complete series as fast as I can ... as for my feelings, I love it

I bought this for my husband's birthday. We LOVE Fraggle Rock! Now, if only I could find the fourth season...

I bought this after I got season one for christmas and then bought the second season on my own. I am addicted to Fraggles now just as I was back then! What is satisfying beyond the show itself, though, is the continuation of some of my favorite packaging. The dvd box set itself is very nicely put together (though I probably wouldn't let a child play with it, as it IS cardboard!) and the colors and design rich and are a great addition to my shelf. And, of course, it comes again with a little "booklet surprise" which in this season is a miniature version of the sketchbook that some of the ideas for the show sprung from. I always look forward to these every season because the presentation of these books that accompany them are amazing in their own right, and shed some interesting light on the making of the show.

If you are looking for a great show that you can share with your kids, and get into with them, I highly recommend this and the other seasons of Fraggle Rock! Know what you're kids are watching!

Bought this for my daughter on her request because as a child she loved the show. She still does.

Can't get enough of these fraggles had to get all three seasons simply the best. Very educational and lots of music and goodies
