I bought this dvd thinking it was a "christmas special" only to be tricked by the cover and title to find out its actually 3 episodes from the series that are already on the boxset I own. The episodes are "The Bells of Fraggle Rock", The Grapes of Generosity" and "The perfect Blue Rollie". As far as extras, i havent watched them yet but not only was I folled by the title, they add as an extra "Emmit Otter's Jug-band Christmas singalong"..umm anything original guys? Also included was an animated epiosde, "a look at Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy" and 2 games.
If you dont already own the seasons or the box set then get this dvd for holiday fun, But if you already own the series, you already have the episodes and we all have to come to the realization that there is no offical "Fraggle holiday special" :(

I already have the complete seasons of Fraggle Rock on DVD. I got this one knowing that I would be repeating episodes that I have already. It just made it more simple to get this set and keep it with my Christmas collection. This way I do not have to mess with my complete set and therefore keep it looking new. I really enjoy watching "The Bells Of Fraggle Rock" around Christmas time with my children as well as my granddaughters. Trust me, it is worth having just to see the smile and laughter on your children faces as well as knowing that your complete set of Fraggle Rock is safe from harm.

I really loved the Fraggles from childhood, and I was trying to get in the Christmas spirit, but the DVD after the first episode did not really help me get there. The first one is very cool, and talks about the Winter Solstice and how different people around the world celebrate the holidays, but the other two episodes seem to just be filler!

However, my little cousins loved the games that are under the Bonus Features, and seeing an episode of the animated version on the DVD is also cool...so I can't be too hard on it. Just be advised...the DVD is not ALL about the holidays

Recently, I was clearing my parents house out and found a box of old toys, including a bunch of Fraggle dolls that I had as a kid. When I mentioned this to my sister, she said she heard that Fraggles were making a comeback with a new movie coming out. Sure enough, when I checked Amazon, the complete series was available. It was such a joy to see this again. This is a great show for kids (or nostalgic adults). The puppetry is great. The show is very musical, but the songs (by and large) aren't corny or annoying. Some of them are actually a bit tender. The episodes often deal with themes like prejudice and the environment.

That being said, I'd recommend getting the newer Fraggle Rock: Complete Series Collection DVD set. It has the complete series (as opposed to just a few episodes as on this product). For the price, it's a steal. I hope you enjoy your time "down in Fraggle Rock"!

My daughter and her daughter are having fun with this. Nostalgic for one, brand new to the other. Fun.

This DVD is just three fraggle episodes that BARELY have any christmas content at all. Besides, these episodes are not the best ones to begin with. Dissapointing and not worth it. "A Muppet Family Christmas" although hard to find, is the BEST Christmas DVD ever!! Had Fraggles, Muppets and Sesame Street!!

I always loved the Fraggles. And this DVD was fun to watch with my grandson. He liked it a lot.
