Current Events > Having a crisis regarding Fraggle Rock.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I recently got both Fraggle Rock the complete series + the animated series on DVD at Walmart. The complete series was $40 and the animated series was $10. So I'm already 50 dollars into this.

The problem is I have been looking for the Bluray edition, which has both the main series and animated series, plus a ton of extras. I can't find it in stores and at this point I'm not sure if I want to spend another $40 dollars for that.

The packaging for the DVD version...leaves a lot to be desired. The discs are literally stacked on top of each other on a peg (so if I want to watch an episode on disc 6 I have to remove discs 1 through 5 to get to it...every time.)

In addition to the special features, Bluray offers a much higher picture quality in comparison to the DVD version. I want to be able to see the Fraggles in high definition, as the series creators intended.

Oddly enough I didn't even really watch Fraggle Rock much when I was younger. The main reason I even picked up this series was because now in my adult years I've really developed, what can only be describe as, a spiritual adoration for Mokey Fraggle. The same way Christians might look fondly towards Paul the Apostle or John Baptiste, I see Mokey as this immaculate figure who stands for all that is virtuous during this difficult time in my life when we currently have an orange tyrant with the IQ of a toddler as president.

The Bluray version also comes with a life-sized cardboard cutout of Traveling Matt.

I've check Walmart & Target and nobody seems to carry the Bluray version. The question is, do I even want it?

I would've went with Red myself, but okay

FR was the first TV show I got into as a kid. My mom was a huge Jim Henson fan and my parents recorded every episode onto VHS. I still had most of the tapes until my late 20s. Literally the best children's show of all time, and still great as an adult.

I still periodically sing:

I'm always here
I'm never there
I'm never ever anywhere
Except in hete
'Cause here is where I'm in

I also have the Mokey Funko Pop.

Honestly this is a great topic I accidentally stumbled upon because Fraggle Rock is amazing.

There's no such thing as a life size cut out of traveling Matt. He's inconsistently sized. Sometimes he's the size of a small child while other times he's the size of a dog's head.

I'm 32 and loved this show when I was little. I saw it on the guide a few years ago and picked it. I couldn't last five minutes. It was terrible. A little bit of my childhood died that day.

And when I go from
Here to there
My here comes with me
Everywhere
'Til there is here
And here is where I've been
