I purchased this for my Grandson. I had spent time watching these years ago with my daughter and I thought that they represented a great opportunity to teach toddlers all sorts of different things. I'm so pleased that they are just as viable a teaching tool today as they were years ago. He really enjoys them.....and so do I. I have purchased the first and second seasons and will definitely be looking for the third season. Really a great opportunity to enjoy good clean entertainment without the violence, blood and guts of today's video games.....which I deplore!

Fraggle Rock is a kiddy show starring Jim Hensons muppets. The project came from Jim Henson before his death and was shown on HBO in the eighties. Fraggles are childlike (maybe the equivalent of a 10 year old?) muppets who sing, dance, and play the day away in whimsical underground caverns. The themes of the show are sharing, finding your inner strengths, combating kiddy fears and neuroses with folksy singing and lovable characters. Some of my favorite bits on the show feature a fraggle named Uncle Traveling Matt who is exploring "outer space" (aka the human world) that we all inhabit. He is adept at comedically pointing out the follies and odd habits of humanity with a gentle curiosity. The most annoying thing about the Fraggle seasons is the poorly designed packaging (seriously difficult to get to the disks and even more annoying to close the packaging. I have a 5 year old who is completely enamored with the Fraggles. Good child appropriate themes, minimal violence (there is a "Gorg" character who represents intolerance that occasionally catches a fraggle, but they always escape safely in the end. Roseanne Barr is way more scary than the Gorgs), super show if you have younger kids brought forth from the same creators and muppetteers that did The Muppet Show.Read full review
I've rented Fraggle Rock several times at the mail me movies plan and always keep them a month! I thought buying would be smarter. My daughter will pay me for this and we'll call it a christmas present. Season two has a song in it called "Yes I can" which sounded like Obama's theme. And the price was right. I just wish I could get season 1 for as low a price. Maybe after holidays. Dislike? that I have to wait till Christmas to watch it!! it's a present, you know! Laugh your cares away, Worries for another day! Let the Fraggles Play, Down at Fraggle Rock. and the interviews with Jim Hensen are amazing! he has kermie's voice! Cat I turned 60 last June and still know where to find happiness!! ((in Fraggle Rock))
The reason for the purchase, is because I had noticed my daughter reading a Fraggle Rock book for a school reading assignment(3rd Grade). I had asked her if she ever seen the show and she said, no. It made me and my wife think back to when we were younger and how we used to watch the show on HBO and thought it would be good to see it again. So I purchased it and we have been watching it together. It was a good show then and I thought it would be something good for my daughter to watch now.
Our whole family loves this show. It’s hard to find something everyone enjoys and I even like it. Much better than any show that is on tv now for kids.
