Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series Collection [DVD]

This item is ideal if you haven't bought the other editions by now or it is indeed a lovely gift to a nephew or niece who is still to discover Fraggle Rock.I do think Hit should have issued a stand alone edition as well as this box set since not everyone can afford to re-buy what they already own nor should they have too in order to access the last series. As you can see from all these reviews it was possibly not the best marketing venture for Hit to take.I do believe however that a stand alone edition will be on sale eventually ... I mean, they would be foolish not to do this. I do believe that this box-set is worth every penny and if you did buy this item for your family then it will be worth the cost and no doubt it will be something of a collectors item one day ... however these things are to be enjoyed, life is too short!So, yes I agree with everyone here but I like to believe that Hit wanted to create something wonderful for the fans and I imagine this is something of a Swans song, for as much as I would love Fraggle Rock to return it may not hit all the right notes again. It will be interesting to see what they can do with the Fraggle world since season four wrapped up many ideas which had been running through out the series ... the Gorgs were at peace with the Fraggles ... the Doozers and the Fraggles understood each other more fully and Doc came to see the wonder of another world and grew, spiritually I would say, as a result of this encounter.Fraggle Rock has not been released in England in the same fashion, in series box sets, since someone lost all the master tapes and only 12 episodes remain. For me I will always love the idea of Fraggle Rock existing under a light house, just off the coast of Scotland; as this reinforced the idea Fraggle Rock offered, that it was a beacon for a better world and like a light house, guided it's audience to better shores. Falton Mackay was the Captain of Fraggle Rock Light House and Sprocket (puppeteered by David Barclay and Louise Gold over here) still retained his proud, stubborn and playful manner. I also loved the juxtaposition between the real world and the Fraggle World; the light house scenes were airy, with the sounds of seagulls out side and the waves against rocks and this contrasted the subterranean world of Fraggle Rock beautifully. I would still like to think that the British version will one day appear but till then, this is a wonderful reminder and we have at least 12 episodes. So, yes, I have bought this item....

well 5 stars for the set no stars for what hit is doing.i hate to say this but hit knows there are people like me thats not willing to take the chance on them not releaseing the last set.its happen to me to miny times.so im not willing to take that chance.thats a dirty trick hit.you dirty the name of fraggle rock.you should of gave the people the choice of witch they want to get. ill try to sell my 3 set of them but i have a feeling thats not going to be easy with out the 4th one.and im not going to buy the 4th just so i can sell them if you did later on release it.i hate greedy people like yall.well i just about have all the shows i want other then new shows that come out from time to time.so people like you cant milk me no more. >8-)ok iv added my two cents in on this ideal.sorry folks im just not a risk taker.i feel for yall too.but i love my shows more then my own life.for yall takeing the risk i hope you get your 4th later at least. good luck!here an update... i just got it.well they goffed it up big time.there is nothing to hold the disks in place so in shiping they all come out and got messed up.what was they thinking?and on top of it you cant set it upright. the cover come off. you can only set it flat. what a joke.i wish they just released the 4th set id been a lot happyer. geting replacement will not help you they will be the same way. so if you want to wait it out and hope the 4th set comes out that be the best thing to do.im crazy for doing this but ill keep it just in case they dont release the 4th set. im just not a risk taker.so if you go for this box set you know what you will get.all will do the same thing.its up to you to decide what your going to do now.hope this helps. good luck!

I love fraggle rock. I bought each of the individual seasons put out by this company, and was very upset when they announced they were not putting out a stand alone set for the last season, but instead would have to purchase the entire series (thereby repurchasing the 3 seasons I'd already bought from them..) This annoyed a LOT of muppet fans.Anyway, I now have this as well. A lot of people had problems with disks being scratched to the point where they needed to get replacement disks. I got lucky and do not seem to have had that problem, though nearly half my disks were loose on arrival. The packaging looks great, but is really impractical. It does not fit well on most shelves intended for dvd collections, it is a complicated, multi-step process to get in and out, and the disks do not stay well inside the cardboard sleeves. This leads to lots of sliding in and out, causing the disks to be scratched and damaged.Like most people I've talked to who have this, I've taken the disks out and placed them in a different case and this big piece of art they call packaging, is sitting elsewhere off by itself.It is a shame that this company made some of the decisions they did. They alienated a lot of their customers and most of us will think several times before buying any sort of series from them.The show itself is, of course, as wonderful now as it was originally, and it is a testament to that fact that so many of us have put up with this mess and basically bought the series twice in order to get the final season. I wish I could give this 5 stars.. for the show.. definately rates that, but the packaging and HIT's decisions have to knock a few stars off..

Very pleased

NHKで放映されていたことがあるのが懐かしい人なら、おすすめです。ただし、これは全部英語なので、副音声で見ていた人ではないならちょっと感じが違うのにとまどうかも。今現在、このシリーズを全部そろえるには、これを買うしかありません。アメリカでも、他の方が書いているように、１、２、３とシリーズを出してきて、４と５を出さずにいきなり「全部入り」を出したので「前に買った人を馬鹿にしている」と評判が悪いレビューが多くて、たしかにもっともだと思います。が、まだひとつももっていない！ということならこれは買いだと思います。　箱…はじゃまだし、CDがはさまっているファイルはおせじにも使いやすいとは言えないし、リージョンコードは「アメリカ」なので、使いづらいことは確かですが、「他に手に入れる方法がない」以上は、仕方ないと思うほかないので星マイナス１つ。中身だけなら、星５つで。
