* * HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY JIM
HENSON - Thanks for Fraggle Rock !! *
* *
Jim's legacy is not one of riches
and powerful empires. Jim's visions were always pure and
from the heart. That genuine spirit shines in everything
he created and every life that he touched with his genius
creativity. He believed that simple was good - and from
that came some of the most beloved characters in the history of
entertainment. Nothing in this world makes me happier than
an episode of Fraggle Rock, a classic Manamana clip, or Dancing
around the living room to Labyrinth's "Dance Magic Dance" with my
daughter. Thank you Jim for everything you gave the world,
and the shoes you left behind to be filled by future
generations.
And for those reading this in the next 24 hours... the highest
honor:
Jim's Google Doodle!

Fraggle Rock Fun Facts
According to
Uncle Matt's book on Fraggle Rock, "The center of the
universe is, of course, that marvelous land known as Fraggle
Rock. It is thus called because it is a Rock and Fraggles
live there."
According to
Boober's book of diseases, the symptoms of bacterial
sufferosis are funny hair and a weird voice.
The Storyteller
is one of the few Fraggles who perform a ritual function in
Fraggle Rock. (Others include Cantus the Minstrel, the
World's Oldest Fraggle, and Archbanger Fraggle.) The
Storyteller's job is to remember the oral history of the
Fraggles, and she'll tell any story on request
The Gorgs live
for a very long time. Pa Gorg has been saying that he's
going to fix the same clock for 104 years.
"The Thirty
Minute Work Week" was the first episode of Fraggle Rock ever
produced.
Gorgs are 22 feet
tall!
A Gorg Prince
must grow his bride by planting the peas of power. It
will grow into a Princess at the break of dawn.
"The Hub" (formerly Discovery
Kids) is a new network for kids and their families! Along
with a WIDE variety of great shows, is FRAGGLE ROCK! It
airs several times a day, so check your local listings.
My baby and I are enjoying Fraggle Rock today, just like I did
as a child. Fraggle Rock is even on-demand! What a
wonderful world!
Thank you HUB for giving us
something fun to watch!
