Customer Reviews

just awful

So i broke down and bought this today. I had originally bought the first five single dvd's that came out (where it all began, dance your cares away, etc.), then rebought most of those epesodes with the first three season releases. I figured, "What the heck. I'll suck it up and buy it." Let me tell you that those of you who decided not too are better off. This is just awful.

First, the packaging is horrible. The binder like book that the dvd's are held in makes it very easy for them to fall out and come loose in the box. When first opened it, about a third of the discs were out of the sleeves.

Second is the Bonus material. there are some new on disc pieces that were not offered on the first three sets, but thats pretty much it. none of the extra little things that made the other sets fun (like the character art pages from season three). The only non-disc extra in the box is a poster sized concept art picture of "The fraggle rock universe".

And third, it even lacks the one sentence synopsis of the episodes that was included with the other season releases. It just lists the names of the episodes on the pages opposite the discs.

It seems that all the thought that went into making the first three season sets special went right out the door when they came up nwith the idea for this set. It's simply a plan to drain money out of fans, and i guess they got away with one here. I higly reccommend NOT BUYING THIS SET. rather wait and hope they release the fourth season by itself with some actual thought for the fans.

Hope this helps at least one person.

Add my name to the no sale list
I simply refuse to support such greed. The internet has ways around such things. And companies wonder why piracy is so rampant.

***EDIT***

I wound up purchasing this set since I found people to gift my old sets... I truly wish I hadn't. The packaging is HORRID!

13 of the 20 discs were floating free in the box. This will happen with nearly every set as the design has no way to lock the discs into notebook-style sleeves.

There are also no nifty trinkets such as Henson's notebook & pitchbook as found in 1 & 2 and Frith's sketches in set 3. There is a basic map of Fraggle Rock.... big deal.

For those being tempted to give away their old sets to pick this up... DON'T!!!

Complete Series? Yes. Season 4 box set? No.
--- SEE EDIT AT BOTTOM ---

The first comment is correct: HIT Entertainment currently has no plans to release an individual box set of the fourth (and final) season of Fraggle Rock. Of all TV series to be released on DVD, this is the first to put out a complete series mega-set without finishing the season-by-season run.

Those of you (and there are MANY) who purchased the first three seasons since 2005 are stuck having to re-buy 75% of the series if you want to finish your collections.

If you want an individual Season 4 box set of Fraggle Rock, please let HIT know! Fan support (and consumer correspondence) is what convinced them to release season box sets in the first place. Your support CAN help change their minds.

HIT Entertainment no longer distributes Fraggle Rock for the Jim Henson Company. If you wish to see an individual Season 4, the best bet would now be to contact Henson directly. They welcome consumer comments on their Twitter account, which is probably the most efficient way to get in touch with them:
