Who here remembers this show? I was checking out the first episode on netflix.com. I can't believe it's been over 20 years since I last saw this show on HBO.

    Awesome show. Soundtrack to my youth along with the Muppet Show and the ensuing movies...

    I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. Way better than the Muppets IMO.

    aw, I used to love Fraggle Rock...I haven't seen it in ages though. I guess you can probably get it on dvd?
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    You're always welcome here.

    Fall in New England is like nothing else on Earth. Breathtakingly beautiful. I enjoy doing foliage rides through New Hampshire and Vermont during peak time, usually mid-October.

    Be careful, I may well take you up on that...can we influence where PJ play the 20th anniversary show? :D;)

    ...and Fraggle Rock is a great place to visit, I can't guarantee Dozers though!

    Loved that show as a kid.. My wife and I have decided to buy all the old classics on DVD for our daughter to watch. I am grabbing all the old Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Tom and Jerry etc... We are not big fans of the "cartoons" these days. I am sure she will watch some of that stuff but we want her to see the old stuff also.


    I just got Emmet Otters Jug Band Christmas for her.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?
