There once was a time when puppets ruled the world. If you were a kid growing up in the 80s, you know what I mean ...
We learned several life lessons from watching Sesame Street and the Muppets, including how to count to 100 (The Count), share cookies (Cookie Monster), how to stay positive and enjoy rainbows (Kermit the Frog).
But it was Fraggle Rock that reached out to young viewers on a deeper level, offering amusing yet educational episodes on prejudice, social conflict and other complex issues in a happy place known as Fraggle Rock.
Just this week, Variety reported that the series will be turned into a live-action musical film with a mix of human characters and Fraggle Rock puppets. I can't wait to see it!
In the meantime, check out the intro to my fave childhood show:

I loved and still love fraggle rock. Thats great to hear. All this reality tv and ridiculous antics of tv of late, is depressing.
Can wait to show fraggle rock to my little cousins. Awesome
I sit in front of corris, or behind her depending on which way you walk the aisle here in the pet rock offices.
i had no idea she was blogging this but as soon as i heard the video play from her computer, i was right in step with the clapping. scary how these things get stuck in weird cortexes of our brains.
Oh how I wish they would put shows like this back on the air! I agree, these reality shows are ridiculous.
Does anyone remember "Emmet Otters Jug Band"??
