Throwback Thrusday: Fraggle Rock

One of my all time favorite kids shows. It aired in the mid to late 80's on HBO but re-runs were aired on the Disney channel in the 90's, which is when I watched it. What ever happened to great shows like this?

For those who don't know Fraggle Rock was a children's live action puppet television program series created by Jim Henson. The central characters were a set of "Muppet" creatures called Fraggles. “Fraggle Rock” showed a colorful and fun world. While the program was entertaining and amusing, it seriously dealt with such issues as prejudice, spirituality, personal identity, environment, and social conflict. The show became a worldwide hit, like Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.

Lets see if this jogs some memories... here are some the of more popular characters from the show: You can't start an episode of Fraggle Rock without Doc and Sproket! Gobo Fraggle: the main character and the leader of the Fraggles Red Fraggle: My favorite of all the fraggles Doozers were the small critters that worked in the caves of Fraggle Rock This family of Gorgs lived outside of Fraggle Rock and they claimed to be the rulers of the universe. The Trash Heap, a wise being (referred to as an "oracle"), serves as the garbage dump of the Gorgs.

Well I sure hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane together. Soon we will be able to enjoy this gem of a show again, because Fraggle Rock: The Movie will be released in 2012.

Absent

I have been away for 3 months... but with good and unpreventable reasons. Husband and I moved to North Carolina on the 31st of December and I had to go through training from the 4th of January til the 8th of March (no computer access). I checked into my new command and I have finally been given computer access here at work. My new job affords me plenty of free time so I should be able to keep up with my blog. For now at least. Once we get closer to a deployment I may be a bit more busy.

So for my blog I have decided on the following themes:
Madness Monday- Weird and/or crazy news story that got my attention over the weekend
Couldn't think of anything that rhymes with Tuesday- I will talk about anything I want (most likely myself)
Wordless Wednesday- Pictures and ONLY pictures of crap I like/find interesting
Throwback Thursday- Stories/pictures/whatever/ etc from the past
Freedom Fridays- Reasons why I think America is AWESOME!!!

I know I don't have followers but it's no biggie... my mom reads it (at least she says she does) and that all that matters.
