    @AKM---he also worked for another childrens Canadian show called Mr. Dress-up. Mr. Dress-up was a drunk! He worked with Jim Henson directly and said he was a lovely man. My grandparents had Ann Murray over for dinner often (before I was born).
    I also don't think I ever mentioned I was friends with one of Robert Munches daughters---but haven't seen her in years.

    Fraggle Rock is one those shows that was so awesome then and if you watch it now, it still is that good.
    Derek - that's neat! : )

    Fun stuff, derek! I love Anne Murray! Grew up listening to her a lot in Tennessee, and "Snowbird" was my grandpa's favorite song (and one of my karaoke go-tos). I wish she weren't retired, but she's very happy golfing and doing LOTS of charity work, so good on her. :-)

    Robert Munsch? LOVE YOU FOREVER?! That's interesting, too. :-)
