Adam Savage Meets a Real Fraggle Rock Puppet!
Рет қаралды 84,325
Күн бұрынIt's always a good day when we come face to face with a Muppet, and Adam is overjoyed to meet a rare original puppet from the classic show Fraggle Rock! Along with Propstore's Stephen Lane, Adam admires the construction of this character, including the ways the feathers on its head and fur on its body gives it personality that complements the performance of the puppeteer.

Fraggle Rock had such a huge impact on my life. I didn't really realize how much it affected me until I re-watched it with my daughter. So much of my personal world view was shaped by those goofy little puppets. Fun fact: Sugith Varughese who was also on The Expanse, he played David Paster(also played Mr. Mehta on Kim's Convenience), was one of the writers on Fraggle Rock.

One of my best memories of the fraggles is, if I remember right, one of the characters was called booper fraggle. I remember making friends with a kid, and his significantly older brother had the nickname of booper. Almost 40 years later I meet a kid at work, recognize the last name and asked, is you're dad's name xxx, he says yeah, why? I said I grew up with him and remember your uncle booper, (can't remember the guys real name to save my ass,) and he goes, my dad remembers you, but I have 2 older uncles, and i have no idea who "booper" is.

I got a quick 'walk-through' of the living-room set for the TV series 'Dinosaurs' during their first season. Pretty much what you'd expect, but what floored me was how badly the place stunk of paint, glue and other volatile things. The prop-guy explained that they are constantly repairing and re-painting the set, props and puppets...filming while paint was still tacky at times. With full ventilation to control lighting-heat it wasn't so bad, but the air in the set was toxic after sitting closed up for a day or so.

I see a lot of people trying to place this guy, or thinking he was a main character. According to the auction, "this Fraggle is one of a horde of unnamed background characters that followed Gobo, Mokey, Wembley and Red on assorted escapades. He can be seen in various episodes wearing different costumes, but his slightly wonky eyes remain consistent." He may not have been a main player, but he's still amazing 😃
