Produced by:	HIT! Entertainment Jim Henson Home Entertainment
Release Date:	2008
Discs:	20
Region:	1

Fraggle Rock: Complete Series Collection is a 2008 DVD box set that contains all 96 episodes of Fraggle Rock, plus hours of behind-the-scenes bonus features distributed over 20 discs.

Discs 1-15 are re-releases of the content from the first, second and third season box sets released from 2005-2007. Discs 16-20, which include the fourth season episodes and all-new bonus features, were only available on this set at first, but were re-released a year later as a stand-alone set.

According to Lionsgate marketing VP Kristin Moss, the packaging is meant to be displayed: "On the front we have special printing and techniques that were created to match this really vibrant color of the inside of the Fraggle Rock world. And then inside the box has 20 discs, and the overall piece takes over two hours to assemble, each individual box, and it's all done by hand. So again, it's something that's taken very carefully and very special consideration to create a piece that's both collectible and really cool for, you know, all the fans out there.^[1]"

Releases

Lionsgate reissued the 20-disc set in a smaller, more traditional, and less elaborate box in 2009.
In honor of the 30th anniversary of Fraggle Rock, the set was re-released by Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment on May 14, 2013. The main disc content and features are the same, and new extras were added, including the complete animated series, newly discovered interviews, a Red Fraggle plush key chain and a new exclusive Fraggle Rock graphic novel.

Notes

A new short starring Red Fraggle was originally planned to be produced as a special feature, but was dropped due to time reasons.^[2] Also dropped was a planned feature showcasing alternative show opens from the UK series.[cite]

In Australia, a limited edition box set was also released in 2009. It contains 20 discs with all 4 seasons, the cartoon series and a bonus disc of extras with Henson's Place and Down at Fraggle Rock: Behind the Scenes in storybook packaging.
