* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: You'd be hard-pressed to get a copy of the complete original network broadcast version on an actual tape, because the official home video releases had to cut out several scenes due to music rights issues. And don't hold your breath Disney will release the special uncut, since even though all Disney would have to do is pay small licencing fees to Sesame Workshop and The Jim Henson Company for the use of the ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/FraggleRock'' characters in the special, they seem unwilling to do so. While putting the special on Creator/DisneyPlus may be a possibility, a physical disc release seems unlikely - especially since Disney stopped issuing deep catalog content on new [=DVDs=] in the late 2000s. As of this writing, the uncut broadcast (with a few seconds missing at the beginning) is on Website/YouTube.

* ActingForTwo:
** Robin the Frog converses with Gobo Fraggle when he and Kermit visit Fraggle Rock. Both Robin and Gobo were performed by Jerry Nelson, who used a similar voice for both characters.
** Bert and Grover also talk to each other, both played by Frank Oz. They don't directly talk to each other, but the Oz-portrayed Animal and Cookie Monster also share a scene (with Animal impressed by Cookie devouring a whole plate of cookies).

** The European release supposedly has all of the songs intact and is only missing a couple scenes that were cut out of the master copy to accommodate ad breaks for broadcast. Still, [[NoExportForYou don't expect it in America anytime soon]]. This cut was also shown on television, including Canadian family network YTV and on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, throughout the 90's and early 2000's. The last known broadcast in the US was on the Hallmark Channel in 2002.

There's a lot of misinformation about this special and rights issues out there, let's set the record straight please.
