| Fraggle Rock | |
| Air Date | February 14, 1983 |
| Written by | Jerry Juhl |
| Director | Jim Henson |
Mokey: What a nice man he is! You can sort of see why they call him Convincing John.
Red: Well, he convinced you to wear plastic cups on your hands.
Mokey decides that it's wrong to eat Doozer constructions, and she tries to persuade the other Fraggles to quit the habit, even though the constructions are the Fraggles' favorite thing to eat. She goes so far as to enlist the help of Convincing John, the Fraggle who can convince anyone to do anything. When Convincing John joins Mokey's crusade, the Fraggles learn of the dangers of upsetting the balance of nature. Meanwhile, Doc tries to sew a button to a fried egg.
Songs
- "Why?"
- "Convincing John"
Supporting Cast
Fraggle Fact
- Once a Fraggle calls for the Solemn Oath of the Fraggles, all the others must swear by it. Only the Fraggle who called for the Oath can allow the others to break it.
Notes
- This episode reveals the environmental connection between the Fraggles and the Doozers. Doozers don't mind when the Fraggles eat their constructions, because it frees up more space for the Doozers to keep building. When the Fraggles stop eating the constructions, the Doozers decide they must leave Fraggle Rock, as they will die if they cannot build.
- Convincing John is one of Jim Henson's two recurring characters; he appears again in later seasons.
