Fraggle Rock | |
Air Date | March 14, 1983 |
Written by | Jerry Juhl |
Director | Perry Rosemond |
While Gobo is in Outer Space looking for Matt's postcard, Doc decides to board up the hole in the wall leading to Fraggle Rock. While Gobo dodges Doc and Sprocket, his friends launch a rescue mission. Mokey and Boober work on breaking the boards, while Red and Wembley try to rescue him by following Marjory the Trash Heap's advice: "Don't cry over spilt milk."
Fraggle Facts
- There aren't any cows in Fraggle Rock, or any agriculture. Where do you suppose Fraggles get milk from?
- While I could think of quite a few ways the Fraggles could get milk (Fraggle Rock is huge, so there may be agriculture in some part of it we do not know about. Or at least some creatures that Fraggles can milk) I REALLY wonder how it comes that Gobo knows about Santa Clause. This episode was aired years before A Muppet Family Christmas.
- Actually this is the first episode that indicates that Mokey and Gobo are very close. The theme is picked up in Mokey´s Funeral and New Trash Heap In Town.
Notes
- This episode marks the first appearance of the swoopfoomer.
- During the mail call Doc receives a letter from Kermit, perhaps an inside reference to Kermit the Frog.
- "Kick a Stone" is sung to the same tune as "The Way I've Got to Go" from the later episode "All Work and All Play."
- While this is the tenth episode of the series, it was recorded in April 14, 1982 as the second. It's also the shortest episode of the series. Due to its length, it's (surprisingly) the only episode that aired on The Hub to feature the full version of the opening sequence. It's also the last episode to air on the Hub.
