Fraggle Facts

• Every year on a Fraggle's birthday, he goes to the Trash Heap for birthday wisdom.

Notes

• Felix the Fearless, the head of the rescue squad, makes his first appearance in this episode. He's actually a complete fool, but someone has to run the rescue squad and Felix volunteered. Upon hearing of the cave-in, Felix jumps into action: "Okay, here's my plan -- everybody line up in alphabetical order!" His other, equally helpless appearance is in the fourth season episode "Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water."
