Fraggle Rock
Air Date May 9, 1983
Written by Jocelyn Stevenson
Director Jim Henson

The Minstrels, wandering Fraggle musicians led by the enigmatic and wise Cantus, arrive at the Fraggles' cave, announcing that a medley will be sung the next day. Red is chosen as Song Leader, but the medley won't begin until Red finds the song inside her -- and she doesn't know where to look!

Fraggle Facts

  • This episode reveals another clue about the size of Fraggle Rock. The Minstrels -- who Gobo and his friends have never seen before -- arrive in the cave and explain that they travel around, "finding Fraggles in distant caves," and leading medleys. For Cantus and the Minstrels to have enough places to go for them not to have been here within recent memory, the Rock must be huge.

Notes

  • This episode is the first appearance of Cantus and the Minstrels, who reappear whenever music and wisdom are needed.
  • For a cute reaction to Cantus' mystical way of talking watch the reactions of the Minstrels when Murray asks if Cantus actually answered his question. Brio shakes her head no, Balsom nods yes and Brool just shrugs.
