Changes: Episode 121: Gobo's Discovery

	Fraggle Rock
Air Date	May 30, 1983
Written by	Jocelyn Stevenson
Director	Martin Lavut

Revision as of 23:11, 24 October 2012

After a bad experience venturing into Outer Space, Gobo is convinced that he never really wanted to be an explorer, and he decides to become a juggler instead.

Meanwhile, Doc is sick of people rejecting his inventions, and goes back to his original profession, being a barber.

Fraggle Facts

Boober does his laundry with Rock Soap, which can only be found in the Squeaky Cavern.

Fraggles avoid the Great Outer Maze for two reasons. The first is that they can get lost forever in it. The second, and more important, is that they could release the Invisible Garboil, a horrid monster which flattens Fraggles.

Notes

When Gobo is searching through the Great Outer Maze, he walks past Aretha, a monster who (with the addition of horns) will later be cast as Muppet Time's Huffy Monster.
One geological formation that Gobo passes is the Belching Boulder.
After Wembley and Boober make it back, Gobo is still searching for them in the Great Outer Maze and he comes across a creature which looks strikingly like Fizzgig from "The Dark Crystal," just as Boober did during "I Don't Care."

International versions

UK version: The Captain cheers for a fellow voyager returning from his journey on the sea. Uncle Matt's postcard is the same as in the US version.
