Episode 217: Fraggle Wars

Fraggle Rock
Air Date	April 23, 1984
Written by	Laura Phillips
Director	George Bloomfield

Wembley: What exactly happens in a war?
Red: Well, Wembley, I think you have to hurt other Fraggles...on purpose.
Wembley: But I don't want to do anything like that!
Boober: Couldn't we just have a Fraggle Bake-Off instead?

When Red and Mokey go on a camping trip, they discover Fraggle Cave -- the home of gray and brown Fraggles who don't like to play and have no sense of humor. The Cave Fraggles capture Mokey, and when Red goes back to the Rock to get help, the World's Oldest Fraggle insists on renewing an age-old war against the Cave Fraggles.

Fraggle Facts

• The war between the Rock and Cave Fraggles dates back to antiquity. Even the World's Oldest Fraggle hardly remembers the war. The un-Fragglish war got so bad that they even created a weapon to use against the Cave Fraggles.

Notes

• Gobo is on an exploring trip for the entire episode, and none of Jerry Nelson's characters appear. This was a week off for Jerry!

• The lyrics for "If It Happened to You" are by Tim Wynne-Jones, instead of the usual lyricist, Dennis Lee.
