Notes

• This episode was directed by Muppeteer Richard Hunt.
• Murray the Minstrel is played in this episode by Gord Robertson, rather than Steve Whitmire.
• The episode includes several references to the first season of the show. When Gobo goes to retrieve his postcard, he hums a tune similar to "Workin'" from the first episode taped. Later, Cantus asks the Fraggles to look for songs within them, which he told them in his first appearance. The swoopfoomer also appears from the first season episode "Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk".
• As a sign of how the relationship between the Gorgs and the Fraggles has progressed throughout the series, Junior is seen giving Gobo a horn for the Honk of the Honks.
