Wembley gives radish-gathering a try with Mokey.
Every Fraggle has to work a grueling thirty minutes a week, and it's Wembley's turn to choose a job. All of his friends have jobs -- Gobo collects messages from Traveling Matt, Mokey gathers radishes from the Gorgs' Garden, Red cleans the pool, and Boober does the laundry. Now Wembley has to decide what he wants to do... but can he choose before the pressure makes him explode?

Notes
- This was the first Fraggle Rock episode to be produced; it was recorded on March 10, 1982. There was a gap between the production of this episode and the rest; the second episode shot -- "Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk" was recorded in mid-April.
- Dave Goelz, the Muppeteer who performs Uncle Traveling Matt, makes a cameo appearance in Matt's scene. When Matt boards a roller coaster, Goelz is sitting next to him, performing Matt. Goelz has a false arm on the back of the roller coaster. Pay close attention to the shot in which Matt stands up.
