Story goes that Jim Henson was taking a long and boring trip and mused aloud, "I'd like to make a TV show that brings about world peace."The result? Fraggle Rock, produced for the CBC in Canada, and aired on HBO in the U.S. in 1983-87 and rerun several times since. The series depicts a colorful and fun world, but it's also a world with a relatively complex ecosystem. The different races of creatures are each connected through symbiosis, even though they don't realize it until the very end of the series. This was meant as an allegory of the human world, where each group is somewhat unaware of how interconnected and important they are to one another. Creating this allegorical world allowed the program to entertain and amuse while seriously exploring complex issues of prejudice, spirituality, personal identity, ecology and social conflict.The series' triumph, by far, was being able to express all of this onscreen without being Anvilicious or insulting the intelligence of its young audience. By the second season, there wasn't an issue they wouldn't tackle. The writers refused to over-simplify any individual issue, and instead simply illustrated the consequences and inherent difficulties of different actions and relationships. Though the Fraggles do learn important lessons, they are rarely self-conscious about it.And the best part? The series is a lot of fun, with wall-to-wall music and engaging characters in a fantastic, well-realized setting, making it a prime example of the kind of show you like as a kid, but "get" as an adult. It also contains some of the most astonishing and ingenious special effects ever devised for a Muppet series, thanks to a team led by Muppet veteran Faz Fazakas. HBO, understandably excited about having an exclusive on a new series from the creator of the most-watched TV series on the planet, paid the show's talent costs, allowing the CBC production team in Toronto to allocate more funds for production (using the increased budget typical of a variety show as opposed to a children's show), and it showed.The ideals of friendship, being true to yourself and learning to love those incredibly different were the cornerstones of Henson's career, and he considered Fraggle Rock to be one of the purest and most successful expressions of that vision. Although Henson delegated most of the day-to-day responsibilities of the series' production, as he was focused on The Dark Crystal and then Labyrinth at the time, he had assembled a top-notch team of professionals in every department who knew how to bring his vision to life, and did with flying colors; in turn, many Henson fans have agreed that Fraggle Rock may be his masterpiece. Unlike Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock enjoyed near universal acclaim, well liked by both criticsnote (it was a CableACE award winner and even earned a commendation from the National Educational Association before it even premiered) and audiences.note Early Nielsen surveys showed Fraggle Rock on HBO with a 13.2% rating among kids, more than six times the channel's average, and that it was watched by more viewers 11 years old and younger than the much-ballyhooed HBO premiere of Star Wars. In Canada, where one didn't need a pay television subscription to watch the show, it was even more popular, winning ratings as high as 20%. The first LP soundtrack earned a Grammy nomination and charted in the UK Top 40 (as did the theme song). And while it didn't end war in general, it was dubbed into over a dozen languages and aired in over ninety nations globally, and was the first western series broadcast in the Soviet Union... four days before the Berlin Wall came down, no less!note Henson obviously knew that his show wasn't solely responsible for ending the Cold War, but he still jokingly took the circumstances as a compliment.Spin-offs include: Fraggle Rock (1985-86): A Comic Book series published by Marvel Comics' Star Comics imprint. A number of children's books which either adapted TV episodes ("Wembley's Egg", "Marooned") or featured the characters in original stories were published between 1983 and 1986, by Holt, Rinehart and Winston and Muppet Press in the U.S. and CBC in Canada. Head writers Jocelyn Stevenson and Jerry Juhl themselves penned a few of the entries in the series, which included both storybooks for younger readers and chapter books for middle-elementary readers. Down at Fraggle Rock: Behind the Scenes (1987): A backstage look at the production of the show, hosted by Henson himself. Broadcast as an HBO special, it won a CableACE award in 1988. Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series (1987-88): An Animated Adaptation for NBC, animated by the Muppet Babies crew. It was later rerun on Disney Channel prior to the original series being rerun, and released on DVD in January 2010. Fraggle Rock (2010): A second comic series, this time by Archaia Entertainment. Fraggle Rock (2011) Fraggle Rock: Monsters from Outer Space (2011) Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring (2014-15) Fraggle Rock (2018) The Doozers (2014-18): An All-CGI Cartoon based on the Doozers. Fraggle Rock: Rock On (2020): The Fraggle Five (and some of the original cast) return for a series of 3-to-5-minute episodes with celebrity guest stars on Apple TV+ filmed on their iPhones while all were separated by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (2022): A reboot that premiered on Apple TV+ on the night of January 20, 2022. Once again, Karen Prell and Dave Goelz are reprising their original roles and are also co-executive-producing along with John Tartaglia (the current Gobo). Designs other than Mokey's are mostly the same as the originals. Apple TV+ also now holds exclusive streaming rights to the original series. A holiday special aired in November 2022, and a second season has been confirmed.Meanwhile, a follow-up film was stuck in development since 2005 and had lapsed in and out of Development Hell. Its most recent move forward was in spring 2015, where Joseph Gordon-Levitt signed on to produce and star in the film. It has since been canceled in favor of the two streaming reboots.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
 Fraggle Rock / int_10dcbe05
comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Red and Gobo have these moments throughout the series to balance out their bickering and competing. Pa Gorg is prone to losing patience with his son Junior, but every now and then he shows how much he really cares about him: for example, in "The Challenge," when he cries thinking Junior is dead, or in "The Garden Plot," when a flashback shows him singing "Muck and Goo" with baby Junior and kissing him.

Cool Old Guy: Apparently, the Fraggle aging process only causes an elderly Fraggle to sprout a beard Dumbledore would envy. The World's Oldest Fraggle is even louder and more energetic than the main cast, and wavers somewhere between awesome and just plain terrifying by virtue of leading the happy, friendly, peace-loving Fraggles to war. Amongst the Doozers, the Architect also was pretty rev. Doc himself seems to be a fun person to be around, like someone's lovable eccentric grandpa.

All There in the Manual
 Fraggle Rock / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Where do Fraggles come from? According to the book The Legend of the Doozer Who Didn't, Doozers who stop working turn into these! Though it turns out that's just a story Doozer parents frighten their children with, as revealed in "All Work and All Play." Cotterpin Doozer wants to become a Fraggle, but eventually has to face up to the fact that the old story isn't true and that she has to remain a Doozer. Also, according to Convincing John, Fraggles who eat too many Doozer constructions turn into human beings, although it's probable he just made that up. It is noteworthy that he refers to humans as "human beings" instead of "Silly Creatures" as the Fraggles normally do, which may explain the Fraggles' horror at this story. According to one of the "series Bibles" included with one of the season DVD sets, Fraggles are apparently egg-layers. This along with their feathers, beaks, and long tails, has led to some interesting theories. This may be inconclusive or just inconsistent; Storyteller Fraggle mentions a Fraggle hatching in "The Terrible Tunnel", but none of the Fraggles knew what an egg was in "Wembley's Egg"—yet Uncle Matt spoke of an egg in "Capture The Moon" (although he thought rainbows, not chickens, hatched from it). Of course, the Fraggles may not have recognized the egg in "Wembley's Egg" as such, as they never encountered an egg that size before. In one of the "Ask a Fraggle" 30th anniversary shorts in 2013, Red mentions she's been swimming since she was a "Fragpole," which would (if Fragpoles are anything like tadpoles) suggest that Fraggles do hatch from eggs, but not anything like the eggs chickens hatch from. On the topic of "where Fraggles come from", Terry Angus (Storyteller, Morris, Brio) had this to say in an interview with the website Muppet Central:

The Movie
 Fraggle Rock / int_1bf94a24
comment
The Movie: Announced in 2005 only to get stuck in development limbo for a very long time. Given the development time, some of the rumors, the actual revealed plot elements, and some early buzz that the studio heads were gunning for a Darker and Edgier script (seriously), some fans were very apprehensive. However that iteration of the film didn't last too long, and Weinstein gave the project the axe. In 2012, the project was transplanted to New Regency and the writers of Rango were hired to write the script. That it took almost three years for the next relevant information to come involving the Fraggle movie - that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would produce and star in it - is really saying something. In the end, it was decided during the Covid-19 pandemic to move forward with streaming series reboots instead, and Regency was still involved in the production of Back to the Rock.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Doc and Ned Shimmelfinney. Particularly evident in the last episodes.

Only Sane Man: Boober often plays this role for the Fraggles. Murray is clearly this for the Minstrels. Sprocket is occasionally this for Doc. Oddly enough, for all his childlike understanding of his world, Junior Gorg becomes this for Ma and Pa Gorg, most obvious in how he handles Wander McMooch, for example. And Sprocket is also often this for Doc.

Sick Episode

comment
Sick Episode: In "Pebble Pox Blues," Gobo comes down with pebble pox, so Boober and Wembley set out to Find the Cure! for him, but soon Wembley catches the pox too, as does Boober in the end. In "The Battle of Leaking Roof", Ma Gorg has a cold, which she caught to a draft inside the Gorgs' castle. This causes her to have a Sneeze of Doom while cooking a soufflé. In "The River of Life," water pollution causes all the Fraggles except Boober to fall ill with throat rot. In "The Challenge," Junior Gorg sneezes several times and thinks he must be coming down with a cold, which leads to Gobo tricking him into thinking he's dying of "gorgliosis". It's never confirmed if he's actually sick or not, though. Sprocket is sick (and Afraid of Doctors) in "The Beast of Blue Rock." note Original U.S./Canadian version

Verbal Tic: Wembley has a tendency to run around yelling "squeet squeet squat squat" or some variation thereof when he's happy or excited. It shows up in many of his songs, too (and in the ending theme). He also makes curious cough-like noises randomly throughout his dialogue. It's revealed in an interview that this happened when Steve Whitmire had a cold, started coughing in his Wembley voice to be funny, and was encouraged to make it part of the character since it was frankly adorable. Wembley's high pitched grunting with each step doesn't hurt the cuteness.

Lethal Chef: Ma Gorg, it seems. In one episode, she makes Junior a peach-and-garlic pie (which is just the way he likes it, apparently) but when he tries to eat it, it's like rubber, literally. Fortunately, the pie isn't wasted; later, when the Fraggles have to sneak into the Gorgs' castle, they're able to do so by using it like a trampoline. On the other hand, the Fraggles ruin her soup on purpose (unbeknownst to Ma) in "Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe" by adding greaseberries (so they can use the soup to thaw the frozen Trash Heap). Even then, Pa still loves it. Boober, whenever he's experimenting with a new recipe. He even has a song ("Dump the Stuff Out (Yucky for Sure)" in "Doomsday Soup") and a children's book (Danger! Boober Cooking) about it. Otherwise, he's not that bad.

Zeerust: King Gorg owns a blunderbuss. The Gorgs are this in general; they're the only ones who seem to be living in a weird combination of medieval times and a perpetual warfront (with a completely imaginary enemy). Partially justifiable when you consider how old the Gorgs are, and that they are essentially isolated from the rest of the world—including whatever other members of their species remain.

Character Development
 Fraggle Rock / int_3b113b7
comment
On a more personal level, all the Fraggle Five went through some Character Development over the series. It's most notable with Wembley, who at the beginning of the series has no opinions of his own and just agrees with whoever spoke last, but as the series progressed, he learns to think a little more for himself and even stand up for himself when a situation requires it—to the point where Junior Gorg actually mistakes him for the leader of the Fraggles in the penultimate episode—but without losing his flexibility and gist for seeing everyone's point of view.

Manipulative Bastard: Sort of. "Convincing John can convince anyone to do anything." So he's got the manipulative part down. He isn't shown to be evil, per se, although he does convince them to do really silly things for no apparent reason, such as convincing Red that wearing a blindfold all the time is the only way to live. The first episode featuring John has Red calling him "the type of Fraggle nobody goes to see," but the Fraggles, being Fraggles, occasionally invite him to come anyway when there's something they want him to convince them to do, like wearing clown noses.

Pie in the Face
 Fraggle Rock / int_41435fc2
comment
Pie in the Face: It actually prevents a war between the Rock and Cave Fraggles in "Fraggle Wars", as Red's and Beige's pieing the oldest living Fraggles in their respective tribes simultaneously gets both tribes laughing at the same thing at the same time. Also in the North American version of "Fraggle Wars," Doc is the victim of two pieings courtesy of Shimmelfinney, and is bent on revenge until Sprocket "talks" him out of it. He also gets creamed by an automatic pie maker in "The Riddle of Rhyming Rock." It's never shown on screen, but part of the rituals in the Hall of Justice is the ceremonial pie throw.

The Outside World: The show has two examples. Outer Space is what Fraggles call the human world, and was considered a myth until Travelling Matt discovered a portal in Doc's wall and left to explore it. On the other side of the rock is the Gorgs' world, into which some Fraggles venture to gather radishes and consult Madame Trash Heap. Unlike Outer Space, it is considerably more dangerous, as the Gorgs consider the Fraggles pests and are actively trying to capture them.

The Song Remains the Same: Averted.

Potential dub voice actors were auditioned based on singing as well as acting talent.

Humans Are the Real Monsters: Highly averted, though Uncle Matt immediately identifies us as "The Silly Creatures". (This isn't really an insult, though, as Fraggles like silliness.) Later on, Doc agrees that it's a good name for humans. In fact, some of the Silly Creatures are very friendly towards Uncle Matt, especially the little girl from "Let the Water Run" who shares her umbrella with Matt while it is raining, and a bunch of street punks who dress him up in punk clothes, in which Matt refers to them as the closest things a Silly Creature can be compared to a Fraggle!

You Are Too Late: In the finale, when it looks like Doc is moving, Gobo races to tell him that he cannot leave the magic — and gets there too late, finding only a cold, dark, empty, utterly mundane room stripped of all the life and joy Doc and Sprocket had infused it with throughout the entire series. Luckily, the message wasn't an order. It's a statement of fact. Reality Subtext: The show's message to fans was that the Fraggles would always be there if the fans wanted them to be there, even after the series ended.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Fraggle Rock / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: "The Thirty-Minute Work Week", although the fifth episode, was the first to be filmed and features an early, somewhat different version of Sprocket, who was redesigned before more episodes were shot. Ma Gorg was also drastically redesigned after the first dozen or so episodes, and Gobo's wardrobe changed (from a red jacket to his trademark vest and scarf) and hair got shorter, although their early designs retained a presence for the entire series' run, as they were still featured in the opening and ending. Some of the earlier episodes are a bit weird in general, particular in regard to the characterization of the five leads. For example, in "You Can't Do That Without a Hat", Mokey bangs Doozers on the head with a stick to make music... and just a few episodes later she's suddenly a Soapbox Sadie campaigning for Doozer rights. Similarly, Wembley has little personality in the earlier episodes, with his agreeability and indecisiveness being his only real traits. Later seasons would flesh him out a bit more. Baby Fraggles could occasionally be seen in the background in early episodes; this concept was dropped, as the creators didn't want to get into the issue of Fraggle reproduction. Like Gobo and Ma Gorg's designs, some baby Fraggles could still be seen in the opening.

Fantastic Racism: A major underpinning of the initial interspecies relations in the show.

Big Eater: Large Marvin Fraggle. In "The Preachification of Convincing John," after Mokey releases the Fraggles from their oath not to eat Doozer sticks anymore, everyone pigs out on Doozer sticks, to the point where they all end up stuffed to the gills with tummy aches. Via voiceover, Mokey says she learned it's possible to eat too many Doozer sticks.

Friendship-Straining Competition: Wembley thinks this'll be the case when he competes with Gobo in an athletic challenge and beats him in a race. He even dreams that Gobo leaves the Rock out of shame. So, he intentionally throws the next race only to find the inverse is true. When Gobo finds out Wembley threw the race, he demands that he try his best or he'll end their friendship.

Self-Soothing Song
 Fraggle Rock / int_64e39841
comment
Self-Soothing Song: In "The Day The Music Died", Gobo is the last Fraggle awake, as the Ditzies, who give light to the subterranean areas where Fraggles live, are dying off. Gobo had been tasked with writing the Glory Song for a celebration but had been struggling with finding words or a melody. Now in the dark, he begins to sing to comfort himself, feeling himself, without the Ditzies' light, starting to slip away into a Forced Sleep with the rest of the Fraggles. Just as he begins to tentatively sing "Shine On, Shine On Me", beautiful sparks of light—the Ditzies—start to appear. He realizes that the Ditzies come from music, and he renews his efforts with more vigor. The other Fraggles start to wake up, joining in the song, until all of Fraggle Rock is restored. The other Fraggles hail Gobo as a hero, and the Storyteller exclaims that Gobo's just written the Glory Song.

Author Avatar: Cantus, who is a great character to be sure, but Jim Henson wasn't even subtle about it. Overlaps with Ink-Suit Actor, as Cantus was designed to vaguely resemble Henson.◊ In one of the DVD extras, some of Jim's friends even mentioning naming a special place "Cantus Cove" in his memory. Some fans even rank Cantus above even Kermit the Frog as Henson's most memorable character ever.

 Fraggle Rock / int_6b11ff57

Some of the earlier episodes are a bit weird in general, particular in regard to the characterization of the five leads. For example, in "You Can't Do That Without a Hat", Mokey bangs Doozers on the head with a stick to make music... and just a few episodes later she's suddenly a Soapbox Sadie campaigning for Doozer rights. Similarly, Wembley has little personality in the earlier episodes, with his agreeability and indecisiveness being his only real traits. Later seasons would flesh him out a bit more.

Species Surname: All the Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs. From the way the Gorgs talk, Gorg may be their last name rather than the name of their species. Anyone who has lived in the Southern states in the U.S. will recognize their constant references to Gorg history and Gorg tradition as similar to the way a family might refer to (for example) McCoy history and McCoy tradition.

Meaningful Name: Cantus is the Latin word for "song". Sidebottom is the fun side of Boober that he keeps on the bottom. Like Convincing John, Sidebottom isn't evil, just fun-loving, overactive, and irresponsible. Wembley's name in Spanish, Dudo, means "I doubt" in that language, which fits with his indecisive personality. Also in Spanish, Mokey is renamed Musi, which seems to imply both "music" and "muse."

Unexplained Accent
 Fraggle Rock / int_6d0b942
comment
Unexplained Accent: Gobo has a Canadian accent complete with "eh" at the end of many of his sentences, and pronounces words such as "again" the Canadian way (he does not, however, say "aboot"). His Muppeteer, Jerry Nelson, was American; the accent is a reference to the show's Canadian home, as it was shot in Toronto. Nelson also used Canadian pronunciations for Pa Gorg and the Trash Heap on occasion, as did Dave Goelz with Uncle Matt, though none of those characters sported actual Canadian accents. Unfortunately, this was flanderized all to hell in the animated series, which had a different stable of voice actors and no Canadian ties.

Theme Tune Extended: A longer version of the theme song was released on the first Fraggle Rock LP record in 1983. In March 1984, a remix of the longer version, credited to "The Fraggles" as the performing artist, hit #33 on the UK pop singles chart, with "Workin'" as its B-side. The extended version bears a different arrangement, with no Theme Tune Roll Call, a sung stanza by Junior Gorg, and some additional scat-singing from Gobo and Wembley.

Christmas Episode: Fraggles don't celebrate Christmas (although Doc and Sprocket do in the same episode); instead, they enjoy The Festival of the Bells. This didn't stop them from enjoying A Muppet Family Christmas with The Muppet Show and Sesame Street characters. They still didn't know what Christmas was (even after a brief explanation by Kermit and Robin), but they did like the songs. "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" was packaged along with "Perfect Blue Rollie" in VHS releases, in keeping with the gift-giving theme of the latter.

This Is No Time to Panic: "The Great Radish Famine." When there's no radishes, Fraggles, Gorgs and Doozers all say this — then panic and accuse the others of stealing them. When the Fraggles learn there's a Poison Cackler's nest with an egg in it in "The Trial of Cotterpin Doozer", the Fraggles panic. Gobo tries to calm them down with a plan, but Red interrupts, "We've got a panic on our hands!"

Cultural Translation: Keeping with the show's vision, it was designed to be an international production from the start. The Muppet scenes were all self-contained and could be dubbed over, while different "Doc" and Traveling Matt segments could be shot in each region, making the viewer feel like this was all happening near them. In addition to the North American original, there was Germany, the UK—where Doc was a lighthouse keeper named The Captain—and France—where he was a baker and his dog was named Croquette. The UK version was the only one apart from the US/Canada original which made it to the Grand Finale, with BJ, the show's third lighthouse keeper, having the same encounters with Gobo as Doc.

Vague Age
 Fraggle Rock / int_7f080f98

Vague Age: All the main Fraggles. Also applies to how the characters age. For example, in "Uncle Matt Comes Home," Gobo remarks that he was "just a kid" at the start of the series when his uncle left, although he doesn't look appreciably older despite his character design change midway through Season One. Of course he could be referring to emotional rather than physical growth, but this remark still makes it unclear not only how old the main characters are, but how much time passes over the course of the series. Cotterpin Doozer also grows from a baby (albeit one able to speak in complete sentences) in Season One to a kid in Season Two, but this doesn't explain whether several years have elapsed between her first two appearances, or whether Doozers just grow up quickly.

Entertainingly Wrong: Regarding objects and customs of Outer Space, Traveling Matt is the king of this trope. The other Fraggles as well, as evidenced by how they react to radio commercials in "Manny's Land of Carpets".

Stalker with a Crush: Begoony, a one-off character who was excessively lonely, acted much like this for Mokey. She took pity on his loneliness and befriended him, to which he responded by trying to isolate her from her other friends, and even going so far as to imprison her so she would stay with him always.

Zombie Advocate: Mokey becomes one in an episode, where she feels sorry for the Doozers having their buildings eaten, and convinces the other Fraggles to stop. Turns out the Doozers like having their hard work destroyed; they love to build things, but they don't care for the completed projects, and if they're torn down, they have more room to keep building.note The Doozers use radishes as building material, something that isn't obvious since their girders are translucent. Fraggles love eating them because radishes are their Trademark Favorite Food, but don't know the constructs are made of them. Wembley becomes one in "A Tune For Two," speaking out for Cotterpin's right to participate in the Duet-a-thon when she's barred from it on account of being a Doozer.

Singing Voice Dissonance: In "Gone But Not Forgotten," Mudwell the Mudbunny loses his deep, bouncy tone and Southern accent when he sings "Just A Dream Away," singing more-or-less in Richard Hunt's natural voice.

A Day in the Limelight
 Fraggle Rock / int_9c8701b5
comment
A Day in the Limelight: "Doozer Is As Doozer Does" centers around Wrench Doozer, with the main Fraggles (sans Boober) only appearing in one short scene. "The Trial of Cotterpin Doozer" sends the entire main cast away, leaving recurring characters Cotterpin Doozer, Large Marvin Fraggle, and Feenie Fraggle to carry an episode by themselves. "The Battle of Leaking Roof" focuses primarily on the Gorgs, leaving only Mokey and Boober with a tiny subplot. "Gunge, the Great and Glorious" centers around Philo, Gunge and the Doozers, with only minor appearances by Red and Wembley at the beginning. Cotterpin, Sprocket, Uncle Matt, and even Junior Gorg also get their own stories in some of the spinoff children's books published during the original series' run. Michael Frith envisioned the series itself as being this for Jerry Nelson, who, although having performed memorable characters like Floyd Pepper, Count von Count, and the title character in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas , had never had a series built around one of his characters.

 Fraggle Rock / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: The Animated Adaptation basically pretended the earlier series never happened. Naturally, most fans pretend the animated series never happened. As this Tough Pigs review shows, it isn't terrible, but most fans agree it isn't nearly as good as the classic series (in short, a similar case to Muppet Babies vs. The Muppet Show. Though many Muppet fans give Babies points for at least trying to be creative, one can tell Henson was far less involved in the Rock cartoon. Truth be told, he wasn't closely involved with the original series either, but he had appointed a group of professionals who had worked closely with him for years and could (and did) competently bring his vision to life but (with the exception of Dave Goelz, who performed Traveling Matt during live-action interstitials, and Kathryn (Mokey/Cotterpin) Mullen, who co-wrote one episode) did not work on the animated version. The fact all of the songs were blatantly recycled from the original show (and used in much simpler, more juvenile contexts) didn't help. The Fraggles' appearance in A Muppet Family Christmas presents a complicated possible example. It was made (and broadcast) after the original series had ended (but while the animated version was still airing), yet in that special, Doc still doesn't know what Fraggles are, despite the original series ending with him meeting Gobo. On the other hand, the fact that Emily Bear's house, where Doc and Sprocket are spending Christmas, just happens to have a Fraggle hole jibes with the final episode's concept of "You cannot leave the magic."

Authority in Name Only: Ma and Pa Gorg claim they are the King and Queen of the Universe. (Junior never says anything like this, although his parents do claim he's their heir.) In reality, they seem to be nothing more than a family of simple farmers with a rustic house and garden patch; they just happen to wear crowns. Considering some of their possessions, it's likely they are the last survivors of what might have been a mighty kingdom long, long ago.

Dramatic Irony: Mokey's death in "Mokey's Funeral". The audience knows she's okay and that Junior "killed" a decoy, but Junior, Gobo and Red don't know that.

Weirdness Censor: Marjory states that Fraggles are Invisible to Normals because most Silly Creatures are too silly to be able to see them. She later notes that humans have lost the ability to see the magic, and that a human making friends with a Fraggle is wonderful.

Trademark Favorite Food: Radishes for both Fraggles and Gorgs. Fraggles have more ways to cook radishes than anyone would guess existed—soups, pies, milkshakes, candy bars, you name it. Doozer sticks—the Fraggles' favorite snack—are made from radishes as well.

Deadpan Snarker: Boober. Though he claims to have No Sense of Humor, he gets easily the funniest lines in the show. Red likes to snark as well, her favorite target being Traveling Matt. Gobo has perhaps the most cynical outlook (at least early on) and the snark is glorious. And Cotterpin Doozer, being both a young Doozer and being very tiny, is a straight-up Little Miss Snarker.

Pinky Swear: Fraggles have an vow called "The Solemn Fraggle Oath" that affirms an unbreakable promise (and they really do keep to it, one of the few things they take very seriously—only the Fraggle who called for the oath can release others from it). Being Fraggles, the actual "solemn" oath is kind of silly: They hop around in a circle, saying "Weeba weeba, waffa waffa, garpox gumbage, whoopee!"

I Ate WHAT?!: In "The Doomsday Soup", Gobo and Wembley accidentally taste Boober's laundry water, thinking it's his radish gumbo. When they taste the actual gumbo, it tastes no better, and Boober tells them he had to use rutabagas, dried greaseberries and, much to Wembley's disgust, skunk cabbage to make the soup as he was unable to get any radishes because of the Gorgs.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Or rather, acceptable breaks from fantasy. The main non-human species of Fraggle Rock all speak English (or whatever language the given adaptation is written in). Not only that, but they will sometimes make reference to certain animals, technological devices, etc. that they have little plausible reason to be familiar with, but which the audience would readily understand. This seems to be especially frequent in song lyrics. Then there's the lighting; See Hollywood Darkness, below.

Ink-Suit Actor: Sort of. Steve Whitmire looked like a human version of Wembley, complete with long, floppy blond hair. Gobo likes to wear hats, including fedoras. So did Jerry Nelson. Phil Fraggle is based on Phil Balsam, co-writer of most of the songs. He was also voiced by Balsam (albeit puppeteered by Whitmire). The temperamental, eccentric Gillis Fraggle was based on the show's music director, the temperamental, eccentric Don Gillis.

Couch Gag: Five different endings were filmed for the last spoken line of the theme song "Down at Fraggle Rock...", one for each of the five main Fraggles. However, only three were broadcast. This includes, obviously, the most familiar one where Boober indifferently says it, as well as one where Gobo says it while hitting a ball with a stick (seen only in "The Finger of Light"), and one where Wembley whispers the line to the viewer (seen only in "The Terrible Tunnel"). For the finale's ending theme, Doc says it, followed by a bark from Sprocket.

Novelization: Most of the children's books based on the show are original stories (a few of which were written by Jerry Juhl and Jocelyn Stevenson, the show's chief writers), but there were a handful—namely Wembley's Egg and Marooned in Fraggle Rock (based on the episode "Marooned")—that adapted television episodes. Both of those books were written by the same scenarists as their TV counterparts. Most of the installments in the 1985-86 Marvel comics series were also based on TV episodes.

Shout-Out: To other Muppet productions. Also see Company Cross References. A couple of meta examples: there's a real life Fraggle Rock in New Mexico, near the town of Lordsburg (a giant rock with the words "FRAGGLE ROCK" painted on it in white). And in Bedford, Nova Scotia (a Halifax suburb) lies Fraggle Rock Road, perhaps a testimony to the show's popularity in the country where it was made.

comment
Theme Tune Roll Call: Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, and Red shout out their names in succession during the theme song, though so rapidly that viewers are quite unlikely to learn their names that way. And if you think it's hard in the show's native tongue, it's even more difficult in some of the foreign dubs—for example, Japanese, where Wembley's and Red's performers have to squeeze in additional syllables to say their names in Engrish. (Perhaps that's why the Latino Spanish version ditches the roll call and adds new lyrics there instead.)

Ma Gorg, it seems. In one episode, she makes Junior a peach-and-garlic pie (which is just the way he likes it, apparently) but when he tries to eat it, it's like rubber, literally. Fortunately, the pie isn't wasted; later, when the Fraggles have to sneak into the Gorgs' castle, they're able to do so by using it like a trampoline. On the other hand, the Fraggles ruin her soup on purpose (unbeknownst to Ma) in "Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe" by adding greaseberries (so they can use the soup to thaw the frozen Trash Heap). Even then, Pa still loves it.

comment
Company Cross References: In "The Cavern of Lost Dreams", Sprocket tries his paw at making his own dog cereal and, at one point, does a remarkably good imitation of the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show. Traveling Matt encounters a few more in "Outer Space," including a kid dressed as Kermit the Frog for Halloween and a drive-in theater showing The Dark Crystal. And there's also an episode called "The Great Radish Caper". Perhaps unintentional, but Sprocket is shown to take baths with a rubber duckie in "Let the Water Run." It's in Doc's name, too—his real name is Jeromenote Which is also head writer/creative producer Jerry Juhl's birth name, but his last name is Crystal, making him "Doc Crystal." (Say it out loud if that doesn't make sense.)

Awkward Poetry Reading: Toward the beginning of the episode "Boober Rock", Mokey tries to read Boober her latest poem, but he's too preoccupied with the noise of Fraggle Rock to want to listen. Later, after he's visited Gobo and heard from him about the "dull and quiet" Caves of Boredom, Mokey finds him and tries again to read him her poem.

Dub Name Change
 Fraggle Rock / int_e2c4b927

Dub Name Change: In the Spanish dubs,note There are two, one for Spain and one for Latin America Gobo was the only one of the five main Fraggles to retain his name, with Wembley, Mokey, Red and Boober becoming Dudo, Musi, Rosi and Bombo respectively. Also, the Doozers are known as either Carris (Spain) or Inges (Latin America), and the Gorgs are called Goris in both dubs. The Japanese dub retained the names of most of the characters including the main Fraggle Five, but changed a few of the supporting character names, including Sprocket to Mac and Philo and Gunge to Kuzu and Bororo.

Technician Versus Performer: Gobo and Matt, respectively, in "Uncle Matt Comes Home". On an expedition to the Crystal Caverns, Gobo keeps trying to show Matt the exploring and mapmaking skills he developed in Matt's absence, but Matt—having explored Outer Space without anything but his wits (such as they are)—relies solely on instinct and experience (which Gobo certainly doesn't have because he is still just a child). Their frustrations with each other become a contest over who can find the Crystal Caverns first. It's ultimately subverted and deconstructed. Both methods seem to work equally well, but they were so busy butting heads that they didn't notice Wembley discovering the Caverns first.

Smoking Is Not Cool: Just ask Traveling Matt, who, upon encountering the "mouth burners" in "The Challenge," threw a pitcher of water on a man smoking a cigar to keep the "fire in the man's mouth" from getting "out of control." In the German version of "Catch the Tail by the Tiger," he actually tries smoking a pipe, but visibly doesn't like it.

Neologism: "Wemble", a verb meaning "to be pathologically indecisive". A "wembler" is a person who wembles, and "wembley" is an adjective describing a person who wembles (and it's also an acceptable name to give a child in Fraggle Rock — though according to Wembley, the people who named him apparently thought it meant "makes his mind up easily.") According to the ancient Fraggle language, "Wembley" meant "No scratch nose in public." When Wembley stops being indecisive, he demands he be called "Wilfred", which some have speculated might be his real name. "Rev" is Doozer for "cool".

Impossibly Delicious Food: The Grapes of Generosity, which appear when a Fraggle needs to learn how to be generous. They are so delicious that a Fraggle will want to eat them all himself, but if he eats them alone, he will become more and more selfish... and eventually weightless, so that everyone can see how selfish he is. By contrast, if he eats the grapes with others, he becomes extremely generous. Mossmelon, the rarest and sweetest fruit in the Rock, can only be harvested every hundred years. The legendary Tooth Tower was built by the Doozers, who had to withdraw the building material because it was so sweet that it drove Fraggles wild.

Comically Missing the Point
 Fraggle Rock / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Doc manages this frequently. In one episode, he's trying to figure out how he and Sprocket can communicate: Most of the Fraggles manage it on a regular basis as well. The show's absolute king of the trope is Traveling Matt, who manages to misunderstand almost everything, and in extremely creative ways at that. Traveling Matt is the undisputed master of this trope; his performer Dave Goelz even described his frequent misconceptions as the first of his three defining character flaws.note The second being his clumsiness, and the third his utter denial of the first two flaws. For instance, Traveling Matt is perplexed why it's called "fast food" when it doesn't really go anywhere. Each of the Fraggle Five on occasion, Wembley more than others due to his age and naivete.

comment
Special Edition Title: In the UK version, the titles for "Born to Wander" shows Sprocket alone in the lighthouse during the zoom into the Fraggle hole, because the Captain is gone and P.K. hasn't moved in yet.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Fraggle Rock / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Mokey Fraggle, especially in episodes like "A Cave of One's Own" and "Red-Handed and the Invisible Thief". Wembley can do some damage when he's angry, as Sprocket can attest in "A Friend in Need."

Burying a Substitute
 Fraggle Rock / int_fcd9f998
comment
Burying a Substitute: Gobo was once thought to have been eaten by Sprocket and all his friends found was his hat. Boober suggests burying the hat as a way of remembering him just before Gobo reappears and reveals he's not dead.

Innocently Insensitive
 Fraggle Rock / int_ff17ccf1
comment
Innocently Insensitive: Red, particularly early on, has a habit of emphasizing failures and flaws that others are struggling with, while not noticing just how much it hurts who she's speaking to. One example early is when she piled on Boober for failing to alert Gobo (due to fear-induced inability to whistle) to Sprocket's approach when Gobo was trying to get Matt's postcard. "Gone But Not Forgotten": After Mudwell forces Wembley to leave, Boober offers to cook Wembley his favorite dish - Peach and Pepper Potage—to cheer him up, not knowing that Mudwell made that dish for Wembley (and it was much better than Boober's). Boober is at a loss to figure out why this makes Wembley cry harder.
