Fraggle Rock
After Jim Henson had created the Muppets and the
Muppets Show, he created another children's show that had
us all glued to the TV set - Fraggle Rock.
There were 5 series made, consisting of a total of 96
episodes.
Story
Fraggles live in an underground cave, where they have fun
and sing all day.
Gobo is a Fraggle with many friends and he has an Uncle
that likes exploring - Uncle Travelling Matt. Most of the
other Fraggles think he is a little mad, but he enjoys
exploring.
One day he discovers something from Fraggle
mythology - Outer Space, which is really a hole in a
wall into on old lighthouse, where an old man and
his dog, Sprocket, live.
Uncle Matt tells Gobo about Outer Space and
announces that he is off to explore it. But he gets
Gobo to promise to pick up his postcards each week,
from the mouth of Outer Space (the lighthouse room).
Gobo isn't too happy about this as there is a beast
(Sprockett) in Outer Space, so he has his friends help
him.
So check out the stars of the show below :
Gobo
Gobo is the leader of the group of friends and they all seem to listen to
him. They just couldn't believe Outer Space was real, so Gobo
persuaded them to come with him and help him get Uncle Matt's
Postcards. He likes seeing the Trash Heap for Advice.
Red
Red is the daredevil of the group and the most energetic, she never
seems to stop for a rest.
Wembley
Wembley is a Fraggle that just cant make his mind up. He loves very
bright shirts and cannot always say what he wants when he's excited -
sometimes they have to turn him upside down, before he slows down
and tells the other Fraggles what's bothering him.
Mokey
She is the calming more spiritual Fraggle out of the group and always
speaks softly.
Boober
He's one of the most neurotic Fraggle you'll ever meet. He's scared of
every thing. You know when he's scared, because he shakes in fear.
Oh, and you never see his eyes - he's got his hair over them and mostly
wears a hat of some kind.
Uncle Travelling Matt
Uncle Travelling Matt just loves exploring, he even found Outer Space
(which is anything outside of Fraggle Rock). He sends Postcards back
to Gobo about the strange humans each week.
Junior
Junior is the youngest Gorg. He hates Fraggles and is always trying to
catch them when they come through his garden. He is son of the King
and Queen Gorg's (self proclaimed) and lives is a small castle tower
with his parents.
The Trash Heap
If a Fraggle is in Trouble, then they go and see the all knowing, all
seeing, Trash Heap for advice. The Trash Heap has two little helpers
that introduce her each time. Most of the advice is given in the form of a
song to the Fraggle in need. The only problem is that the Fraggles have
to go through the Gorg's garden to get to her.
Sprocket
Sprocket is the dog that lives in the lighthouse. He's not a bad dog, but
he's not too keen on Fraggles and chases them around the room when
he sees them. He guards the hole in the wall, waiting for the Fraggles,
but has been known to get stuck in the hole!
The Doozers
The Doozers are small construction muppets that just build and build
and build. Towers, bridges, you name it, they build it. The Fraggles
don't mind them, as everything they build is edible - Yum Yum!
