Fraggle Rock was a children's television series with a total of 5 seasons and 96 episodes running from January 10, 1983 to March 30, 1987. The series was created by Jim Henson, primarily featuring a cast of Muppet creatures called Fraggles, with music by Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee.

The vision of Fraggle Rock articulated by Jim Henson was to depict a colorful and fun world, but also a world with a relatively complex system of symbiotic relationships between different "races" of creatures, an allegory to the human world, where each group was somewhat unaware of how interconnected and important they were to one another. Creating this allegorical world allowed the program to entertain and amuse while seriously exploring complex issues of prejudice, spirituality, personal identity, environment, and social conflict. Fraggle Rock generally refused to over-simplify any individual issue, instead simply illustrating the consequences and inherent difficulties of different actions and relationships. Though the Fraggles do learn important lessons, they rarely are aware that they are learning them. The ideals of friendship, being true to yourself, and learning to love those who are incredibly different, were the cornerstone of Jim Henson's work throughout his 40 year career, and he considered Fraggle Rock to be one of the purest and most successful expressions of that vision.

The show was a worldwide hit, just like Sesame Street and The Muppets franchise. The Theme song from Fraggle Rock was a top 40 pop hit in Britain during the phenomenon.

The inhabitants of Fraggle Rock

Fraggles

Cover for 12th Fraggle Rock video

Fraggles are tiny humanoid creatures, about 22 inches tall, that come in a wide variety of colors and have tails that bear a tuft of fur on the end. They live in a system of caves called Fraggle Rock that are filled with all manner of creatures and features, and which seem to connect to at least two different worlds. Fraggles live a very carefree life, spending most of their time playing, exploring, and generally enjoying themselves. They live on a diet of radishes and "doozer sticks" (see below). Fraggles have the ability to "share dreams"; if they touch their heads together and sing a special song before falling asleep, one can enter the dream of the other Fraggle. More than one Fraggle at a time can enter a single Fraggle's dream, provided all the participants' heads are touching.

The series focused on one group of Fraggles in particular; Gobo (Jerry Nelson), Mokey (Kathryn Mullen), Red (Karen Prell), Wembley (Steve Whitmire), and Boober (Dave Goelz). They form a tight-knit group of friends, and each has a distinctive personality type. Gobo is the "leader", level-headed and practical, and considers himself chiefly an explorer. Mokey is highly spiritual and artistic, being quiet and contemplative. Red, on the other hand, is exuberant and athletic; she is one of the best swimmers among the Fraggles. Wembley is nervous and pathologically indecisive (this is mostly because he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings; saying 'yes' to someone means saying 'no' to someone else), though no coward when push comes to shove. Boober's cardinal trait is depression and worry, and his favourite activity is washing socks – Fraggles, however, do not seem to use footwear most of the time.

Doozers

Within Fraggle Rock lives a second species of small humanoid creatures, the pudgy green ant-like Doozers. Standing only 6 inches tall, Doozers are in a sense anti-Fraggles; their lives are dedicated to work and industry. Doozers spend much of their time busily constructing all manner of pointless scaffolding throughout Fraggle Rock, using miniature construction equipment and wearing hardhats and work boots. To ensure that they always have a steady stream of work to do, Doozers build their constructions out of an edible candy-like substance (manufactured from radishes) which is greatly enjoyed by Fraggles. They actually want the Fraggles to eat their constructions because "architecture's supposed to be enjoyed" and also so they can go on to build again. This is essentially the only interaction between Doozers and Fraggles; Doozers spend most of their time building, and Fraggles spend much of their time eating tasty Doozer buildings. They thus form an odd sort of symbiosis. The symbiosis was part of an episode where Mokey called upon the Fraggles not to eat the Doozers' constructions - because they spend so much time making them. Fraggle Rock was quickly filled with constructions and the Doozers had no space left to build. After running out of space the Doozers finally decided that it was time to move on to a new area because the Fraggles would not eat their construction, and there was even a tragic scene with a mother explaining to her daughter about how things don't always work out but that they would find a new place to live where their construction would get eaten. They finally convinced Mokey that they didn't mind that the constructions were eaten, because this enabled the Doozers to build ad infinitum.

The series had several episodes that featured a Doozer as a main character, a young female named Cotterpin.

At one point, there was a series of Fraggle Rock books, one entitled "The Legend of the Doozer Who Didn't." This book details the story of a Doozer who went against Doozer tradition when he stopped working and going to school. According to this book, a Doozer who doesn't Do in fact becomes a Fraggle.

The Silly Creatures of Outer Space

Gobo's uncle Matt, known as Traveling Matt, has gone into "Outer Space" (which is what the Fraggles call the normal human world) to explore, and he sends postcards back to Gobo regularly. In the North American version the connection between Fraggle Rock and Outer Space is a small hole in the wall of the workshop of an eccentric inventor called "Doc", and Gobo must go out into Doc's workshop to retrieve the postcards from the wastebasket where Doc throws them. Doc is unaware of the Fraggles' existence, but his dog Sprocket has seen them and goes to great efforts to attempt to prove them to his master. Humans are known to Fraggles by the name "Silly Creatures", bestowed by Matt after observing and interacting with them in his travels.

Doc's true name was revealed in the last episode to be Jerome Christian (or Crystal, according to the official Encyclopedia Fragglia). In the second-to-last episode, he finally learns that the Fraggles exist and befriends them. Matt also returns home to Fraggle Rock.

The name "Traveling Matt" is also a joke, as the special-effects technique for combining objects (such as spaceships and starry background) was known as a travelling matte.

Gorgs

File:TV fraggle rock gorgs.jpg

The Gorgs, from left to right: The King and Queen of the Universe and Junior. On the table in the center are several Fraggles.

Outside another exit from Fraggle Rock live a small family of Gorgs, giant furry humanoids standing 22 feet tall. The husband and wife of the family consider themselves the King and Queen of the Universe, with their son Junior as its prince and heir, but to all appearances they are really simple farmers with a rustic house and garden patch. The second episode of the first season reveals that the Gorgs have never actually met anyone besides themselves ("I've never met a subject before!"), suggesting that King and Queen of the Universe are self-imposed titles. Fraggles are considered a pest by the Gorgs, as they steal radishes. In one episode it is revealed that the Gorgs use radishes to make "anti-vanishing cream" that prevents them from becoming invisible. Thus, the three main races of the Fraggle Rock universe - Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs - are all dependent on the radishes for their own particular reason. While the King and Queen consider the Fraggles disgusting vermin, Junior enjoys chasing, catching and imprisoning them, much like a boy would lizards and bugs ("Look, Maw! I caught a Fwaggle!")

The Trash Heap

Marjory, The Trash Heap

Also in the Gorgs' world is a sentient compost heap called Marjory, and her two rat-like sidekicks Philo and Gunge. Only Philo and Gunge called her Marjory; the Fraggles called her Madame Trash Heap. The Fraggles consider the Trash Heap to be all-wise and go to her for advice regularly. She wasn't much of a principal character on the show but did appear in nearly every episode. Madame Trash Heap was played by Jerry Nelson. Although the Fraggles refer to her as a "trash heap", Marjory is most definitely a compost pile, and it seems that the fact she is comprised of immortal matter in the cycle of life (i.e. she has been around more than once) is the philosophy behind her great wisdom. When she is first introduced, Philo and Gunge state: "The Trash Heap knows all!" and "The Trash Heap tells all!", to which Marjory replies, "Let's face it boys; the Trash Heap is all. I'm orange peels, I'm coffee grounds - I am wisdom." She also does appear to have magical abilities; in The Great Radish Famine, she teleported all the radishes from the Gorgs' garden to her and in The Beast Of Blue Rock she teleported Gobo and Wembley back to Fraggle Rock. She's also spoken to Fraggles psychically, either while awake (in The Beast Of Blue Rock) or in their dreams (The New Trash Heap In Town).

Philo & Gunge

The heralds of the Trash Heap, they often introduced her as the "all-knowing, all-seeing Trash Heap!" Their main job was to provide humor, bad jokes, and puns. Although Gunge professed to be the brains of the pair, neither ever really prove to be a great help. They watched over the Trash Heap; if they left for a long time she would begin to die out. When she was finished speaking, they would announce, "The Trash Heap has spoken! Nyeah!" Philo and Gunge did get two episodes of the series devoted to them: "Home Is Where The Trash Is" and "Gunge The Great & Glorious". After Fraggle Rock ended, Philo went into retirement, but Gunge appeared on Dinosaurs and Mopatop's Shop. Philo was played by Dave Goelz and Gunge was played by Richard Hunt.

Other creatures

• The Beast of Bluerock lives in a mysterious lair that is only visible for 2 days after the Doozer equinox never to be seen for another year, later proven to be the fear in the Fraggles' hearts, a test by the Trash Heap.
• The Blob is a giant rolling blob that has a generally amorphous shape but has some kind of mouth somewhere. In one episode, the Blob comes in and continues to eat Doozer after Doozer. The Fraggles finally find a way to get the Blob to regurgitate all the Doozers by telling jokes and getting the thing to laugh very intensely.
• Cantus (voiced by Jim Henson) and the Minstrels continually travel to different parts of the cave, and stop several times at Fraggle Rock. They encourage the Fraggles to find their own songs, which culminate in "Our melody/come and sing it with me/It's a song where you know you'll belong.../'Cause you know we belong to the song."
• Convincing John (Jim Henson) is a Fraggle who uses his fast talking musical numbers to convince Fraggles to do anything, from getting Red to wear a blindfold to getting all Fraggles to stop eating Doozer constructions.
• The Invisible Garboyle is of unknown size and shape due to its invisibility; what is known of it is that it is a fearsome demon of Fraggle lore living in the Great Outer Maze, Gobo accidentally releases it but tricks it back in its rocky tomb.
• The Last of the Lilly Creatures is a Sea Monster that Red discovered in the episode Red's Sea Monster. The Sea Monster is a purple Monster and performed by Bob Stutt.
• The Plants of the Cave Of Boredom/Forgetfulness are carnivorous plants that release a gas (or a form of pollen) that causes anyone who breathes it in to forget absolutely everything. Eventually, the victim reaches the point where they forget how to stand up and the plants move in and eat them.
• The Poisonous Cackler is a large, fearsome, scorpion-like creature who enjoys eating smoke bombs.
• The Spider Fly (Richard Hunt) is a flying insect capable of turning into an avuncular Fraggle-like being and granting wishes.
• The Terrible Tunnel may or may not be considered a creature (it's unknown whether it is actually alive or not), but it is terrible. It is a long, cobweb encrusted tunnel that leads to a large head-shaped boulder. If the boulder is touched, it snaps open like a set of jaws and pulls any unfortunate creature into it with a powerful vacuum. Wembley, Gobo and Red just barely escaped from it. So far, they're the only ones who have.
• Toe Ticklers are fuzzy caterpillar-like creatures that are despised by the Gorgs since they eat flowers. However they eventually pupate and turn into flying jelly-fish like creatures which the Gorgs admire as beautiful creatures of the skies (much in the same way that humans look upon caterpillars and butterflies).
• Wander McMooch is a terrible warty creature who lives in some form of swamp or bog. He first appears in "Junior Sells the Farm" where he tries to swindle the Gorgs out of their homestead. He seems to have some prior experience with Fraggles because he hates them. He is revealed to be an old nemesis of Marjory the trash heap and enslaves Philo and Gunge when they leave home for greener pastures in "Home is Where the Trash is". When the Fraggles discover this predicament (Marjory is sure they are in trouble but unclear in what way), it is up to them to track down McMoot and assail him with a barrage of mushy sentiments and hugs and kisses (which he despises) to get him to free Philo and Gunge.

The television show

The first episode aired on January 10, 1983, and the last episode aired on March 30, 1987 for a total of five seasons, with a total of 96 episodes. The show was filmed on a Toronto soundstage and was a co-production between British television company Television South (TVS), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, U.S. pay television service Home Box Office and Henson Associates. The acclaimed avant-garde poet bpNichol was one of the show's writers.

The series was produced with the intention of being aired in varied forms internationally. The human "wraparound" segments were shot separately for each nation, so that the child viewer could always relate to the world of the program. However, in the Irish and Dutch shows the North American human surroundings were used. The series has appeared now in over ten countries and languages.

In the British version: Fraggle Rock is a rocky sea island with a lighthouse, the actual location shown is St. Anthony's Lighthouse located near Falmouth in Cornwall. The wraparounds featuring the inventor "Doc" (Gerry Parkes) in North America are replaced in the UK by the character called "The Captain" (played by Fulton Mackay, and after Mackay's death by first John Gordon Sinclair and subsequently Simon O'Brien) who lives in the lighthouse. The rock is known as Fraggle Rock by the humans. In the German and Norwegian version, the action takes place beneath the workshop of the inventor Doc, played by Hans-Helmut Dickow. In France, the wraparound segments take place in a bakery.

An animated Fraggle Rock series was aired for one season on NBC's Saturday morning lineup in 1987. Some of the episodes were based on the live-action stories. However, this incarnation of the show is generally considered to be poorly-written and lacking in the charm which defined its live-action counterpart.

All the episodes have been released on VHS at one point or another. A petition to get Fraggle Rock released on DVD was run on the web for many years. For a long time the only DVD release had been in the UK, a "best of" collection that was 12 episodes in a grainy transfer.

Hit Entertainment produced a DVD containing three episodes of Fraggle Rock (titled Fraggle Rock: Where it All Began). It was first released on July 27, 2004, to Wal-Mart Stores in the USA, as a test to see if there still is a market for Fraggle Rock. The test was apparently a success: several more DVDs have been released in the USA, including the Fraggle Rock - Complete First Season DVD set on September 6, 2005 (these DVDs also include some episodes of the animated series, plus episodes of the claymation series Pingu). HIT Entertainment released a DVD collection of the complete second season of Fraggle Rock on September 5, 2006. There was also a DVD released with three more episodes of Fraggle Rock titled "Fraggle Rock: Live by the Rule of the Rock.

The movie

In September 2005, it was announced that The Jim Henson Company had begun work on Fraggle Rock: The Movie, with the aim of a release in 2007-2008. The story is said to involve the original Fraggle characters. As of October 2006 this is still current and the BBC reports that the film will be set in the human world with Frank Zappa's son at the helm. As of October 20, 2006; according to Darkhorizons.com: "Henson's company has hired executive producer Ahmet Zappa ("The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless") to write a treatment for the film which will be a full-length live-action musical fantasy starring the underground dwellers who venture out into the human world. Henson Co. co-topper Lisa Henson is producing, whilst Brian Henson will exec produce."

Songs on Fraggle Rock

File:TV fraggle rock red.jpg

Red

Music was central to Fraggle Rock. Most episodes featured two or three original songs cowritten by Canadian poet Dennis Lee and Philip Balsam, as well as incidental music. Several episodes (usually involving Cantus and the Minstrels) were primarily about music, such as Red Fraggle trying to find "her song" for the Fraggle Medley, or the effect of music on the breaking of winter or the presence of light in Fraggle Rock.

• "Follow Me", sung by Uncle Traveling Matt, with Gobo (Trivia: one of the musicians of Fraggle Rock originally submitted this song on his demo tape when applying for work with the television production.)
• "Let Me Be Your Song", sung by Cantus and the Minstrels
• "The Fraggle Medley", sung by the Fraggles, with Cantus and the Minstrels
• "Dixie Wailing" (2:46), sung by Boober, Gobo, Red and The Gorgs
• "Gorgs In Glory" (1:18), sung by Pa and Ma Gorg with Boober
• "Kick A Stone" (0:44), sung by Mokey
• "The Rock Goes On" (1:49), sung by many characters, included on "Music And Magic"
• "Catch the Tail by the Tiger". sung by Gobo, Wembley, and others
