What, exactly, is Gillis’ role on Fraggle Rock? Muppet Wiki describes him as “the resident musician of Fraggle Rock.” But Gobo and Wembley reside in Fraggle Rock, and I think of them as musicians — Gobo plays the guitar, and Wembley plays the bongos. I know that Gillis conducted a group of...

I know that Fraggle Rock was made in Canada. Does that mean that Doc and Sprocket lived there, too? I know they lived near a seashore for most of the series, then moved to a desert area in “Change of Address.” I’d just like to know what country they’re in, as I am writing a short story.

Look what I just found on YouTube! Bob singing with the kids about the joys of eating at Burger King.

Look what was posted on YouTube a couple of days ago! It’s the original “Imagination Rain” song by Steve Zuckerman, as opposed to the re-recording by Richie Havens. And it’s all here! Before, the only copy of the original I could find had the beginning cut off.

May I please have prayers for my father? He hit his head last year and suffered short-term memory problems. He forgets things easily, loses things constantly, and can no longer drive. My mother is taking care of him. I go to their house sometimes and try to help him, but we don’t know if he’ll...

Does anyone wish it would be possible to live in Fraggle Rock? If so, why? For me, it would be the fact that someone would be there to do the job of gathering and cooking food. (I live alone and don’t like to cook; the kitchen gets too hot in summer, and then there’s all the cleaning up to do...

Before I get on with the poem.... Okay, okay, I understand why Mokey and Cotterpin never met. They were both performed by Kathryn Mullen. Still, as far as I’m concerned, it wouldn’t have been impossible. Dave Goelz performed Boober and Sidebottom, who would interact with each other. According...

Today I was thinking about the episode “Invasion of the Toe Ticklers,” where Mokey was in the Gorgs’ garden and met a caterpillar-like creature that enjoyed tickling her toes. She named the creature Agnes and called her species Toe Ticklers. Meanwhile, Ma wanted Pa to use a sprayer full of...

Remember the short films made by the Brothers Quay? Here's one I found on YouTube. I'm trying to remember one that involves some kids. I think one of them may have been named Rachel. As I recall, they were riding something, maybe bicycles or skateboards. Or maybe one of them was on skates...

I’ve noticed a thread for the funniest Fraggle moments, one for the scariest Fraggle moments, one for the most tear-jerking Fraggle moments, and even one for the most painful Fraggle moments. What about one for the most heartwarming Fraggle moments? When did Fraggle Rock make you feel just a...

The idea for this came to me years ago, when I was in my twenties. It’s loosely based on a story I read when I was a kid. What Will Wembley Wear? Winter was here. Wembley could tell by the way his nose tingled when he stuck it out from under the covers. “Brrr!” he said, sticking it back...

If you could meet the Fraggles, which of them would you strike up the closest friendship with? For me, it would be Boober, because I worry a lot. He knows all about that. :sigh:

I thought we could use a new thread for favorite Fraggle Rock quotes. Here are two to start with. From The Preachification of Convincing John, after Mokey has made her friends take the Solemn Oath of the Fraggle “never to willfully eat or destroy Doozer buildings again.” Gobo: Aww, let me just...

“Weeba weeba, waffa waffa, garpox gumbage, whoopee!” These are the words to the Solemn Oath of the Fraggle. Here is an example of how it is used: In “The Preachification of Convincing John,” Mokey believes that eating Doozer constructions hurts the Doozers’ feelings, and she tells her friends...

Just thought I’d post a transcription of this little animated bit I remember from years ago. Corrections are welcome. Oh, and as I recall, the announcer is female. Announcer: The Sesame Street Vaudeville Theater takes pride in presenting “Near and Far”! [Standing on the stage are two men...

What bits with guest stars stick out in your mind the most? It doesn't have to be a favorite. It can be something that left you scared, mad, confused, or even stunned. Appearances by Victor Borge always bring me a chuckle, but this one all but sends me out of the room holding my sides:

This sketch has been running through my head for quite a few days. Anybody remember it? Big Bird sees a “Bus Stop” sign and thinks it says “Bus, Stop,” so he keeps yelling at every bus that comes along to stop, then doesn’t get on any of them. One of the adults eventually sets hims straight...

Does anyone remember a song with the recurring line: “There’s more than one way for a family to be”? As I recall, Susan and Gordon sang it, and there may have been images of different kinds of families. Any corrections and/or additions would be very much appreciated! Very vague memories of some...

Does anyone remember seeing this sketch in English?

The other day, I was thinking about different kinds of clothes and accessories. It was then that the following Big Bird sketch suddenly came to mind: One day, Big Bird sees some Anything Muppets wearing hats with streamers that hang down, covering their faces. They tell Big Bird they’re called...
