In the opening song, Gobo falls down the well and lands in the pond after Junior showed Ma he caught a Fraggle. However, Wembley also falls into the pond, and so does Red in the closing song. Do Red and Wembley also get caught by Junior, and then they fall in the well like Gobo did, or do they just go to the diving board and jump off? I've always wondered that... I think that Wembley and Red jump off the diving board, because if you notice that when Gobo falls, he falls straight from above, and the other two show up from the side of the camera, not the top, meaning they ran and jumped off the board. Anyone know?

What's funny about the closing theme is, when I was little, and I'd see Gobo and Wembley come out of that hole right after you see the sign Fraggle Rock right above them, I always thought that they just got done drying off from being in the pool in the opening song. Does that make sense? :smirk:

Well, it makes sense. It's just a case of one of those thoughts kids/people get in their mind and believe without really thinking about the validity of it. :smirk:

Anyone listen to the menu music on the new Fraggle Rock DVDs? It's the same music as the closing theme but they block out Gobo & Wembely's scatzing. There's a point where you can hear the beginning of when Wembley starts singing. It's odd that they keeo Red's splash sound effect though.

I found the odd too, I think the way the track was mixed they couldn't get rid of of the splash unless they rerecorded the song.
