Jerry Juhl was obviously a 'jack-of-all-trades' within the Henson company, but he was also the head writer of Fraggle Rock and wrote the bulk of the series. So I thought it was a good idea to share our favorite show written by Jerry Juhl and a brief summary of why we like it. My personal favorite is "Secret Society of Poohbahs". It's one of my favorite Mokey episodes and "Turn Your Buttons Down" is one of my favorite songs of the series.

I'd have to go with Change of Address, since the finale so amazingly ties up the series, but it almost feels like cheating to pick that episode. Aside from that one, I love Uncle Matt's Discovery, it's another of the most moving episodes of the series with Uncle Matt's crisis of confidence.

My choice would be Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water. My second favorite would is Change of Address, then after that, "Wembley's Flight." Those are my favorite top three Jerry Juhl episodes for Fraggle Rock.
