Pepe the King Prawn: Si, si! I remember this one time...

Red Fraggle: No time for flashbacks! I've got big news! Me... and that ditz they call Traveling Matt are going to be in brand new advertisements!

Yeah, I heard! They're for shoes right?

Boober Fraggle: Shoes? Uncle Travelling Matt falls even without things on his feet. Now your giving him shoes?

*Uncle Travelling Matt rolls down a hill, in a ball much like an armadillo when frightened, from the Fraggle cave on the hill*

Uncle Travelling Matt: Just getting used to these shoe thingys!

Really? What commercial is it? I'll have to keep a lookot for it.

I think Matt is the only Fraggle I've seen that wears shoes. Every other fraggle I've seen in unshod.

Uncle Travelling Matt: I get to ride a skateboard too!

Boober Fraggle: He can barely walk, now your giving him a skateboard?!

Red Fraggle: The company's idea, not mine!

He rode a skateboard in one of the episodes.

Boober: Yes...and...

Yea I guess he crashed on that one too.

Matt: What is with all of you and my propensity for clumsiness?

Boober Fraggle: Well, you've basically fallen from, rolled from, tripped on, and ran into everything in Fraggle Rock... and Outer Space!

Uncle Travelling Matt: I... won't deny that... at least I have been to Outer Space!

Junior Gorg: You'we still clumsy!

But that's why we love you Uncle Matt. IT's your clumsy charm that makes you so endearing...in a lovable funny Uncle kind of way.

*Gets smashed in the face with 12 boxes of Cinnamon & Brown sugar Pop-Tarts from an unknown location (and the funny thing is, when I sang the pinball number count, each box fell on me as I said the numbers from one to twelve!)

I'm a Deadly expert. But there's not too much to see.

Uncle Deadly: Hey!

Don't take that the wrong way. The few appearances gave you a big following! You see, he had big roles in two Season One episodes (Vincent Price and Twiggy) that were really good and made him the dragon he is today! After Season One, he was demoted to small sketch appearances followed by a complete disappearance following the mid 80's.

Rowlf the Dog: Yada, yada, yada! Get on with it!

Long story short, he only appeared in a few things. And you can find all 120 episodes of TMS, including the two Uncle Deadly episodes, and a few cut-out sketches from Season One... here...

Fozzie Bear: Now how is that long story short?
