I saw this a few hours ago, I like it but this Gobo did look like the one that we all know and love.

Well you have to keep in mind that this is a really early adaption of him. He's still the same Gobo we all love, he's just in the process of being created.

Okay but he didn't look much like the way Gobo was in the first 12 episodes!

I am amazed at what Henson is finding in the archives. There are so many different things that Jim did that none of us know about. Truly remarkable.

What an excellent video! I always wanted to know how the Fraggles looked like in preproduction.
