It was a bit weird to see that the Doozers appear to be living in some sort of forest, after seeing them underground in Fraggle Rock. Maybe this is a different colony, lol.
I have a feeling that's the case. After all, they aren't named after construction equipment. Maybe they've never even seen a Fraggle.
It's like replacing the Yoda puppet with what they have now. Suddenly, we have flying Doozers and these strange cars they drive.
I'm not complaining about the actual show, but I really don't see why they didn't just start from scratch. Using the Doozers was unneccesary.
I don't see Henson doing a puppet based Fraggle Rock project for some time, even though viral videos would be the easiest, most cost effective, and painfully obvious way to rejuvenate the characters. But it seem that we're going to get a
lot of complaints about this being some sort of surrogate Fraggle Rock or replacement or something when it's pretty obvious that it's no more than its own little thing. I stifle to even call it an expanded universe.
I think it's much more fair to judge against current preschool programming. It looks like it has the potential to have the heart and fun of Dinosaur Train. As long as the characters don't spend 30 seconds asking the audience where the green triangle that's
right next to them is only to have a prerecorded audience answer their own question anyway, the show's going to be fine. That's like the kid's show equivalent of saying the bar is set so low that as long you don't pick your nose, you'll be fine. Lot of boogery fingers in kid's television today...Dora, Mickey, Blue, SuperWhy....
