Another good Jerry Juhl episode. Now I realize we hadn't quite been introduced to all the characters in the first episode, as we met Ma and Pa Gorg and heard of Ned Shimmelfinney for the first time.
I can see how writing a show with so many different elements must be kind of constricting; it seemed odd at first that Gobo remembered about Uncle Matt's postcard when they were all trapped in a cage, but I guess that was the best place to squeeze the Traveling Matt sequence in.
I'll be interested to see if the songs in Fraggle Rock become more integrated into the story than they were in this episode. The plot kind of seems to stop while the characters sing, which is rather a "no-no" in musical theatre.
