Fraggle Blog - The Great Radish Famine

Episode 19, by Jerry Juhl

Is this the first episode where we hear Ned Shimmelfinney's first name?

Ooh, Marjory is a magical trash heap!

I wonder why they tend to write one of the Fraggle Five out of an episode from time to time? Why isn't Gobo in this episode? Because Jerry Nelson had more to do with Marjory this episode?

The Doozers are all knitting! That's hilarious.

Does Marjory think Mokey is a "he"? That's how she referred to her.

No Traveling Matt postcard at all!

Well, that was a neat episode, a real "world-building" episode. Jerry Juhl really expanded upon our knowledge of the Fraggle/Doozer/Gorg universe, all in the service of making a very nice statement. When circumstances affect all the creatures, their innate instinct is to blame each other. And when they do all get together to solve a problem, things aren't all "perfect harmony"...but at least sometimes they do get together!
