Fraggle Blog - The Preachification of Convincing John

writer -- Jerry Juhl

Am I seeing things right, or does Gobo never emerge from his dive in the opening credits?

Hasn't there already been Fraggle/Doozer communication in earlier episodes? Why doesn't Mokey just ask the Doozers if they mind Fraggles eating their constructions? She can obviously understand them, as we see towards the end of the episode.

Doc gets a phone call from Steve. Whitmire?

Wow, Convincing John is great! Love the faint at the end of his big number.

This episode underscores the basic lack of understanding between Fraggles and Doozers, and shows Mokey taking an important step towards that understanding. I do think it's already been mentioned that Doozers don't mind Fraggles eating their constructions...and I also think there's been actual communication between the two groups...but I'm sure continuity issues like that were difficult to maintain. They probably didn't know exactly what order the episodes would air in, as they were writing them. A really nice episode, enlivened enormously by Henson's performance!
