Fraggle Blog - The Secret Society of Poobahs

Episode IIIx, written by Jerry Juhl.

I like the Fraggle in the opening with the mustache. Not many Fraggles have mustaches.

I think that Sprocket is never right-handed when he's in his bed. Hole must have been too small for two puppeteers.

Well, that was a fun episode, and yay for Convincing John making an appearance! "Don't take life too serious son; it ain't nohow permanent" would seem to be the moral. The Poobah costumes were really neat and elaborate. Will we ever hear of the Poobahs again?

Wikipedia tells us that "poobah" stems from "The Mikado", and has come to mean a self-inflated person, perhaps fond of titles. Odd that the Fraggles would use this term, and not have their own word. Kind of like them having a genie in the last episode.
