Fraggle Blog - Wembley and the Mean Genie

Episode IIIix, written by Robert Sandler.

I wonder if there will be any more new writers?

Interesting how important the subplot with the inn is in the Doc/Sprocket segments. It's almost like they ran out of things for Doc and Sprocket to do, and so they had to create this new environment for them to talk about...but we never get to actually see it.

Wembley's nose seems to have gotten dirty...

Interesting that such a human, "real world" concept like the "genie in a bottle" is playing out inside Fraggle Rock. I thought they had their own myths and magic.

So the overall concept of this one seemed a bit labored. Why a genie? And I'm sitting here, trying to remember what exactly the genie was supposed to prove, or teach, or make clear. Why wasn't it granting wishes? That kind of slipped by me. Not one of the best.
