Fraggle Blog - Gunge the Great and Glorious

Episode IIIxxii, written by Laura Phillips.

Wow, they really went out of their way to get in Uncle Matt's postcard this episode!

It seems that more characters dislike than like Matt's postcards! Were the writers regretting having to place one in each episode?

Wow, that Doc/Sprocket final scene really could have used a nice tag line. Neither character really seemed to know when it was over.

So with this episode we come to what ended up being the end of the third season, even though they produced two more episodes for season 3 which got rolled into season 4.

This was a fun episode, the moral of which might be "It's bad to be the king". The dental differences between Philo and Gunge were pointed out with great clarity, and it was interesting to see the rat-like creatures interact with the Doozers, about whom we learned a lot more than we knew before. Nice for Marjory to have an appearance as well!

Okay, on (sort of) to season 4.
