Fraggle Blog - Space Frog Follies

Episode IVxii, written by David Young.

I feel like even if I hadn't read that Rob Mills was puppeteering Gobo to Jerry Nelson's voice, I would be able to tell that something's up. Things are really weird with Gobo. He's very subdued. But why wasn't Nelson doing the puppeteering? There must be a reason...

Okay, Wembley's "watch my lips" was a definite nod to Kermit and The Muppet Movie.

So how do Fraggles stick pickles to their noses?

The resolution of the Doc/Sprocket story was extremely farfetched. Ned Shimmelfinney likes for people to destroy his clothing! Of course!

A fun episode though. Neat to see a real life animal in Fraggle Rock. And they showed remarkable restraint in making only one Kermit reference!
