I watched this show with my family when it used to be on HBO, and I just remember how much I loved the adventures and new characters. I found an old tape of them last month and watched them again...and man, they were just as much for adults as they were for kids. It was a really escapist, communist-themed show. All the characters represented something different, some element of a "perfect"community. It was crazy to watch it again and see it in a totally different light. It was then and still is one of the best television shows ever made, period. Even though Convincing John and the gypsy music group scared the hell out of me as a kid (I don't know why!), I loved it then and I love it now. LONG LIVE THE FRAGGLES!!!
This show ruled!! I watched when I was a little kid when it used to air on HBO, then I watched the reruns of the show when it aired on the Disney channel a few years back. This show was really cool since it had an assortment of strange characters like the Fraggles, the Doozers, and the Fraggle capturing Gorgs. It was also good for it's morals as well. Fraggle Rock like many classic children's shows of its time did not talk down to kids nor underestimate their intelligence for that matter. I my honest opinion, they should bring this back to T.V.
By the way, Wembley, and Boober Fraggle Rule!

Jim Henson's "Fraggle Rock" was one of my all-time favorite shows when I was a kid, and it still is one of my all-time favorite shows now that I'm an adult (at 26 years of age, as of this writing). "Fraggle Rock" was about an underground civilization of subterranean creatures and their daily trials & tribulations. They also must contend with the elderly man who lives in the house above where their civilization is located. As many people here and abroad have commented, "Fraggle Rock" tackles a number of important real-world issues but is able to deal with such issues in a way that it doesn't pander to its young audience. That is a rare feat in children's shows these days, and is in fact something that always has long been a problem with children's entertainment. It was also able to do all this and still not lose its appeal as a show for young people. I'm also proud to say that I recently purchased "Fraggle Rock" when it was first released on DVD a few years back and fell in love with one of the most important shows from my childhood all over again.
Long live "Fraggle Rock."

I grew up on Muppets...I watched Sesame Street since before I can remember, my worst punishment and the only one that stands out in my mind is when my mother made me go to bed without watching the Muppet Show, and then, when I was four, Fraggle Rock came out. This of the three shows is the one that stands out in my mind. Right now the theme song is going through my head with the rocking guitar. We have Fraggle Rock marathons (thanks to the episodes being released on video). We used to play with the little Happy Meals toys of them and still have them. What a great show for my generation.
I watched Fraggle Rock when I was a kid, I thought it to be a magical world and actually believed in a place called Fraggle Rock when I was 4. Recently when it was aired it brought back old memories. The fraggles with their all play and no work was something that I enjoyed as a kid. However I didn't like the Gorgs and I also hoped that humans would one day interact with Fraggles. There are four different creatures: Man- Doc and his dog Sprocket, Fraggles, Douzers and Gorgs. Doc does not know the existence of the Fraggles, Gorgs want to capture the Fraggles and Douzers are the uncomplaining, untiring workers. The Fraggles are mainly Gobo the hero, Wembley, Mookey, Red & Boober.
Great for young kids.

- Quotes
Pa Gorg: Son, it's time we had a talk.
Junior Gorg: Oh boy! Is this *that* talk?
Pa Gorg: Yes. It's time you've learned how to rule the universe.
Junior Gorg: Oh, this is *that* talk.
- Alternate versionsThe Doc and Sprocket sequences in the show were localized for each production country. In Germany and North America, Doc was an inventor. In the UK, Doc was changed to the Captain, a retired sailor living in a lighthouse, and in France, a chef. Most other countries chose to dub the original North American versions.Only twelve of the 96 episodes shot for the UK version of Fraggle Rock were believed to survive in 2004, the rest having been junked with the demise of production company TVS in 1992. Many of the sales and production documents concerning the UK version also went missing. As such, British TV channels have had to make do with the original North American versions. Subsequent discoveries of off-air recordings have gradually reduced this number, until in December 2020, the Missing Believed Wiped group confirmed that all 96 episodes were now being preserved by the British Film Institute (BFI).
