Fraggle Rock

This was a wonderful first episode of the show. I found it entertaining and a fun episode. I really enjoy the idea behind this and am looking forward to the next episode. The Fraggles are really cool looking and different. They all have different personalities and yet they seem to all get along with each other really well. Uncle Max is truly hilarious. I enjoyed his goal to go and explore outer space and am looking forward to hearing his findings of the strange creatures that live there. I would recommend this episode to anyone that wants to get an idea of the show.

Summary:

Gobo's Uncle Matt discovers the opening to Outer Space and sets off to explore it, leaving Gobo behind to explore Fraggle Rock and pick up the postcards Matt will send.
