Fraggle Rock
Underground puppet series
Fraggle Rock is a children's television series created by Jim Henson, featuring puppet creatures called Fraggles who live in an underground cave system.
The Fraggles are small, colorful, and musical, spending their days singing and playing while navigating relationships with the industrious Doozers and the giant Gorgs.
The show aired from 1983 to 1987 and remains a touchstone of 1980s children's programming: I grew up watching Fraggle Rock.
