It's Been Thirty Years

No, not since I last posted to this site. That's only been two months and it has been a nice vacation. But now it is time to go back to work. It has been thirty years since these guys started on TV.   


Fraggle Rock was a big deal when it opened thirty years ago. It gave Jim Henson and his Muppet factory a new outlet for his puppets and a whole different setting than Sesame Street. It introduced us to three new species (Fraggles, Doozers, and Gorgs) and a all-knowing talking trash heap named Marjory. And it encouraged us to "dance your cares away." If you can't find it on TV anymore, according to vulture.com, Parks and Recreation is Fraggle Rock with live characters. I don't watch the show, but if Leslie Knope is really Red, I may have to start.   

Last year, the Fraggles came out to help the Ben Folds Five musical group with their video "Do It Anyway."  You can watch it below. Remember "worry's for another day."
