Naturally enough, the original Doc is gone, replaced by a much younger environmental studies grad student of the same moniker (Lilli Cooper). And when Uncle “Traveling” Matt’s journeys into “outer space” took him to New Zealand – we nearly lost our minds.ġ980s favourites Red, Gobo, Boober, Mokey and Wembley are here to entertain another generation in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.
#Fraggle rock mokey series#
REVIEW: It was a Saturday morning staple for a generation of Kiwi kids.Īlong with What Now (with its cadre of cartoons), The Muppet Show, Get Smart, Hogan’s Heroes and Star Trek, Fraggle Rock was a weekly ritual, perfectly timed for downing toast, or Weet-Bix, with ahead of that morning’s sporting or cultural activities.Ĭriss-crossing between the tiny diligent dozers, the sometimes feckless fraggles, the self-obsessed gorgs and curious canine Sprocket and his ageing master Doc (Gerry Parkes), this Jim Henson series boasted the perfect mix of adventure, musical numbers, slapstick comedy, life lessons (“the great trash heap has spoken” after all) and catchphrases that would catch the imagination.įor Gen X-ers, highly-strung Wembley, cynical Boober, fearless Red, pragmatic Gogo and bohemian Mokey were like old friends before we had Friends (I swear Mokey was the inspiration for the long-running sitcom’s Phoebe).
