Celebrate Fraggle Rock's 40th Anniversary!

The Fraggles turn 40! 

On January 10, 1983 the world was introduced to the subterranean world of Fraggle Rock. 


Today we celebrate the milestone with a few of our favorite memories of Fraggle Rock over the years.

Fraggle Rock HBO Premiere Promo:

   

Fraggle Rock had many international productions and below you can see each country's variations (1983-1987): 

 

It's hard to believe we've been "following" these furry friends for since the very first episode... 

  

We've met all kinds of wacky characters like Convincing John:  

 

We've inspected all the issues:

  

and learned from The Minstrels that "there are no rules....and those are the rules"...

   

In 1987, Fraggle Rock came to NBC as a Saturday morning cartoon:

   

Kermit and Robin met the Fraggles in 1989's mother of all Muppet-crossovers A Muppet Family Christmas

   

After a long absence the Fraggles returned in 2001 for Ben Folds Five's "DO IT ANYWAY" music video filmed on the Henson company lot:

   

In 2020, almost over twenty years later, the Fraggles retuned again for a series of Rock On shorts for Apple TV+. 

   

In 2022, the reboot / sequel series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock premiered which gave us all a reason to "Party In Fraggle Rock":

   

As we've seen. when it comes to Fraggel Rock, you cannot leave the magic:

 

Here's to 40 years of Fraggle fun with more adventured on the way as Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock will be back for season two sometime in the near future.
