Fraggle Rock (1983–1987)
10/10
"I want to make a show that will bring world peace"
15 June 2022
Jim Henson had a lofty goal with this series and while I doubt it will ever be achieved this hopefully may help kids start thinking about their relationships with other people and other parts of the world and how their actions may affect others, hopefully. This show tries to do that by showing how interconnected the 3 main species of fraggle rock are, and even some unwitting connection to humans as well (who live in outer space as they see it) as well as how differently they see and value the world they live in.

In the meantime this series has the absolute best music of any children's show out there, I put it on for my nieces and nephews and they will just start dancing to it, even the opening theme is wonderful and full of personality.

The characters each have their own voice and produce what is for kids (and even adults) pretty entertaining, if rather simple, drama. I wish more series were this upbeat and enthusiastic, I'll trade all the gritty reboots of the last 50 years for another happy gem of a show as this one. I recommend this to both adults and kids, at least listen to the music, it's fun.
