Fraggle Rock: Complete Second Season - Region 1 DVD

All the while, absent-minded inventor Doc (Gerry Parkes, the show's sole human) shares his discoveries with dog Sprocket (a shaggy cousin to Wallace's Gromit), Marjory the Trash Heap dispenses advice, and Gobo's Uncle Traveling Matt explores outer space, i.e. the real world. Part of the same eco-system, the giant Gorgs and tiny Bob the Builder-like Doozers usually remain in the background, except for a few episodes, most involving Cotterpin Doozer. To be sure, there are lessons to be learned, but the tone is never preachy and the musical sequences are always imaginative. As the cast sings in each episode, "Dance your cares away / Worries for another day / Let the music play / Down at Fraggle Rock!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy
