Fraggle Rock: Back To The Rock
 

I WANT it to be good, but WHAT did they do to mokey?

Looks interesting, but I agree, Mokey looks way off.

Didn't they try this a few years back and it didn't do so well?

I think those where just shorts, and most likely just to get the three new cast members up to speed. there was an interview with the four of them, and dave golez mentioned that 'the new gobo is getting better, but he's not quite jerry's level yet'

So which one is gonna be gay?

please don't give them ideas

Doesn't Disney own it now? I promise you it's at least been part of the conversation. Disney has to put gay stuff into everything now.

...just not in China.

If it wasn't for Mokey it would look like they managed to bring it back just as it was. Little sad it will be trapped on a streaming service I don't have... though changing Mokey, one of my faves as a kid, makes me slightly less sad.

Did anyone here manage to catch the first season?

I most likely would've, it if wasn't on AppleTV+.

Disney does not own Fraggle Rock.

Might have to check this out.

I saw a little bit of it. Looks like a reboot. Doc is replaced by a young black woman because at some point she refers to herself as Doc and she has Sprocket as a pet. I don't understand why she couldn't have been someone else moving into his old place and she happens to have a cat as a pet. Seems like a waste to have it be a reboot instead of a continuation.

Other than that, everything else looks pretty spot on.

Agree, making it a reboot seems so pointless when it would have made perfect sense for there to be a new owner/tenant of the place, with zero effort needed to make it make sense, since the original Doc moved out.

Maybe she could have coincidentally just had the the nickname "Doc" because she's a doctor or vet (edit: supposedly a grad student?), but Sprocket being her pet, too...? I mean, he'd be missed and I get them wanting to include him, but still.

Maybe someday this will show up elsewhere, since I have no desire to get Apple+, but won't hold my breath. (Besides... really, fix Mokey, it's weird that everyone but her looks exactly the same.)
