Just watched the first episode and I've got happy tears. It's so good. They didn't reinvent the series, they revived it. The classic songs are back. Two of the original performers (Dave Goelz-Boober and Uncle Matt, and Karen Prell-Red) most of the same puppet designs (with a couple of exceptions). I'm so happy!
I grew up watching Fraggle Rock- it gave my childhood that spark of magic!
When I heard about the new series, I nearly cried tears of joy.
The return of Karen Prell (Red) and David Goelz (Boober and Traveling Matt) is greatly appreciated! The Doozers are still clever, hardworking creatures. The Gorgs are as goofy and bumbling as ever! The new Doc is cool- I honestly wouldn't want to see a Gerard Parkes imitation as it would only be disrespectful to him. I would like to see a bit more from her scenes with our beloved Sprocket- who my sister had once convinced me was a real dog. The music is just as wonderful as I remember with some classics from the original thrown in!
My biggest complaint, however, is the physical and personality change in Mokey. It's distracting, irritating and totally unnecessary.
Overall, this team has done a great job in capturing the magic of Jim Henson's vision while implementing modern capabilities.

I love the original 'Fraggle Rock', despite not growing up with it, I discovered it not too long ago, and fell in love with it, it managed to not only be a great kids' show, but also just a great show in general, filled with great messages and colourful characters for children and thoughtful humour and well developed characters for older viewers: it truly could please everyone, in a way that only Jim Henson's other puppets, 'The Muppets' and 'Sesame Street' could, although since its ending in the late '80s, 'Fraggle Rock' never got revived, in any format like 'The Muppets' or 'Sesame Street'. However, in 2020, Apple revived the Fraggles for a series of short episodes, which proved successful enough to warrant a full-on revival commissioned by Apple.
Premiering in 2022, 'Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock' had me both excited and worried, could this reboot capture the humour and spark of the original? Or would end up feeling a bit off like many recent 'Muppets' projects, and, after watching the first season in its entirety I can say the former is true, and it does something I could never expect: improve upon the original.
'Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock' takes the same premise as the original, of taking a society built upon four main societies, the 'Silly Creatures' (human beings}, the Doozers, the Fraggles and the Gorgs, the Doozers, Fraggles all live with each other, albeit fractured, and are aware of each other's existence, unlike the Silly Creatures, who don't know of the Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs, the human world remains unexplored by humankind, until Gobo's uncle Travelling Matt, decides to leave the rock when a hole to 'outer space' opens up, when a woman named Doc and her dog Sprocket move in.
Across its first season, 'Back to the Rock' manages to expand and recapture the fantastical setting of the original, while creating a fun serialized story that flows along side the entire series with out intruding on each episode's individual story. I have already mentioned that the reboot does everything as well as the original, especially the messages, which are very important for children (and adults too), which are always sweet and never corny, but it also does a few things better: for one, the new Doc is much better than the original in my opinion, Lilli Cooper is great in her role, Mokey and Gobo, two of the least interesting Fraggles are developed much more, the jokes are faster and more frequent, but not in an obnoxious, also, the Doozers are given more screen time, which is great. The new performers are phenomenal, as are the set designers, creating a truly gorgeous world for these characters to inhabit. At the end of the day, my only real complaint was that the Gorgs could have been given slightly more attention, but everything else is so amazing, that it already even matters, and with so much else going on more of the Gorgs could have felt tacked on.
Overall, everyone should watch 'Back to the Rock', especially if you like the original, or if you like 'The Muppets' but thought 'Fraggle Rock' was 'just for kids', 'Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock' is a warm and funny show that anyone of any age should watch. Why not dance your cares away down in Fraggle Rock?

My boys (7 and 4) and I are loving this so far (halfway through the new season). This is everything I loved a about Fraggle Rock as a kid, refreshed, brightened, and cheered up a bit (the boring and scary bits from the original seem lightened a bit). Great writing, sets, and acting.
I love this show so much! I'm 40+ years old and watch an episode each night before bed - I fall a sleep happy and singing! :-) The characters are so funny, and the show teaches modern way of thinking. Love they way they dance.

- TriviaOf the lead five Fraggles, only Mokey looks significantly different from the original series. Not only does she wear her hair back in a ponytail and wear different clothes, but she's even a different type of puppet. Her arms are controlled by rods (like Kermit or Gonzo) rather than the articulated hands (like Fozzie or Swedish Chef) she used to have.
