Favorite touching Fraggle Rock Moment

The "Friendship Song" sequence in the Episode "Marooned"

[Jackie]

When Doc decides to move away with Ned...that's true friendship.

[beaker]

The entire final episode of FR...man, Ive only seen it a few times but it gets me everytime. I think it's one of the most moving and magical things JHC has ever prodcued. That "Magic Be With You" cave song, the Doc and gobo thing, wow. Just really brings up a lot of emotion seeing it(and yes I cried the first time I saw it on a fansub vhs 4 years ago)

[Sir Didymus]

I agree with Silly Red. I thought it was really sad when Red said "What do you think It's like to die?" That was really sad. I haven't seen all the episodes, so I'm sure the final episode, and all that is really good too.

There are soooo many moments in that series like in " Gobo's School for Explorers " when Gobo & Red are stuck on that ledge, or when Gobo finally met Doc in " Honk of Honks " & in " Gone But Not Forgotten " when Gobo is telling Wembley about his pet thimble bug. I could go on but the moment that hit me the hardest was in " Change of Address " when Gobo sings that " Petals of the Rose " song. The whole scene was executed magnifficently especially the way it starts off with you just hearing Gobo singing in the tunnels before the camera leads you into his room. Plus the song just seemed so final so it was rather fitting. At the time, I didn't know I was watching the last episode but I kinda figured it out when they got to the credits. It's kind of a downer moment really but I liked it.... for some reason.

The most moving moment I've seen so far is the final musical number in A Tune For Two. It felt so touching to see the three species taking a step closer to unity.

The most touching for me would probably be the scene in "Change of Address" (the last episode) where Doc is talking to Sprocket in their new home about everything being made of magic. Jeeze, the thought of it gets me misty-eyed. The entire episode is an all-out bawlfest for me. I get...so...emotional. :)

My other top heatstring-tuggers are songs, rather than episode scenes, being I haven't viewed them in my tapes yet:

Goodbye, Goodbye - What a song. So, so touching.

We Are the Children of Tomorrow - The words to this help me find good in the world when I can't see any. It shows that we are all the same, and the differences that seperate us only really seperate us if we let them.

Just a Dream Away - I nearly broke out crying when I first heard this. So poignantly touching. Wembley kept the spirit alive in his memories, and that, was beautiful.

someone get me some tissues.. :)

I discovered that in The Netherlands, The Fraggles are back on TV. It has been 10 years ago I saw Fraggle Rock.
I was so extremely happy to see it again. I`ve missed the first 15 episodes, but that doesnt mind that much, I am only glad they`re back.

So today I saw episode 16, and it was a very touching episode. Boober and Red are stuck in the caves, and almost die.

[SillyRed]

That is my fave episode!! Did u enjoy hearing "Friendship Song"?

[Thijs]

Yes, I love it:) !!!!

[SillyRed]

I do too!!:D Is that Rowlf as a kid under your pic? BTW, It's not the edited version, is it? Did u see the part where Gobo pointed to where Spiral Cavern is? That's in unedited version?

I think it was the unedited version. In The Netherlands they don`t show commercials in the middle of an episode.
That`s why they show those US skits in The Muppet Show in The Netherlands.

PS the picture shows Tommie, a character from the Dutch Sesame Street. My real name is Thijs, but nobody is able to pronounce that.

YES! Those are some of the most magical moments in this world's history. They make me want to stay alive. Thanks for reminding me of them. Ya see, it's been a while since I've watched fraggles ( I know, that's awful on my part ) and I've been slowly watching them again. Just saw " Treasure of FR " today. It's nice to see them " fresh " again.

And " Just a Dream Away " has to be one of the most brilliant things ever written and the fact that my heros sing it... well... I get misty thinking about it. It sums up life and death so ... perfectly... that it almost makes everything make sense to me. Leave it to the fraggles to help find the secret of life eh? This song came to mind when we put our last cat down.....

" Rainbow Connection " although not a fraggle tune, is also brilliant in this same fashion.

I do believe that the episodes are uncut, but when exactly did Gobo say that? Was that with Felix the Fearless, or did he show it to Boober and Red? (if it's the latter, it's EDITORAMA, baby!)

[SillyRed]

Felix the Fearless

[Joggy]

Ohhh you mean:

Felix: "Follow me!"
Gobo: "Wait! It's THIS way!"
Felix: "Oh. Follow him!"

That was cut out? Odyssey is weird.

[SillyRed]

they cut to the next scene before Gobo could say "It's this way!"

[Joggy]

My favorite touching moments are:

- "Petals Of A Rose". That song has so much meaning. To me it's a very special song.

- A lot of scenes from the last episodes. Gobo meeting Doc for the first time. The Fraggles listening to Doc's "last message". Doc's sadness over never seeing Gobo again. The discovery of the new tunnel. And finally when Gobo does manage to give Doc his message "You CANNOT leave the magic!"

- Boober and Red trapped in "Marooned". They have such wonderful moments in there. You gotta love the Friendship song, and Boober's confession: "Sometimes I liked songs and games and stuff. But that's my secret. ... Don't fall asleep, please, Red..."

- Gobo leaving the Rock in "Catch The Tail By the Tiger".

I liked that scene from the Christmas special too. I think it was one of the last times we got to see the fraggles. If I'm not mistaken, it aired after their series ended. It was cool to see Robin & Gobo together too being of same voice & all.

Like said, I love that episode, bc it has "Friendship song"

[getup]

there have been some good ones listed here so far...

Definitely Goodbye Goodbye...that song makes me tear everytime i hear it. also the episode of Uncle Matt's Discovery...especially the song I don't Understand Him...but the whole show is touching to me. i love it and will always treasure it.
