What do you think? Are you a Fraggle Rock fan? Do you plan to watch the revival on Apple TV+?
Considering most Muppet projects are on Disney & HBO somehow ended up with Sesame Street….. how exactly did Apple get this?
I’m assuming the old guy with the dog has long since shuffled off his mortal coil, so will there be any new human stars in this show?
My daughter who is now 39 used to love this show. I definitely will watch it with my grandchildren!
