Gobo is right. That song is catchy. But it’s nowhere near as catchy as the original theme song from the HBO show that ran from 1983-1987. And that will be the biggest challenge for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. Can you blend in just enough nostalgia so that parents will enjoy introducing their kids to this new iteration while also giving those kids something new to latch onto?
Because look. Apple TV+ has all of the original episodes of Fraggle Rock on its service already. It would not be difficult to just move your cursor over and watch/rewatch the originals. Hopefully, this show will find a way to justify and distinguish itself from the original. And if it doesn’t? It’s still, without question, the Fraggle Rock children of the 1980s grew up with and loved, and that Apple surely paid a ton of money for. The world is a better place with more Fraggle Rock, whether it’s pointless or not.
Again, all 13 new episodes of Fraggle Rock: Return to the Rock debut on Apple TV+ January 21. Are you excited for this or what?
