Can't stand the suspense, eh? Well, it's a Fraggle, folks-and Fraggles live in Fraggle Rock,
which is both a maze of caverns and the title of a new half-hour children's series on pay-TV's
Home Box Office. The latest brainstorm of Jim Henson (creator of the Muppets), Fraggles are small,
furry characters who like to sing, feast, frolic, wear silly hats, gather radishes and engage in
skilled pursuits, such as balancing pickles on the ends of their noses. The stars are Gobo, an
almost fearless leader; Mokey, a sensitive, artistic type; Wembley, who's small, insecure and
eager to please; Red, a hyperactive tomboy; and Boober, whose two great obsessions are death and
laundry. Boober is also superstitious, pessimistic and paranoid. He sounds like our kind of Fraggle-perfectly
normal.
