In a world where people spend a lot of time watching TV shows and movies, it’s refreshing to see a show that doesn’t focus on the latest technological advances or complicated plot lines.
Instead focuses on the simple joys of childhood, like the adventures of an adorable little boy who lives in a tree and his best friend, a stuffed animal named Blanket. Or amazing musical shows with lots of colourful puppets voiced by your favourite artists.
Yes, you guessed it right. I am talking about Fraggle Rock. If you’ve ever watched Fraggle Rock, you know that it’s one of the most beloved children’s shows of all time. It’s full of bright colors and fun characters, and it’s probably one of the few things you can watch as an adult and still enjoy it.
