Get your traveling gear ready, because we’re headedBack to the Rock! The Jim Henson Company is returning to the world ofFraggle Rockthis Friday, and to celebrate, Collider is excited to premiere a special sneak peek at the upcoming season ofFraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, featuring everyone’s favorite cave-dwelling puppets and their favorite food: radishes.
Radishes are the centerpiece of the Fraggle Rock ecosystem, collected from the garden of the dreaded Gorgs (who live above ground) bythe brave Mokey. They’re then prepared by Boober, whose cooking skills rival that of any Fraggle in the land — and probably any human too. But while Boober shows off his impressive radish hibachi skills (rabachi? hibadish?), the other Fraggles are distracted by some delicious-looking strawberries that Mokey found in the Gorgs’ garden, missing the show he’s putting on. While it seems like Mokey didn’t intend to steal Boober’s thunder, he’s put out all the same, leaving viewers to wonder what will happen between the two.
