Favorite Fraggle?

Boober!

I want...I want...I WANT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE MOVIES!

For me it's definitely Red! She is so full of energy and lives life to the fullest. She's also one of the more complex characters, always trying to figure herself out. Cantus the Minstrel has always fascinated me as well. He's a hep cat!

Red will always be my fave.

I like Trash Heap the most, and Wembly the second most. He has a heart of gold!!

Sprocket is also very cool. :)

Boober's my all-time fave among the main five. Boober can always envision every possible disaster which might ever possibly loom up ahead. He's a hypochondriac, and if I remember rightly, there was at least one occasion where Boober refers to looking up diseases (like from a medical encyclopedia) as getting himself ready so that when he gets sick with whatever illness, he'll know what it is...

Also - Cantus the minstrel, and Marjory the trash heap (plus Philo and Gunge ! ), and all three Gorgs, and Sprocket the dog.
The Gorgs live so obliviously of the oddity of living in a world which nearly always contains just the three of them. If a magical peapod doesn't succeed in growing a princess for him, will poor Junior end up being on his own forever? (Concept: Junior Gorg eventually raising kids of his own; would the Gorg's world (or ours) manage to survive that???)

P.S. If you love Sprocket, do you also love Wallace and Gromit animation films?

Tag-on question:
If you were to work for a person who is the human equivalent of one of the five main Fraggles, who would you prefer as your boss?

For me it would be Gobo, with Mokey and Boober tied for second. Gobo understands getting a job done even when it may be difficult or not entirely fun, and can stick to completing what needs to happen before then going on for a more fun adventure. Mokey prefers to be contemplative and artistic but she actually has one of the riskiest jobs, the responsibility of going outside to take radishes from the Gorgs' garden.

Hey, I've worked in organizations under a Red and under a Wembley. They're very endearing Fraggle characters for sure, but in the real world you'd grow yourself an ulcer overnight if your paycheck ever depended upon them!

Boober, no contest. I thought he was funny when i was a kid, now as an adult? Boober IS basically me. My gf never watched it cause she was a bit too old for it back when it was on (she's 6 years older than me) but I've been watching every single episode of the run they are giving the show on teletoon retro (that's in canada)and she's watching them with me and she can't believe how much like me he is. She thinks he influenced me subconsciously as i was growing up and that's why i grew up to be like him. :-p

Anyway, as a kid i liked Mokey too, cause she was nice, but now, I kinda can't stand her. So drippy and hippie-ish and her songs are always the worst.

Though she is not quite as bad as Red who i didn't like as a kid and still don't like now. What is the point of her character? Is it so that bully-ish and a**hole kids would have some fraggle to identify with? At least the show uses her a lot to basically tell kids how wrong it is to be like her... She's self-centered, has little regard for others and is just obnoxious and annoying. The same reasons i didn't like her back in the days.

Wembley well....not that i can't identify partly with him too but he is TOO much of a wimp and a pushover. He could have had a better...character arc. If i may say.... he should have gotten less annoying as time went on. Still, there isns't tehnically much wrong with him otherwise personality-wise.

Gobo starts great but eventually they kinda sometimes made him a bit too much like Red. The early shows, first series, he was very likeable. Later on, not so much. It seems to coincide with him getting that ugly haircut and losing the great cardigan. Why did they change his look? He looked so much better before they shortened his hair and gave him the explorer vest. I suppose he's still my fav after Boober though.

But technically the other best character after boober, in fact probably tied with him at number 1, is of course Sprocket but yeah, he's not a fraggle... He's pretty much the main reason why my gf wants to watch the episodes with me. He's so much like a real dog, and in all the best ways.
