On this day, January 10, 1983, Fraggle Rock, the beloved children’s series created by Jim Henson, premiered on HBO. The show, a mix of puppetry, music, and humor, aimed to entertain while promoting themes of friendship, cooperation, and environmental awareness.

Set in a colorful underground world, Fraggle Rock followed the lives of the playful Fraggles, industrious Doozers, and the giant Gorgs. Through their adventures, the show explored important lessons about diversity, respect, and conflict resolution. The series ran for five seasons with a total of 96 episodes, making it a cornerstone of 80s children’s programming.

Fun Fact: Fraggle Rock was groundbreaking as one of the first international co-productions of a children’s show, with adaptations made to suit audiences in the U.S., Canada, and the UK.
