Test 2

VERRRRRY COOL! Here's the teaser trailer:



Geektyrant has the additional details:

The show brings back classic characters like Gobo, Red, Boober, Mokey, Wembley, and Uncle Traveling Matt. “While the Fraggles might be in different parts of the Fraggle Rock caves, they can still find ways to have fun together, with music, silliness, special guests, and of course the help of devices created by the industrious Doozers called the Doozertubes.”

The first episode is titled “Shine On,” and it features new Doozertubes being delivered to the Fraggles’ caves, allowing them to come together for a favorite song “Shine On, Shine On Me.”

The new episodes are being produced by The Jim Henson Company, and executive produced by Halle Stanford and John Tartaglia. It’s explained that “in accordance with the current social distancing guidelines, Fraggle Rock: Rock On! is all shot on iPhone 11s from the homes of the production team and individual artists from all over the U.S.”

Love it! The Fraggles were something that I loved when I was younger (along with the Muppets - Jim Henson could do no wrong in my book). And now these adorable characters are returning to us on the Apple TV+ streaming platform.

Speaking of Apple TV+, a few weeks ago, at the very start of this new social distancing era, my family decided to give the new Apple streaming service a shot. After a couple of evenings on the couch and a few shows watched, I'd say that we are reasonably pleased (so far).

The Morning Show is probably the series that we've watched the most. It is the Jennifer Aniston/Steve Carell/Reese Witherspoon-led series that centers around a Today Show-like morning news program, and the behind-the-scenes goings-on when the male lead (Carell) is ousted for sexual misconduct.

The other program that we've checked out a few episodes of is Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet, a comedy that follows the developers of a highly successful video game as they try to make the game better without driving each other crazy.

But, aside from Fraggle Rock, the Apple TV+ programming that I'm most looking forward to is the upcoming Beastie Boys Story:



A live-action documentary directed by long-time friend of the band Spike Jonze that will premiere tomorrow on the streaming service.

...and you KNOW that I'll be back with a review after watching it, since I'm a life-long fan of the B-Boys.
