How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Jim Henson's underground musical: Fraggles, Doozers, Gorgs, and a human inventor in a workshop, all arguing about sharing the same world. HBO's early kids prestige, built as an international co-production that preached harmony without preaching. Catchy, strange, and gentler satire than adult TV managed the same years. The songs still convert grown-ups on contact.
