Episode 106: The Preachification of Convincing John

Mokey decides that it's wrong to eat Doozer constructions, and she tries to persuade the other Fraggles to quit the habit, even though the constructions are the Fraggles' favorite thing to eat. She goes so far as to enlist the help of Convincing John, the Fraggle who can convince anyone to do anything. When Convincing John joins Mokey's crusade, the Fraggles learn of the dangers of upsetting the balance of nature. Meanwhile, Doc tries to sew a button to a fried egg.
