Episode 213: Red's Club

Fraggle Rock
Air Date	March 26, 1984
Written by	Jocelyn Stevenson
Director	Eric Till

Gobo: We've just gotta figure out some way to help Red.
Wembley: Why, does Red need help?
Gobo: She was talking to a basket when I last saw her.

Red wants to be a leader, so she starts a Helping Club -- but when Gobo is elected the leader of the club, Red storms off and creates another. She makes up a lot of strict rules for her club and ends up excluding everyone -- except her one member, Cotterpin Doozer.

Supporting Cast

• Cotterpin Doozer (Kathy Mullen)
• Architect Doozer (Jerry Nelson)

Songs

• "One and One (I'm the One That Won)"
• "The Rules Song (I'm the Leader Now)"

Fraggle Facts

• The Doozers don't know who the Gorgs are. They "mine" their radishes from underground, so they never see the Gorgs in their garden. So far in the series, Doozers and Gorgs haven't mixed, and Cotterpin has never even heard of Gorgs.

Notes

• This episode is another element int the move to develop the Doozers this season. Last season, Doozers didn't talk to Fraggles, but now Cotterpin is presented as part of the landscape, a friendly Doozer who can interact with the Fraggles.

• When Doc and Sprocket plan the rules for Sprocket's dog club, Doc says: "First rule of your club is no dogs that yap. That automatically eliminates Fred, Ginger, Angel, Mortimer, Mugsy, Rowlf..." Sprocket is very upset that Rowlf is excluded.

International Versions

UK: The Captain tries to form a birdwatchers' club, but only Sprocket will join. Uncle Matt discovers a way to control a species of big yellow creatures: just yell "Taxi!" and they'll stop.
