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.
There's a Muppet reference in this episode -- 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.
