Ep 7. I Want To Be You

In the seventh episode of Fraggle Rock season 1, titled "I Want To Be You," the beloved group of Fraggles embarks on another adventure as they try to understand the perspective of each other. The episode begins with Gobo and Red having an argument over a game they were playing, where they both wanted to be each other. However, after a while, they decide to swap places for a day to see each other's viewpoint and learn from it.

As the day goes by, Gobo and Red go through a series of experiences and interactions that they would not have had otherwise. For instance, Gobo sees the danger in being a leader as Red often has to deal with the responsibilities that came along his position. On the other hand, Red realizes how challenging it is to be an explorer as he would be left behind by his fellow Fraggles and have to navigate through unfamiliar tunnels.

Meanwhile, the other Fraggles are also having their share of experiences. Mokey and Boober switch places, and Boober learns to see Mokey's creative side while Mokey navigates Boober's meticulous approach to things. Wembley and Uncle Traveling Matt also have an exciting day as they share each other's perspectives.

One of the most memorable moments of the episode is when Gobo, in Red's body, has to face the challenging situation of waking up early to gather food for the rest of the Fraggles. Despite the obstacles he faces, he manages to succeed, which gives him a new respect for Red's efforts.

Throughout the episode, there are also appearances from the show's other characters, such as Sprocket (the dog), Marjory The Trash Heap, and the Doozers. Each character provides a unique perspective on the episode's theme of understanding each other's viewpoint.

In typical Fraggle Rock fashion, the episode is filled with catchy songs and playful humor. The music is composed by Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee, and the songs are sung by the talented cast of Fraggles. The visuals are also impressive, with colorful and imaginative backgrounds that transport the audience to the magical world of Fraggle Rock.

Overall, "I Want To Be You" is a heartwarming episode that teaches the importance of empathy and understanding. Through the Fraggles' experiences, the audience learns to appreciate different perspectives and acknowledge the hard work that each character puts in. The episode instills positive values and is a joy to watch for all ages.
