The animated Fraggle Rock series was aired for one season on NBC's Saturday morning lineup in 1987.

...and not in the UK.

And don't you just miss the old-school way of cartoon animation - they all had that artful and detailed Disney feel about them. Nowadays all cartoons look like Manga and drawn in abstract ways - all very disturbing for children in my opinion.
