History Series / FraggleRockBackToTheRock

* CanadaEh: Like the original series, this reboot was produced on Canadian soil, albeit this time in Calgary instead of Toronto. Once again, Gobo speaks in a Canadian dialect although his performer (John Tartaglia) is American. Also, for the first time, one of the Fraggle Five (Wembley) is puppeteered and voiced by a Canadian (Jordan Lockhart, an Ottawa native). Frank Meschkuleit, puppeteer of Boober and Traveling Matt, is also from Toronto, though those characters are still voiced by native Californian Dave Goelz; Meschkuleit does perform the voice and face of Pa Gorg, though, as well as minor characters such as Large Marvin (a former Goelz character) and Manty.

** Junior Gorg's caring and considerate side is a lot more prominent here. He still chases the Fraggles, but pretty much only because his parents tell him to, and he's much more reluctant about actually hurting them.

** Mokey's the most immediately noticable, with not only her CostumeEvolution and different hairstyle, but also the fact that her colors are more vibrant and saturated. She's also a bit less airy than in the original show, which according to John Tartaglia, was specifically done to give her more contemporary appeal.

* BookEnds: In the first episode of season 2, Doc inadvertently causes disaster down in Fraggle Rock with her experiments with wind turbines. In the final season of season 2 she just as inadvertently saves the day with those same wind turbine experiments.

* TrueCompanions: The Fraggle Five, especially in the first episode. Near the start, Wembley can't make up his mind on whether to use a short, red ribbon or a long, blue ribbon as decorations for Uncle Traveling Matt's homecoming party. Wembley eventually begins wembling, and his friends' first instinct is for Gobo and Red to grab Wembley's feet and hang him upside down, while Mokey crouches down and helps Wembley with breathing. Later, when Traveling Matt concludes upon seeing Gobo's scared reaction to Sprocket that he (Gobo) isn't ready to be a brave explorer like him (leaving Gobo disappointed), Red, Wembley, Mokey and Boober are briefly seen trying to console him. Then, when Gobo decides to prove his bravery to his Uncle Matt by venturing into the Crevice of Solitude to retrieve Matt's missing backpack (an idea accidentally suggested by Red), his friends talk him into letting them come with him. At the end, their companionship is rewarded when Gobo refuses to come along with Uncle Matt into Outer Space in favor of staying in Fraggle Rock with his friends (as a compromise, Matt promises to send postcards and artifacts back to Fraggle Rock for Gobo to retrieve).

* EntertaininglyWrong: Traveling Matt, as much as ever, regarding the world of the Silly Creatures. Surprisingly often though, it leads to him giving Gobo some genuinely good advice and being RightForTheWrongReason.

A [[ChristmasSpecial holiday special]], "Night of the Lights", was released on November 18, 2022. On December 12, 2022, a second season was announced as being in production. Season 2 is set to release on March 29, 2024.

* AsHimself: The Music/FooFighters guest star as themselves. Uncle Traveling Matt sees them perform "Fraggle Rock Rock" in concert.

* DemotedToExtra: Ma and Pa Gorg don't get a whole lot of attention here, and are rarely seen leaving the castle. Pa does have a bit of plot relevance, as he's the one who orders most of the bad stuff Junior does in the series, and it's Junior finally standing up to him and disobeying his orders that proves to be the key to the final solution to everyone's problems in the season finale -- but he doesn't get much screentime and only appears in a few episodes. Ma gets even less attention; her appearances are essentially just cameos. They both get more prominent roles in season 2.
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: The Craggles all sport these to emphasize their low-energy, sleepy nature. However, in the dream world they lose this look and appear wide-eyed and energetic.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Traveling Matt, as much as ever, regarding the world of the Silly Creatures.

** Downplayed in Season 2, where Pa has a [[AscendedExtra much larger role]] and we get to see more of his redeeming qualities. He's still a major {{Jerkass}} but he is nowhere near as harsh with Junior and he shows that he does care about his family.

* DemotedToExtra: Ma and Pa Gorg don't get a whole lot of attention here, and are rarely seen leaving the castle. Pa does have a bit of plot relevance, as he's the one who orders most of the bad stuff Junior does in the series, and it's Junior finally standing up to him and disobeying his orders that proves to be the key to the final solution to everyone's problems in the season finale -- but he doesn't get much screentime and only appears in a few episodes. Ma gets even less attention; her appearances are essentially just cameos.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed with Pogey -- the other Fraggles don't seem to ''mind'' him as such but they (especially Red) tend to find his cluelessness wearisome.

* AdaptedOut: While ''most'' of the important characters from the original series make a return here, there are a few who don't. It's understandable with Cantus the Minstrel and Convincing John, since they were both Creator/JimHenson characters and Cantus especially was like an AuthorAvatar for him (a new Cantus-esque character named Jamdolin, voiced by Creator/DaveedDiggs, appears instead, with a Doozer named Jack Hammer, voiced by Creator/KenanThompson, taking the Convincing John role). Others who don't show up or even get mentioned are Cotterpin's parents Flange and Wingnut, Wander [=McMooch=], Marlon, Feenie, Rumple and Lanford.

!!Trope your cares away, down in ''Fraggle Rock''!:

* WomenAreWiser: The Wise Council has more female members than male members. [[spoiler: But it evens out when Wembley joins halfway in the first season]].

** A more vague example with Turbo Doozer, who was male in the original show, but in this show is played by non-binary actor Ali J Eisner, who gives the character a voice that sounds somewhere between female and boyish. After some confusion, Eisner confirmed in a June 2023 ''Tough Pigs'' interview that the character was written to be female, but ended up effectively non-binary in practice, as the crew basically started referring to them by every pronoun after Ali was cast. Said interview confirms that the new version of Balsam of the Troubadours is non-binary as well, if pronouns used for the character in the article are any indication.

** A more vague example with Turbo Doozer, who was male in the original show, but in this show is played by non-binary actor Ali J Eisner, who gives the character a voice that sounds somewhere between female and boyish. It's possible Turbo's supposed to be female, or non-binary, but nothing's confirmed.

* SharedDream: The series gives this ability and the song to the separate-but-very-similar craggle species instead of the Fraggles. Craggles spend more time sharing their dreams while asleep than being awake, and in said dreams are far more energetic than their sleepy awakened selves.

* MistakenForCouple: Jamdolin mistakes Boober and Mokey for a couple when he sees the two embracing and Mokey leaning her head on Boober's shoulder after his New Day's Day address.
