Fraggle Rock is a children's live action puppet television series created by Jim Henson with the central characters being a set of "Muppet" creatures called Fraggles. Fraggle Rock was co-produced by British television company Television South, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, U.S. pay television service Home Box Office and Henson Associates. Unlike Sesame Street, which had been created for a single market and only later adapted for international markets, Fraggle Rock was intended from the start to be an international production and the whole show was constructed with this in mind.
