Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites). Not as good as season one. There are a few bad episodes (the ones that focus on Doozers instead of Fraggles), and not as many that stand out as exceptional. And there's very little progress made toward the over-arching plot of Everyone Learning to Get Along. But it's still Fraggle Rock, and Fraggles are the sh**.
Objective Rating:
