(Newser) Fraggle Rock has been off the air for 25 years, but part of its cave-dwelling cast is about to return to television, reports io9. Titled The Doozers, the new show will feature the hardworking eponymous creatures who built delicious structures (out of a construction material made from radishes) in the original series, possibly with an emphasis on their eco-friendly ways. But Muppet lovers should brace themselves, reports io9, as the Jim Henson Company is teaming up with DHX Media's CGI animation studio, meaning the show won't actually feature puppets.

I have been waiting 25 years for this day!!! I never liked the rest of the show particularly (except the theme song of course) and just tuned in for the doozers.
