* ChekhovsGun: Toward the beginning, when the Fraggle Five first appear, Wembley is playing with a yo-yo. In the Fraggles' next appearance, after the five of them have declared both the tomato sticks and the mustard sticks to be awful, Wembley notices that the yo-yo's string is still hanging from his finger, but that the rest of it is missing. Later, when Flange and Modem want "the wisest Fraggle alive" to judge the contest, Wembley enters, looking for his yo-yo, and asks the Doozers if they've seen it. Flange and Modem immediately make him the judge.

-->'''Flange:''' Modem will be just as glad as I am to get back to what we Doozers do best: building. We'll call off the contest. No winners, no losers, just Doozers once again.

I challenged her, so ''I'' should be able to withdraw the challenge. I don't want to look foolish! She'll probably just laugh at me. If that happened, I won't be able to get any Doozers to work with me again. Modem will think I'm a fool!\\
