The episode that was screened was "The Wedding that Almost Wasn't." Originally airing February 8th, 1988, the episode features exciting elements like: lectures on gnome wedding culture, Bannon-esque trolls, dancing rabbits, and the seductive description of a gnome Honeymoon!

Finding out David the Gnome was voiced by Tom Bosley blew my freaking mind.

2025-01-22 14:55:56 +0000 UTCI think I only loved the theme song. One of the greatest of all time. The 80s and up to the mid 90s we're great for ridiculously, over sung kid show theme songs

2018-01-02 13:37:20 +0000 UTCLoved this ep! I adored this show as a child; I was probably 5 or 6 when I watched it. I cried and cried and cried when I saw the final episode. I think my mom might have called Nickelodeon and complained. While I've met people over the years who knew this show, no one else remembered the finale and I began to worry I imagined it. I was so happy to hear Andrew talk about it.

2017-02-22 22:11:30 +0000 UTCI have to admit, before your mail-bag clarification, I innocently thought that a "tall glass of water" was a drink, as if you needed to be coy about alcohol. Now I can listen to your back catalog and discover what dirty, corrupt sinners you are.

2017-02-20 15:39:31 +0000 UTCI actually inherited the children's book(English edition)from my Grandma. Beautiful art. I also second Father Dowling Mysteries. I watched a shit-ton of it growing up.
