This post is part of the Little Jack’s Corner “Child of the 80s Flashback” post series. Each post in the series features great television for kids that was shown in the 1980s (when I was a child). Featured shows come from a variety of stations, including PBS, Nickelodeon, and Disney. Be sure to come back tomorrow night at 8 pm for another episode of great ’80s television nostalgia!
Today’s show, David the Gnome, always made me very emotional. I’m not sure why? Perhaps because of the themes they dealt with, the vibrant colors use, the beautiful music, and the escape into fantasy land that it provided. It was a great show, with David being voiced by Happy Day’s Tom Bosley. The series finale was a huge emotional twist and dealt with the closing in a way that probably no other show has probably ever done before. It aired on Nickelodeon.
