I grew up with Davey and Goliath. These rare and timeless classics can be watched over and over without tiring.
I recall as a child how real and intense some of the episodes were. If you are looking for amazing computer generated graphics, these are not for you. What you will find are quick 14 minute episodes. The specials are almost 30 minutes each. Each episode has a theme, or should I say a Christian based theme and at times is so subtle it will not overshadow the simplicity and joy of the episode.
In today's world of being politically correct, some episodes are either not available or very hard to find, either on DVD or on TV. It is interesting to look back when they were created during the 60's and 70's to see how society looked at life. I think we have taken the term "Politically Correct" too far today.
In September of 2007 (Latest news as of this post), some of these "politically incorrect" episodes are making their way to DVD. I say it is about time. Rather than look at who might be offended, we should look at the message being conveyed. Each episode is about God and love. Issues include, leaving a child alone in the home, blindness, deafness, respect for the police, stealing, honesty, trust, cheating in school, boy without a father and so on.
There is nothing else that compares to Davey and Goliath. 10 out of 10!
