I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series growing up. It was one that if I was going to miss it, I'd set the record timer so that I'd have it. My mom new better than to interrupt me while this show was playing. Besides the fact that Andrew Bednarski was a heart throb of his time, the show dealt with a lot of great family oriented topics. It was moralistic, enthusiastic and dealt with everyday issues. I was surprised to find it on TV in Canada 7 years ago while driving through, but have never found it on re-runs in the U.S. With all the shows of the past hitting the tube, I think that this one should make that list as well. You can't even find anything on Ebay for it, it is almost like it never really existed...just dropped off the planet.

SEND THIS SHOW BACK INTO SYNDICATION, you'd be doing families a favor, what with all the immoralistic shows out there for our kids to watch, it would be nice to have a show with values to watch.
