Quotes:

[first lines]
Daggett:I can't believe it, Norbert.
Norbert:Whassat, Daggett?
Daggett:Our own parents kicked us out.
Norbert:They didn't kick us out. We were the first litter and Mom had a second litter. It's the beaver way.
Daggett:But, Norb. Where will we go? How will we survive?
Norbert:We'll be all right. You've got your Beaver Survival Kit, right?
Daggett:No.
Norbert:Oh, that's not good.
[Dag starts whimpering]

This is one of the funniest cartoons on television!!!!

The first time I saw this I knew it was an original, I mean, how tv shows do you know that tell the hilarious adventures of two brother beavers roughing it after leaving home.

Daggett is a funny but some what accident prone beaver who usually is the cause of most of the problems they encounter, and Norbert is the quick-witted slightly older brother who gets taken along on the ride.

A classic odd-couple television show for 8 month olds to 80 year olds!!!
