RADICAL, DUDE :
Do the Dew, Davey : Davey and Goliath creators say the only way to bring the show back is through merchandising and endorsements. (Ted Olsen, Christianity Today, June 10, 2002)Long before Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato, animated moralizing was left to young Davey and his talking dog, Goliath. Now the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's show, which originally aired from 1962 to 1977, is staging an unlikely comeback. But before the duo can go back to teaching about loving your neighbor, they are promoting the elixir known as Mountain Dew. [...] The 26 new episodes will begin early next year.
Sunday mornings used to be primo TV watching :
Sunrise Semester
Agriculture Today
Davey & Goliath
Wonderama
(Dash out to church to watch Dad's sermon--then home in time for : )
Roller Derby

Then outside to play the rest of the day.
Does life get any better?
