Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreGrowing up, I have nothing but fond memories of this series. It was on early mornings every Saturday and occasionally, Sunday, too! Now, while this series was produced through the Luthern Church, I never remember feeling like any episode was 'preachy'. I was having too much fun watching Davey, Goliath and family and friends do things we all did, as kids.I'm thrilled to see some of the episodes are available on DVD. I especially love the Christmas episode, but they are all worth watching, especially if you have fond memories of this series from your childhood.
... View MoreI 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!
... View MoreIt aired as a segment of the children's show "Boomtown" in the Boston area. Boomtown was hosted by Rex Trailer, and he sang (and played guitar) for his own special intro to Davey And Goliath. I still remember the words:This is the story of The Lord This is the story of The Lord The way they tell it may be new But every word is true This is the story of The LordImagine a children's show host getting away with that in today's world!I'm happy to report that those of you who subscribe to Comcast Cable in the Boston area can find the show playing occasionally on the Boston Catholic Television Channel, which is also known as the Religious Channel, usually Channel 56 on the listings.
... View MoreThis show brings back nice memories of childhood. It deals with moral issues without being doophy. I believe it would hold up today. I would love to see a modern day version of Davey & Goliath. It would be interesting to see a show with maybe Davey as an adult dealing with his children.
