David is a kind and gentle forest gnome who lives with his wife, Lisa, and has served as a doctor for the creatures of the forest for over 300 years. Other gnomes can call David using telepathy when they need his help. Being only six inches tall, he relies on his friend Swift the fox to carry him anywhere he is needed. He must be wary of the trolls however, who love to make trouble for the forest's inhabitants. Trolls are one-hundred times bigger than gnomes, but luckily they are one-thousand times stupider. The most memorable thing about this show is the way gnomes rub their noses together to show affection for one another, and the way they say farewell: Slitzweitz!
The World of David the Gnome, based on the children's books The Gnomes and The Secret of the Gnomes, first aired in the U.S. from 1987-1996 on Nickelodeon and then from 1996-1998 on The Learning Channel. The twenty-six-episode series features Happy Days' Tom Bosley as the voice of David the gnome and is narrated by Christopher Plummer of The Sound of Music and The Insider. It is a wonderful series that both children and adults will enjoy.
