Davey and Goliath was the title of a 1960s
stop-motion animated television series. The programs, produced by the Lutheran
Church in America (now a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America),
were created by Art Clokey after the success of his Gumby series.
Each 15-minute episode features the adventures of
Davey Hansen and his "talking" dog Goliath (although only Davey and
the viewer can hear him speak) as they learn the love of God through everyday
occurrences. Many of the episodes also feature Davey's parents, his sister
Sally, as well as Davey's friends Jimmy and Teddy in earlier episodes,
Jonathan and Cisco on later ones (all are members of the "Jickets"
club).
While the show was aimed at a younger audience,
the series eventually dealt with serious issues, including racism, death,
religious intolerance and vandalism.
Golly Gee Daveeeee.
