A young boy named Spunky (voiced by Joan Gardner) and his come-to-life teddy bear, Tadpole (voiced originally by Don Messick and then by the show’s producer, Ed Janis) shared amazing adventures as they became involved with – and attempted to overcome – all manner of improbable situations.
The short serialised segments (usually ten per story) also spoofed old movies and TV shows of the era.
Despite a meagre budget and rudimentary animation, the production values were quite good, and the producers (Beverly Hill Productions) had the foresight to tape the show in colour.
