Huckleberry Finn and His Friends

I loved this TV series, it made me a fan of both books "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". Because of this show, I read the books for the very first time in my life and enjoyed them too. I thought Ian Tracey's acting in it was SUPERB, he played a likeable older version of Huckleberry.

The theme song will always be in my mind as well.

Makes me wanna go back to those days and re-live them.

Cool that it was filmed in Canada (where I'm from as well).

Hope this review helps.

I remember watching this series through about twice on the BBC when I was a kid in England. Wish I could get it all on video!!

I thought it was a great adaptation. Indian Jo and Pappy were such meanies!!!

Don't know why they don't show it on tv now for kids. I remember in 1985 i used to get up and have breakfast then run into the living room to watch it. It was on everyday for 6 weeks at 9-30 am every weekday mourning during the summer school holidays along with other programmes such as "silas" and "jack holburn" all 3 of these programmes where producted by a west german companies, but they were all good. The BBC or ITV should show them again, I remember the first time we see tom sawyer in the Huck Finn programmes whit washing aunt polly's fence, class.

I used to come home from school on my lunch hour just to watch that show. It brings back memories just thinking about that time... I hope they show it again soon on tv. The only flaw would probably be that it didn't run long enough.

The timelessness of this show is evidenced by my 7 & 14 - they of the YouTube, Xbox and iPad generation, being hooked on a 39 year old show.

It is a nostalgic show for me, I watched it as I grew up in the 80s, and they'll see the nostalgia in another 30 years.

If you haven't seen the show, get hold of it, watch the first three episodes and you'll be hooked
