Years ago I remember a show about this....um....midget that was a magician. There weren't too many episodes of it but it was pretty good. There was only one show that I can recall. He was trying to help this orphan kid by making him popular and used his magic and illusions so kids would like him and he could make some friends.

Can't remember to much more about it but if anyone remembers what the name was or just remembers the show at all let me know. It's one of those things that bugs me that I can't remember it.

Yeah, that rocked. The only thing I remember from it was some gadget that used a laser and it could write in the air.

Thanks

Had a brain fart on the IMDB. Seems to lack any cool info about the show though.

It's amazing how I remember enjoying this show a whole lot but can barely remember anything about it. I too remember the laser pen thing.

Wow I think I liked this show also but swear I never saw it in my life. Didn't the midget have some kind of candy fixation were he had like a closet filled with candy. Or maybe I just dreamed that.

I was in New York before the 1986 TV season started and I was approached by someone from CBS who convinced me to be part of a test audience for this show. I saw two episodes, which was twice as bad as seeing one, and I gave it a very negative review. I thought it stunk and never watched it when it was broadcast. According to IMDb it lasted only 19 episodes. I like to think I played a small part in the failure of this turkey.
