Series Run
The show ran from 1996 to 1998. There were 22 episodes produced in two batches. 13 episodes were ordered by ABC, though only ten of them were run in the 1995-96 TV season. The program was then purchased by the Disney Channel, which ordered a further nine episodes and aired these along with the three episodes ABC did not air, in the 1997-98 season. One of the nine newly-produced episodes was a clip show compilation culled from the earlier episodes.
In the United Kingdom 13 episodes of the show was transmitted at 7pm on Friday evenings on BBC1 from September - December 1996. The remaining 9 episodes have not been shown in the UK.
In Ireland the show was broadcast on TG4, eventually being dubbed into Irish.

—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
As shallow streams run dimpling all the way.”
