At first, I just watched D&G because it was one of the only children's programs to watch on Sunday. I also loved the herald trumpeters playing "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" before every episode. This was before American Christianity had been so befouled by right-wing hate and provincialism, so the episodes usually had a pretty progressive message.
