In with the 80's Wednesday...
I loved (and still do) tv when I was a kid - it practically raised me. One of my favorite shows was My Little Pony 'n Friends from the mid-80's. I never actually had a My Little Pony but the show was so bright and magical *sigh - ponies*.
It got me thinking that I remember a super-duper show that came on after My Little Pony 'n Friends, I must have been around 9-ish.
It took we quite awhile to figure out just what that show was - something to do with Glow Worms. I was fortunate enough to have one Glow Friend:
Glo Butterfly carries a magic wand. She believes that she can do magic tricks, although she actually can't.
She was made out of plastic and you stuck her on your finger.After going to Wikipedia.com I was able to come up with the following information about Glo Friends, the tv series!!!
Glo Friends was also a TV Show based on the Glo Friends´toy-line, originally aired in 1986 as a segment of My Little Pony 'n Friends, that only lasted one season (26 segments were made in total). The show was made by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions. It featured the Glo Friends as a community of small insects that live in a magical place located in the middle of the forest called Glo Land, where they build their homes and they stock the Moondrops in the Glo Pond, the substance that makes them able to glow in the dark and live.
The main villain in the TV series was Starnose, leader of the Moligans, a group of mole-like creatures that were fired of their homekingdom (called Moleslavia) by their King. Since that moment, the Moligans look for gold and fortune, living in underground tunnels. According to the Glo Friends released books (such as the Ladybird ones, see above), they are short-sighted, and because of that, they want to use the Glo Friends as slaves and lanterns to find the gold of their mines.
It was only on for one season!!?? I need to get my hands ON that :D
