Plot: I love this cartoon. My sister and I used to watch it over and over on HBO in the early 80's. I was 5, she was 10 and, neither of us could believe that someone made a cartoon of our relationship. "They're just like us!" we'd say. It was nothing like other childfare of the time where the children were all well spoken and sophisticated like little adults. It was real. My sister would play know it all like the older sister because she could and, I, like Georgia, would believe everything she said because, nobody does hero worship like a younger sibling! Just like Georgia, I would get frustrated and lash out buy growling, hitting and screaming nonsense words because, I could not yet find the real words to express myself. To take the real audio (I'm assuming hidden) of children at play and just being themselves was beautiful, simplistic and, brilliant! What a wonderful keepsake for the Hubley children!
