Yeah I remembered this show. I have only vague memories of it, but I will always remember Swift. I liked him a lot.

Then again, foxes make anything cool.

I didn't grow up with this show, but I watched some of it on Youtube... and thought it was the best show ever. It had a fox (foxes are awesome), and it was about animals and nature, which interests me. I pretty much want to see all the other old school Nick Jr cartoons like Little Prince and Littl' Bits, 'cause old school cartoons are awesome:)

I know this is said, but I even had the book of the Gnomes collection book thingies. Each week you collect a new Gnome and the books made a picture when you put the all together. I thought it rocked!
