Printed during the 17th week of 2005. This Canadian-American animated co-production centered on two ordinary kids who find a dragon scale and socialize with their five dragon friends. In between two stories there would be a brief musical segment. The program was one of the few from the TV arm of a major Hollywood studio (in this case, Columbia TriStar Television) to have aired on PBS' children's program block (the others were the Disney production of BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY and Universal's CURIOUS GEORGE). It premiered on September 6, 1999 over many PBS member stations and completed its run on them on November 25, 2005. It continued to run on the network (as well as PBS Kids Sprout, known today as Universal Kids) until the end of August 2010.

COMMENT: This tape is damaged at certain spots, particularly at the beginning. They are detailed in small sentences during the discussion of the tape's program section. I wrote them by watching few-second bits during portions of this video, so the description may not provide an accurate description of the damage on the tape.
RECOLLECTIONS: I lost this tape in around March or April 2017, which was sometime after I did the opening (and it was just that). Or so I thought. The tape hid in one of the bookshelves where I would store my 20th Century Fox tapes. I dug it out of there this month, and this is the result of my doing so.
