The Littles lasted just three seasons on ABC (1983-6), but it was also the network's answer to Fat Albert over on CBS, which was in its final network season when The Littles arrived, in that there were episodes that taught kids about common dangers, including drugs.
In "Prescription For Disaster", Grandpa (Alvy Moore, ex-Green Acres) takes Dinky, Tom, & Lucy to visit some relatives who live within the walls of a home where a single mother, a drug addict, is trying to raise her daughter. Dimwitted Dinky ends up in some trouble, but not quite like the trap Lucy ends up in. Henry Bigg & his family do not appear in this episode.
To think that the show's head writer, Jeffrey Scott, was also in that same role on Super Friends, which was on hiatus when the season began.
Rating: A.
