>I'm pretty sure the cartoon is rather old, too. I taped it last year when >it was on TV before I even had my ferret. It might have been made (the >part with Malcolm Jamal Warner) before ferrets were widely kept as pets. I first read the book in elementary school. It was one of my personal favorites at the time! (imagine that!). The after-school special started playing when I was probably around 12 years old. I'm twenty two now, so y'all do the math. It's a little out-dated, though that's no excuse for wrong data. Please remember that the show was taken from a very cute (but wrong) children's fiction book, which was written a looong time ago. The book is very amusing to children, and was written to entertain. Just my .02 on the matter!! Karyn, owned by Sebastian and Scuttle [Posted in FML issue 1917]
