One of a three-part kidvid series aimed at 8- to 13-year-olds, using a question-answer format in which children address children’s concerns. The show is based on an advice column in the Bob’s Big Boy restaurant 30-year-old comic/activity book, created by Gwyn and Manfred Bernhard, who co-produce this series. Gwyn hosts the program, rushing through kids’ letters about moving to a new city, being made fun of, making friends. Few definitive answers are offered. A glib chat with a family counselor and “on location” interviews round out this slapdash half-hour.
