The World of David the Gnome - Episode 11 - Young Dr. Gnome (Restored)

David's nephew Jonathan is coming to visit. Jonathan is a city gnome and his parents want him to be a doctor, but he doesn't want to. On the way to David's house, Jonathan meets a mischievous gnome named Martin, who asks the boy what's wrong. When Jonathan tells him, Martin starts telling a rumor that David is sick and Jonathan is taking his place. The word spreads fast, and soon the other gnomes show up at David's house, asking Lisa if David is sick. She tells them no. The gnomes all share stories about how David helped them in the past, and Jonathan decides he wants to be a doctor after all. Soon David returns home from letting a rabbit out of a trap. The gnomes are all celebrating when they hear a gunshot. They rush outside and learn that a little deer has been shot. While David goes to help the deer, the other gnomes try to scare off the hunter and his dog. Jonathan throws a rock at the dog, and the other gnomes trip the hunter with a rope. The hunter takes off running, but the dog comes back. David uses magic to scare off the dog for good. Once David removes the bullet from the deer, he sees the other gnomes with the hunter's gun. He sees they will bury the gun so they won't have to think of this bad time.

I absolutely loved this show as a kid. Loved Nick Jr. Precious memories of my childhood ❤

[@JARedwolf100]

Basically the message was talking against trophy poachers and thrill hunters rather then genuine hunters. A hunter with any sense of honor wouldn't hunt a fawn, not unless he was close to death and desperately starving, but that wasn't the case in this.

My childhood omg ❤❤❤ I always come back to watch episodes when I don't feel well...makes me feel better...one of my fav childhood shows.

[@LchanOtakudom]

I remember seeing this on Nick Jr. back in the day. I was so worried about the little fawn, I refused to eat lunch until the episode was over!

[@joshuamartindale868]

I used to watch this on Nick Jr. when I was a kid! I'm so glad the complete series is available again for free on KZbin. Now I can share this with my 2 year old daughter! 😊

[@Aleon7291]

Thank you 👍😎😊

[@suecurtis8313]

love this show ever sue!

[@suecurtis8313]

it is the best show sue!

[@RedRobertify]

Hunter trips, and that scares him off...

[@AxelXGabriel]

"David casts Color Spray!"

[@jessicaknowlton7809]

10:40 Other gnome sounds and looks like David.

[@readerscout4069]

I love it!

[@jessicaknowlton7809]

10:45 Gnome sounds like David (Tom Bosley)

[@1980LynLyn]

Um Ok you do know Tom Bosley starred in this show as David? You must very young not to realize this by now! RIP Tom Bosley thanks for the memories you brought for me from this show and of course happy days!

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

@@1980LynLyn I think that the point was that the gnome sounded like David, but apparently wasn't David (who had not arrived until after that next story was told IF I remember correctly).

[@nomadcowatbk]

what kind of doctor is David? he treats gnomes, animals, and humans, he also does chiropractic and dental work and prescribes window cleaner for kidney stones

[@ilikethecokev2]

A Gnome doctor. They specialize in all practices.

[@hellsunicorn]

He also has magical powers that can ward off hunting dogs. It’s called fantasy. 😛

[@andrewcolinwilson1]

What caused Ingrid's toothache? Was it a wisdom tooth or a cavity?

[@samanthadean1083]

I suspect it was a cavity, since David said it was the third molar. Wisdom teeth are at the very back of your jaw, so he’d have to use a scalpel to get them out.

[@nomadcowatbk]

there's a gnome med school?

[@SukiNoKoe]

BLOOD in a kids' show!? Is this why Nick jr. cut this one? lol

[@hellsunicorn]

Most likely, I saw this one on a VHS my parents rented when I was 7. Back in the 80s most kids could deal with more than today ‘s kids. Between The Goonies and Cloak And Dagger, there was plenty of stuff in the PG rating that was available to us that stretched the boundaries considerably. lol

[@SukiNoKoe]

@@hellsunicorn the 80s was the best, man 🤣

[@nomadcowatbk]

window cleaner for kidney stores?

[@joeywomer]

*pauses at **20:25* That’s a mongoose.

[@nomadcowatbk]

Nickelodeon never ran this ep

[@nomadcowatbk]

they still ran the promo for it at the end of another ep

[@starhedgehog]

I do remember seeing this episode on Nickelodeon when it aired. The deer scene is one part I never forgot.

[@nomadcowatbk]

@@starhedgehog I never saw it on Nick Jr, even though they still ran previews for it

[@hellsunicorn]

@@nomadcowatbkI think it ran one time and was then pulled, probably because of the blood from the wounded fawn. I only saw it because it was available on VHS and my folks bought it for me.

[@LogoMan7777]

I fear the reputation of this show will be tarnished because of Harvey Weinstein's recent scandals.

[@LchanOtakudom]

Greg Palmer I don’t think you need to worry. Just because his name is in the credits, that shouldn’t deter from the charm, quality and love this series was given by its original creators. I’m very biased, as I love this show (have ever since I was little back in the 80s and 90s), but I hope that seeing other comments on these videos as well as thinking of the original creators and the teams behind the scenes helps to put you at ease, my friend. Sorry for the lengthy reply!

[@maleighlovesbroadway]

I apply this to A LOT of shows and movies. Love the show, dislike the people behind it

[@joshuamartindale868]

The Weinsteins and their Miramax studio along with the Canadian studio Cinar just dubbed the show in English. They had no involvement with the original Spanish TV show.

[@TheSkipper1921]

Hunters DON'T shoot baby deer.

[@chistinelane]

+Tony Dadon quit the bullshit. they do and i've seen it. also, they leave many fawns motherless.

[@TheSkipper1921]

chistine lane HUNTERS don't shoot baby deer. It's Illegal POACHERS will and I don't speak for them. NO hunter leaves a fawn Motherless because hunting season is in the fall and baby Fawns are born in March or April. Making them 8-9 months old and Adults when deer season opens. But like I said Poachers will shoot at anything that moves.Stopping hunting will never get rid of them no mater what you do.

[@chistinelane]

nice "no true scottsman" fallacy. and banning hunting might not stop poaching, but it will stop many many other problems

[@TheSkipper1921]

chistine lane When did I say anything about a Scottsman? I don't know where YOU live. you could be in Mongolia for all I know, but in the US stopping hunting will not do anything except ruin conservation. It's HUNTERS and Licences FEES that do more for wildlife than any Governmental program or public agency.

[@chistinelane]

Tony Dadon "When did I say anything about a Scottsman?" im laughing so hard i cant breathe. surely you cant be serious
