The television show formerly ran on ABC Saturday mornings from September 10, 1983 to November 2, 1985 for three seasons and 29 episodes.

Tom and Lucy Little both insist on doing good deeds for big people, including a blind woman.

An older cousin of the other Littles, he is a pilot and serves as the mail service and occasional transport for all tiny people in the area.

Usually these troubles remit directly into Grandpa Little, who loses his temper and charges into "disciplining" the unfortunate Dinky.

Portrayed as a tantrum-prone and rebellious spoiled brat, he often sabotages whatever his older cousins accomplish, only to feel bad about it when Tom and Lucy are put in danger as a result.

In the final season, Henry traveled to other parts of the world with his parents, using a specially designed carrier (a hollowed-out camera case) to take the Littles with him.

In emergencies when Tom and Lucy must contact Henry, they tie messages on Slick's back and send them to him.
