Davey and Goliath is an American Christian clay-animated children's television series, whose central characters were created by Art Clokey, Ruth Clokey, and Dick Sutcliffe,{{cite news |first=Bruce|last=Weber|title=Dick Sutcliffe, 90, Dies; Began 'Davey and Goliath'|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/arts/design/25sutcliffe.html|work=The New York Times|date=May 25, 2008|access-date=May 25, 2008}} and which was produced first by the United Lutheran Church in America and later by the Lutheran Church in America. The show was aimed at a youth audience, and generally dealt with issues such as respect for authority, sharing, and prejudice.{{cite book |last=Davis |first=Jeffery |title=Children's Television 1947–1990 |year=1995 |isbn=0-89950-911-8 |pages=139–140|publisher=McFarland }} Eventually, these themes included serious issues such as racism, death, religious intolerance and vandalism.
Each 15-minute episode features the adventures of a boy named Davey Hansen and his "talking" dog Goliath (although only Davey and the viewer can hear him speak) as they learn the love of God through everyday occurrences. Many of the episodes also feature Davey's parents John and Elaine, and his sister Sally, as well as Davey's friends: Jimmy, Teddy, and Nathaniel in earlier episodes, and Jonathan, Nicky, and Francisco in later ones.
In general, the characters find themselves in situations that have to be overcome by placing their faith in God. While the show is explicitly faith-based, there is no content specifically about the Lutheran Church, which made broadcasters more comfortable with the idea of an overtly religious mainstream children's show.{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=236–237}} The only reference to Lutherans in the show was the theme song, an instrumental version of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", and the Luther rose displayed in the opening theme and end credits.
Following Clokey's success with the Gumby series, Davey and Goliath premiered in syndication on February 25, 1961"The News of Television", Philadelphia Daily News, February 24, 1961, p32 as a Saturday feature, and lasted until 1965. By May 1961, it was reported that "Millions of children in cities and towns across the United States and Canada are talking about two new television stars, 'Davey and Goliath'."{{"'}}Davey and Goliath' Captivates Young TV Viewers", Ithaca Journal (NY), May 27, 1961, pA-7
Davey's friends Nathaniel (in the 1960s episodes) and Jonathan (in the 1970s episodes) were some of the first black characters to appear as friends of a television show's white lead character.{{Cite news |url=https://www.today.com/popculture/davey-goliath-revived-teach-children-wbna6693668 |title=Davey & Goliath revived to teach children |date=December 13, 2004 |publisher=Today.com |agency=Associated Press}}
After its initial run, several 30-minute holiday-themed episodes were created in the late 1960s. The series then resumed with some new characters in 1971 and continued until 1973. In 1975, a final 30-minute summer episode was created. In 2004, Joe Clokey and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the successor body to the LCA, produced a new special, Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas.
History
{{more citations needed section|date=January 2019}}
= Ordering the series =
In 1958, Franklin Clark Fry, president of the United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA), put aside $1 million to fund production of a future television program for children.{{cite news|last1=Forman|first1=Bill|title=Oh Davey, Oh Goliath!|url=http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/12.14.05/davey-0550.html|access-date=March 10, 2015|work=Metro Santa Cruz|date=December 14, 2005}} Soon after, the ULCA contracted with Clokey Productions, Inc., headed by Gumby creators Art and Ruth Clokey, to create a new children’s show: Davey and Goliath.{{cite journal|last1=Miller|first1=Chuck|title=The Gospel According to Davey and Goliath|journal=Animato!|date=Summer 1996|issue=35|url=http://www.daveyandgoliath.org/cmiller.html|access-date=March 10, 2015}} Scripts were written by children’s book author Nancy Moore in consultation with the church;{{cite journal|title=Davey and Goliath|journal=Spectrum|date=1969|volume=1969|page=210|publisher=Department of Christian Life and Mission}} Moore would go on to pen several episodes of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the 1970s and early 1980s.
The ULCA and Art Clokey teamed up to make the first Davey and Goliath episode in 1960, called "Lost in a Cave", which would be the first shown in syndication in 1961. In this premiere episode, the figures were entirely clay (with some latex/rubber clothing showing visible seams) and the scenery was also mostly clay. The early voices included Hal Smith (who did a number of voices including Davey's father), Dick Beals (who was Davey's voice) and Ginny Tyler (who did the voice of Sally's and Davey's mother). These three did many other voices as well.
After making "Lost in a Cave" in 1960, Clokey made "The Wild Goat", "Stranded on an Island" and "The Winner" in early 1961. In these episodes, the clay figures were now clothed with real cloth, and more model buildings and trees were added, making the episodes look somewhat more realistic. In 1961, the series of these four episodes began airing free on local television stations nationwide, primarily Big Three (ABC, CBS and NBC) network affiliates and independent stations, as well as noncommercial educational stations. Occasionally, two or more stations in the same market aired the show, at several times. Many stations ran these episodes leading into network Saturday-morning lineups. Other stations ran them in religious Sunday-morning lineups between other evangelists' programs. By 1964, the show was airing in over 90% of U.S. television markets.
=30 minute episodes=
In 1965, Davey and Goliath returned to television when a 30-minute Christmas special called "Christmas Lost and Found" was aired.{{cite book|last1=King|first1=Kelly|title=A Comparative Analysis of Children's Cognitive and Affective Learning from Selected Bible Story Videos|date=May 2009|page=13|isbn=9781109130386|access-date=March 10, 2015|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y8itAntFrA4C&q=%22Christmas+Lost+and+Found%22+%22Davey+and+Goliath%22+1965&pg=PA13}} The episode was more overtly religious in nature and distanced itself from traditional Christmas figures such as Santa Claus and Rudolph, with religious Christmas songs included. This would also be the last episode featuring Dick Beals as the voice of Davey.
In 1967, three 30-minute holiday specials were aired: "Happy Easter" in March, "Halloween Who-Dun-It" in October, and "The New Year Promise" in December. By now, the background music changed to an unknown music library, one that was also used in the Gumby episodes produced during that time. Davey was closer to junior high-school age and was voiced by Norma MacMillan. "Happy Easter" confronted the death of a loved one, as Davey's beloved grandmother dies suddenly (off-camera) within hours of a fun-filled visit.

After an almost 30-year hiatus, Davey and Goliath were next seen as part of a Mountain Dew soda commercial in 2001,{{cite web |last1=Walker |first1=Rob |title=Ad Report Card: Sermon on the Mountain Dew |url=https://slate.com/business/2002/04/ad-report-card-sermon-on-the-mountain-dew.html |website=Slate |access-date=2020-11-06 |date=April 22, 2002}} with the royalties from the commercial used to fund the production of the 2004 Christmas special entitled Davey & Goliath's Snowboard Christmas. The holiday special addressed both religious and racial diversity as Davey demonstrates his snowboarding expertise to two friends: Sam, a Jewish boy, and Yasmeen, a Muslim girl. During the course of the show, they get caught in an avalanche and end up in a cave. Goliath goes for help while Davey and his new friends find out that they really aren't all that different. The three children wind up learning of each other's holiday celebrations: Jewish Hanukkah, Christian Christmas and Muslim Eid.{{cite book |last1=Lenburg |first1=Jeff |title=The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons |date=2009 |publisher=Checkmark Books |location=New York |isbn=978-0-8160-6600-1 |edition=3rd |page=287}}
Television airings
The program had become a fixture on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings on TV stations (both religious and secular) across the country during the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, commercial stations began gradually dropping the series. Religious stations picked it up in many markets and ran it in their blocks of Christian children's programs. By 1990, only a handful of commercial stations still aired the series.
The show continued to air on CatholicTV Network until late in 2009, on Tri-State Christian Television also until 2010 and still aired on a few local Christian television stations.
On cable, the Odyssey Network ran the entire series commercial-free from 1992 until 1999. Since the network's rebranding as the Hallmark Channel in 2001, they have only aired a few of the holiday specials with several commercial breaks, including the Snowboard Christmas special made in 2004. In 2008, iTunes began offering episodes as free downloads. By December of that year, more than 20 episodes had been made available. Nowadays, the episodes cost 99 cents each.
Until the beginning of October 2018, the series was shown on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) Saturday afternoons.{{cite web|url=http://www.tbn.org/watch-us/broadcast-schedule|title=TBN Schedule - TBN.org}} During the week, it was televised on the TBN-owned Smile of a Child network, which is carried on digital subchannels of TBN affiliates.{{cite web|url=http://www.smileofachildtv.org/watch/schedule_weekview.php|title=Smile of a Child TV // Television Program Schedule|website=www.smileofachildtv.org}}
Parodies
- He Was Once (1989) is a surrealist, live-action short film by Mary Hestand which features the characters from Davey & Goliath. The plot centers around Davey encountering a bear in the city, but when he tells his parents they do not believe him and he is punished. The short includes dream sequences of an Oedipal (though not explicit) nature and scenes of corporal punishment.{{cite news | date=October 20, 2016 | url=https://filmmakermagazine.com/100247-politics-of-style/ | title=Politics of Style: Restoring and Rediscovering Apparatus Films | work=Filmmaker Magazine | access-date=December 9, 2024 | first=Paul | last=Dallas}}
- Adult Swim's Moral Orel is a darker, adult-oriented parody of Davey and Goliath. Though it is stylistically and thematically similar, the show's creator, Dino Stamatopoulos, claims Moral Orel had its genesis as a parody of Leave It to Beaver.{{cite news | date=May 20, 2007 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/arts/television/20cran.htm | title=Holy Satire!

- MADtv spoofed Davey and Goliath in their fourteenth episode with "Davey and Son of Goliath", alluding to the Son of Sam serial killer who claimed a talking dog had instructed him to kill.{{cite web|last1=Falanga|first1=Mark|title=Remembering "Davey and Goliath"|url=http://www.breakthruradio.com/btrtoday/read/articles/sunday-david-goliath-week|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150311084147/http://www.breakthruradio.com/btrtoday/read/articles/sunday-david-goliath-week|url-status=usurped|archive-date=March 11, 2015|website=BreakThru Radio|access-date=March 10, 2015|date=February 2, 2015}}
- The Simpsons featured a short, clay-animated segment titled "Gravey and Jobriath". Gravey is portrayed as a religious extremist building a pipe bomb in order to destroy Planned Parenthood.{{cite book |last1=Dale |first1=Timothy |last2=Foy |first2=Joseph |title=Homer Simpson Marches on Washington: Dissent through American Popular Culture |year=2010 |publisher=The University Press of Kentucky |isbn=9780813125800 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iLsDCCDctL0C&dq=gravey+and+jobriath&pg=PT179 |access-date=2022-04-24}}
