I saw the last 15 minutes of one of the episodes of this show and I really liked it. The episode I saw was about a boy who helped homeless people. I decided to find out about this show and now I know that there are more episodes. This show comes on HBO and I can't wait to see some of the other episodes that I have heard about. This show came on when I was little and I didn't get to see it when it first aired but I hope that these repeats on HBO will keep on airing.moreless
