Under the Umbrella Tree

I was in Wal-Mart today, looking for a plant to go in my room. I came across a dwarf umbrella tree plant, and I was immediately flooded with memories of the TV show "Under the Umbrella Tree." As I stood there in the aisle, reminiscing about my former childhood days, I felt a certain kinship to the plant and of course ultimately selected it for my home. I have named the tree Gloria, in honor of the gopher that lived underneath the umbrella tree. This was such a great show to watch when I was younger, and I am in full agreement that it should be brought back for today's children (and children at heart) to enjoy! P.S. Gloria looks great by the window in my room! : )moreless

Ok first Gloria is a gopher not a groung hog, the lizard and blue jay have names ok the lizard\'s name is Iggy and the blue jay\'s name is Jacob. It is a great show and I love it. I\'m 12 and i still watch tapes!!! So please get your facts straight!!! Thank you..

This was one of my favorite childhood shows. Good morals- one episode they talked about telling lies. Another episode, lizzard didn\'t like that fact that his bed wasn\'t private on the bookself so he tried living in the bathtub, that didn\'t work because people always wanted to use it.

When I was growing up this show made me laugh and although I don't remeber much about it I do remeber the lessons I learned such as how water can go over the top of the cup but just barley and never to dress up like hamburgers and french frys and a diet party. It made me laugh and learn which is what a childrens show should do!

Hi! I'm Laura! As a little girl I used to watch this show all the time. I absolutely loved it! I learned alot from this show! I especially remember the episode where Jacob Bluejay learned about the keyboard on a type writer and thought whoever invented it didn't know their alphabet, or the episode about Gloria Gopher when she was sick and had the chicken pox. I think it definitely should be brought back. It was a wonderful show and frankly the kids shows they have now are simply appalling. I see the shows my little cousins and siblings watch and it is unbelievable how full of violence and poor examples they are filled with. Children imitate what they experience, see and hear. Those shows have no educational value and they don't have any life lessons like manners and kindness.
