David the Gnome aired on Nick Jr. in the early 1990s in the U.S., though it originated as a Spanish production called David el Gnomo back in 1985. The gentle animated series followed a forest dwelling gnome doctor and his fox companion helping animals in need throughout the woods. It's had an unusual second life online in recent years after a screenshot from the show turned into a widely circulated internet meme, introducing the character to an audience who never watched the original series.
