A St. Patrick's Day Question!

	We recently received the following email: I saw the piece on your site and the collection on WGN Morning News today and maybe you could help me. I remember seeing a series of 30 minute long programs back in the 70s. In fact the only one I recall was one that involved a leprechaun. My question is that do you know the title of this series, and will it ever be out on DVD? Edwin Answer: Although it was a half-hour Animagic special and not a series, that can be none other than Rankin/Bass' THE LEPRECHAUN'S CHRISTMAS GOLD featuring the voice talent of Art Carney! As far as we know, it should be part of a RANKIN/BASS DVD Holiday set from WARNER BROTHERS in 2006!
