Gerbert: Origins (Gerbert in The World Around Us)

Wait a minute, this doesn't look like the Gerbert we all know and love (?).

It's actually the pilot episode that launched Gerbert's stratospheric rise to the tip-top of Christian children's media in the late 80s, and it's maybe a bit rough around the edges.

Yes, before the strange oblong pumpkin-chicken-nugget look, Gerb was just your average bright-orange muppet-looking thing, and even in this proto-form, he's as whiny, annoying, and oddly charming as ever.

This month on Too Many Tapes, come with me on a journey into the little VHS tape that started it all: Gerbert In The World Around Us (featuring Courtney, whoever that is)...
