In Poland, in the seventies and eighties, when our parents were small children, there were bedtime stories on TV every day at 7:00 p.m.

1.One of the very famous Polish cartoons made in the Drawing Film Studio in Bielsko-Biała was Reksio the dog. He lived in a doghouse and had a lot of friends from the yard. He always helped others. In his doghouse he had a bed, books, a picture, a lamp and food. Reksio had a lot of adventures and once a grasshopper came to live with him and played the violin.
