Nobody talks about this one. A rich kid and his servant living in absurd poverty, the premise alone is the joke, and the show milks it for 164 episodes without ever running dry. Every episode is a self-contained gag machine built on character chemistry so natural you forget you're watching a 1989 kids' show that somehow never got tired of itself.
