Miserable Blue Vermin

The Smurfs Saturday morning tv show lasted 9 seasons, from 1981 to 1989. The show aired on NBC. The show featured the voice talents of Don Messick, Danny Goldman, Lucille Bliss and June Foray. Just to name a few. The show was adapted from characters created by Peyo. From a comic strip and subsequent books.
But these are all facts about the show's creators and the world in which the creators lived.
That is not the intention of this book.
Have you ever wondered how many times the Smurfs used the word "Smurf" to replace another word? How many episodes did Papa Smurf appear in compared to Jokey? When did Bigmouth make his debut? And did you know Smurfette cursed? Well, she did. Not quite on the level that Porky Pig did in that infamous cartoon of him hitting his hand, but still in her Smurfy way she did.
