Superbook is an American Christian children's animated television series that originally aired from 1981 to 1983 on The Christian Broadcasting Network. The show was created by Dr. Pat Robertson as a way to teach children about biblical stories and values. The show follows the adventures of two children, Chris and Joy, and their robot friend, Gizmo, as they travel back in time to witness various biblical events firsthand.

The show's main character, Chris, is a typical American boy who is curious about the world around him. His friend, Joy, is a strong-willed girl who often takes charge of the group's adventures. Together, they are transported back in time by the Superbook, a magical book that can take them anywhere in time and space. They are accompanied on their journeys by Gizmo, a helpful robot who provides comic relief and assists the children in their adventures.

Each episode of Superbook features a different biblical story, such as the story of Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Moses and the Ten Commandments, or the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The stories are retold in a way that is easy for children to understand, with colorful animation and engaging dialogue. The show emphasizes the importance of faith, forgiveness, and courage in the face of adversity.

Throughout their adventures, Chris, Joy, and Gizmo encounter a variety of historical and mythical characters, from ancient Egyptians and Greeks to giants and dragons. They face challenges and obstacles, but always manage to overcome them through faith and determination. The show includes plenty of action and suspense, making it an exciting watch for children and adults alike.

Superbook was praised for its educational value and quality animation. The show's creative team included some of the most talented animators and voice actors of the time, including Billie Lou Watt, Ray Owens, and Sonia Owens. The show's themes of faith, morality, and ethics made it a hit with parents and educators, who appreciated its positive messages for children.

In addition to the original series, Superbook has been adapted into several different formats over the years, including a video game, a new animated series, and even a live-action film. However, the original series remains a beloved classic that holds a special place in the hearts of many viewers.

In conclusion, Superbook is a timeless classic that has entertained and educated generations of children. Its engaging characters, exciting adventures, and positive messages continue to resonate with viewers today. Whether you're a fan of biblical stories or just looking for a fun and educational show to watch with your children, Superbook is well worth checking out.
