How many episodes were there of this programme? I remember an episode with a little girl in the background playing with toys in like a doctors office? Does that ring a bell for anyone?

Where is this House? I remember this programme. I use to watch it when I was 15 back in the 80s. I got hooked on it because they use to play a lot of Herbs songs on it. Should play the whole series on tv again. It's not fair to have to watch friends episodes over and over again for the umpteenth time or Shortland St replays. You can't escape Shorty st if you tried because they play it morning night and weekends omnibus. Play Open House instead and let NZ watch some real kiwis that they can relate too. And where bouts is this House David? I want a photo lol
