Why Davey and Goliath might be annoying:

    Davey was the only one who could hear Goliath, giving the show a Son of Sam vibe.
    Considering that in the Bible David killed Goliath, maybe the real message was that Davey should ignore his nagging conscience and just go for it.
    They whored themselves out to Mountain Dew (2001) to fund the production of their last special.

Why Davey and Goliath might not be annoying:

    The Lutheran Church provided it to stations free of charge and it aired without commercials.
    Davey's best friend, Jonathan, was black, one of the first interracial friendships in a TV series.
    It usually delivered its morals without getting heavy handed.
