Ramona (TV series)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A 1988 televison adaptation of the Ramona Quimby series of books by Beverly Cleary. It only lasted 10 episodes and has yet to be released on DVD. Like the more recent movie it uses various events from the books (especially Ramona Quimby, Age 8) but makes them all take place within the same year.


Tropes used in Ramona (TV series) include:
  • Canada Does Not Exist
  • Compressed Adaptation: While it's mostly based on one book, it does use events from other books in the Ramona series.
  • Dawson Casting: Surprisingly averted. She's actually played by an 8-year-old, and the series is set in third grade.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Due to a combination of not being particularly well known and the distribution rights being passed around like a hot potato, the series has not been released on DVD.
