It came on TV around '89-'91...around 1 in the 
afternoon because I remember the height of our 
day in the summertime was watching it while 
eating our fishsticks and tater tots for lunch. 
Here are the many things I remember (although 
this show hasn't been mentioned by anyone else 
online)...

Main characters
Lila Bit...a little girl. She had a pet flying 
squirrel who was her main transportation 
^^...forgot its name. She lived with her uncle 
who was a doctor and always looked drunk because 
he had a big red nose. I believe she was an orphan

Uhm...I forget everyone else's name, but there 
was a boy who was also a main character, 
obviously he and Lila Bit were "involved" 
somehow. He also had a pet familiar...a rat or 
chipmunk or something I think. He was always 
hanging out with these other guys his age

Old Sage-type bit...this guy hung out around this 
old castle type building that everyone seemed to 
be in awe of. I think it had the little Shinto 
paper charms all over it, and they had a picture 
of it in the ending credits each time. One 
episode revolved around the main guy and his 
friends trying to find some herb to save Lila Bit 
because her dad had to have it to cure her from a 
sickness, or something. The door would open once 
every year and close at sunset I think, and I was 
REALLY scared they'd get trapped in there...it 
was like a dark scary cave on the inside.

Once they went on a quest of some other sort and 
befriended some deer I believe.

Another episode talked about their origins as 
nomadic type elves...

The opening theme went something like "It's the 
L'il Bits! It's the L'il Bits!" I probably have 
some of it taped somewhere in this house... 
anyhow, that's all I can remember. The Saban logo 
showed up at the end of every episode.
