In reference to my final analysis of Tomes and Talismans:

I have just now remembered the Economics-based educational series from about the same period. The one I mentioned not remembering aside from the fact that I didn't like it. It was called -- I swear I am not making this up -- "Econ and Me". It involved some kids and their magical imaginary friend Econ, who taught them about economics. And the theme song buggers the imagination (I realize that the expression is "beggars the imagination". You haven't heard this theme song. It is running through my head right now, sodomizing my corpus callosum). The refrain went something like "Econ! Let me tell ya 'bout Econ! Econ! And Me!"

This show was apparently so worthless that even YouTube has the good taste not to contain copies of it.

Which is a good thing, because I'd probably be strangely compelled to watch and recap it.
