I did more searching, and found out it was The Noddy Shop, but I don't see David Krumholtz or his look-alike. It is the show, because I remember Sean Mc Cann being in it, but it's not the way I remember it.

Does anyone know the name of the kid's TV show that had an elf living on a bookshelf? One of the main characters was an old grandfatherly man who was very soft-spoken and gentle. The show had children's level mysteries and personal setbacks, etc., which the elf would solve by the end of the show.
The actor who played the elf looked *exactly* like David Krumholtz, but I see no mention of such a show on his IM Db profile.
Thanks.
