I'm never quite sure what to make of shows that try to re-create the schmaltz of the late '60's and early '70's kids shows like the Banana Splits and any thing by Syd & Marty Kroft. But this show just doesn't make any sense and every time I see it, I always come away thinking two things - (1) what the heck was that? and (2) there's a 1/2 hour of my life I'll never get back. I don't let my 2 1/2 year old twins watch this because it is just plain out there. And I also noticed that this show was nominated for outstanding costume design. How in the world does that happen? A dude in an orange jumpsuit and shag orange wig orchestrating the actions of four (and sometimes more) characters in bad high-school play caliber costumes is considered outstanding? You have GOT to be kidding me. Do yourself - and more importantly your kids - a favor and skip this show if it's on. Put on re-runs of Little House on the Prairie or something else.
