As the summary goes, this centers on a puppet named Marcy and a club house she made with her friends to discuss the gospel and how to share God's love.
In a way, this is the Barney and the Backyard Gang of children's Christian kid shows, which also was direct to video around the same time this was distributed by Tyndale House Publishing; which is interesting because Patty Wirtz, who provides the voice for Ashley, went on to do voice work for Barney and Friends as BJ in the 1990s.
As far as the show itself goes, it's put together a little bit better than other puppet themed shows like the Oogene segments of The Gospel Bill Show, but not not as good as The Donut Hole. However, it does manages to be more unsettling than Circle Square and the Christian version of Jay Jay the Jet Plane; but doesn't hold a candle to The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Show or Ms.Velma's Most Incredibly Magnificent Christmas Week.
What makes this stand out compared to other content aimed at Christian kids, are how the characters look. Little Marcy is more detailed than the others; having uncanny human facial features, compared to her friends which look like standard felt puppets. Something that others have commented on that also makes the show unintentionally creepy and unsettling, is how Marcy's friends flock to her in an almost cult like manner--adding to the idea that the design of the puppets was intentional.
The content isn't really that entertaining, nor does it have a lot of major substance to it. If obscure kid shows or public access content is your thing, maybe this might be interesting to you. It's not necessarily something that's a blast to watch with your friends, but maybe it can provide a laugh or two with how off and surreal things can get.
