If you're a child of the '90s like me, you probably remember this Show.
I won't go over the whole thing- as there are 5 whole Seasons- since this isn't, you know, Twin Peaks.
Instead, let me give you a sample of the craziness from a handful of Episodes to tease the palette as it were...
Notable Exemptions: The Meta Slasher Episode (Reviewed already), making a Shooting Gallery Target bleed and cry for help (really), the fact the Denise Richards was on it and Lisa tossing away the Hope Diamond.
10. The Wrestling Episode: As the 'sport' got really popular in the mid '90s, many Shows did one of these. This one has the bonus craziness of the Genie being involved and giving 'magic wrestling powers' to Wyatt and his brother.
Also the Show was partly-overseen by Ed Ferrara, who would be an infamous name in Wrestling...
9. Bruce Arrives: In the final Season, we meet another Genie. He's played by Bruce Campbell.
It's more cool, than weird, but...I have to include anything Bruce-related.
8. Interesting Choice: In an Episode built around the pair feuding over a girl, the respective guy would use Lisa and her powers to spy on them. One of them took the place of a Laserdisc Cover (so '90s!) and the other took...the form of Lobsters in the Restaurant.
Um...okay.
7. Mr. President: In a 1st Season Episode, a wish to be President of the Chess Club backfires and one of them becomes the President of the United States!
That would explain (Insert President you don't like Here)…
6. Excessive Force!: In the finale of the aforementioned Wrestling Episode, the Villain- Shao Khan from MK: Annihilation- charges at the pair for one last hurrah!
Lisa's response: charge the ropes up so that they cut him into pieces when he hits them! Damn!
5. Clown Therapy: In the Episode about the two leads being rivals, Lisa solves their problem in the most logical fashion...
Creating a killer clown to make them work together (after it kidnaps their love interest). Naturally!
4. Sweet Ride: In their 'it had to happen' X-Files Episode, they face a government that wants to know more. When they find out the truth, they decide to just bomb the city!
Thankfully, Lisa gets her powers back in time and the trio...ride the bomb to safety. Um...what?
3. Supernatural Fun: So the Show takes place in a crazy form of heightened reality where you can make Internet Genies- granted.
That said, the fact that they face Ghosts and Vampires seems a little odd to me, no?
2. Weird History: In Season 4's premiere, the guys want some respect for having created Lisa. She hears their request and...
…sends them back to meet Frankenstein and his Monster. Thanks?
1. Alien Love: When Wyatt's brother keeps having trouble with women, Lisa helps.
This ends up with an alien trying to eat them all. Naturally.
That's just a taste of the craziness of the Show. I have a handful of Episodes right now to look at and possibly review as time goes by. It's stupid. It's silly. It's fun.
If you don't think too much about it and love '90s stuff, it's a blast.
That said, it doesn't quite get what a Moonsault is...
That's just a taste. Check out the Show if you want to know more.
