Lidsville - Complete Series

Rating:
Summary: Great Show. Poor DVD
Review: This is a great show for kids. I grew up with it and have fond memories of it. However, the shows appear not to have been remastered in the slightest. Picture quality is not close to the original. Moreover, it appears that edited versions of the show which were cut for syndication were used on this set -- each show runs about 22 minutes, even though the typical 1/2 hour TV show from the early 70s ran about 25 minutes. It's a shame that such a great show is getting such poor treatmewnt from Rhino.

Summary: 70's Psycadellic kids show starring Charles Nelson Reilly.
Review: This is another fine example of a Sid and Marty Krofft acid trip gone bad. Lidsville is about a boy named Mark (Butch Patrick a.k.a. Eddie Munster) who is trapped in a town of Living hats by a gay magician named Merlo. There are many wacky things like the Bad hats, Hot-lines, Hatamarans, weenie the genie and even a shampoo river. But the star of this show is undoubtably the evil magician Horatio J. Hoodoo played by Charles Nelson Reilly. You may remember Reilly as the most flamboyant star on the Match Game. If you're a fan of Pee-wee's Playhouse, you'll probably find many similaritys in this psycadellic Krofft classic. Don't miss it! Nhuh huh!
