The Story...

When Mark visits a theme park's magic show, he discovers a magic hat that shakes him into a bizarre world known as Lidsville! Premiering in 1972, this psychedelic Sid & Marty Krofft creation yielded 17 magical episodes in its two-year run on television.

The Wacky Shack says...

These are 3 DVDs full of fun and silliness. You've got big talking hats (cowboy, vampire, football...all using the appropriate voices). You've got a green. bald, bad guy with bushy red facial hair. You've got a magic genie that messes everything up. What could be more fun than that?

The Story...

Once Upon A Time there lived a lovely girl named Samantha. She had everything she could possibly wish for, and lived in a beautiful white house. The White House! Can the president's daughter live a normal life and fall in love...under Secret Service surveillance and nonstop media glare?

The Wacky Shack says...

This is more the kinda movie Mrs. Wacky Shack would like, but it still had enough fun, laughs and drama for me to enjoy it. Surprises - I didn't see it coming in this movie! The Wacky Shack's littlest shack, 14 year old Amy Shack, says, "This is a very cute movie."

The Story...

Punky Brewster is an independent, resourceful, cheerful little girl who was abandoned by her parents and is living with her puppy in a vacant apartment in Chicago until Henry Warnimont, the manager, discovers her hiding place. She brings light and laughter into the lives of everyone she meets.

The Wacky Shack says...

This package is full of stuff! There are 4 DVDs - yes 4 DVDs! You'll get the entire second seoson (1985-1986). You get 3 hours of the "It's Punky Brewster" Saturday morning cartoon. And if that isn't enough - you get a free collectible sticker set. Go Punky!

The Story...

A small lie can have large consequences. Littlefoot learns this much when the Tinysaruses invade the Great Valley in order to teach him a lesson. An exciting, new adventure proves that friendship, bravery, and family comes in all shapes and sizes.

The Wacky Shack says...

The Land Before Time movies are a lot of fun. And this one is no exception. This is number 11 (can you believe that?!) and it is as much fun as the first. Along with the movie, you get 3 new Sing-Along songs and some from the other Littlefoot movies too!

The Story...

Follow the clues to mystery, adventure, and thrills as Season One comes to DVD for the first time! Try to figure out these 14 spooky mysteries along with teen sensations Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson, and Pamela Sue Martin.

The Wacky Shack says...

These are really fun to watch. There's something for everyone here - fun, mystery, hit songs. There are even guest stars you may know - Mark Harmon (Star Wars), Jamie Lee Curtis (Christmas with the Kranks), and Rick Nelson (ask your parents who he is).

The Story...

I Love Lucy: The Complete Fourth Season continues to follow the wild and wacky comical adventures of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo and their infamous neighbors Fred and Ethel as they embark on even more madness in season four.

The Wacky Shack says...

Without a doubt, one of TV's all-time greatest shows. Every episode is full of laughs, and you get 30 of them! You must see one of the absolute best moments in Lucy history - when she meets up with Harpo Marx (the mirror scene - you gotta see it to believe it!)

The Story...

Joan, an average 16 year-old, is going through the growing pains of any typical teenager. But her life gets especially interesting when God starts paying her visits.

The Wacky Shack says...

I never watched this show before. After watching just one of these episodes, I'm hooked! There are very interesting and fun stories going on involving Joan's geek brother, her police detective dad, her recently paralyzed older brother, and her very loving mother. But I found myself waiting for the times that Joan is visited by God, in the form of random people, who gives her different assignments. These moments make for fantastic TV. It's very clear to see why this show is so very popular.

The Story...

MacGyver is no ordinary secret agent. He never carries a gun. He fights for justice using the most dangerous weapon of all: his intelligence. Richard Dean Anderson stars as television's favorite boy scout-turned-action hero: Angus MacGyver.

The Wacky Shack says...

Twenty years ago, this was everybody's favorite show, including Patty and Selma Bouvier (you know, Marge Simpson's sisters). Well, after watching MacGyver again, I remember why. It is so cool to see what he can make out of ordinary objects - a paper clip, some gum, a straw. The shows are exciting and fun and worth watching with the whole family.

The Story...

America's favorite couple is back for not one but two seasons of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica! That means twice the romance, twice the Jessica moments, and twice the craziness of being married in the spotlight.

The Wacky Shack says...

This is just plain old fun to watch. Here are two people that are truly in love. There are wonderful moments at Christmas with the family, Jessica getting eye surgery (I love that one), and Nick and Jessica babysitting. You also get to see Ashley Simpson sing at the Orange Bowl. I never get tired of these shows and strongly recommend getting this DVD.

The Story...

Chris Farley and David Spade star as two ne'er-do-well traveling salesmen who hit the road in order to save the family business.

The Wacky Shack says...

What a great movie. Everything works in this non-stop fun-filled adventure. Chris Farley and David Spade are perfect together. The jokes, the slapstick, the over-the-top pratfalls from Farley - it all makes for a wonderful time. We do love this movie here at the Shack.

The extras are quite funny, too. Make sure you watch Growing Up Farely and hear Chris' brothers tell some funny stories growing up with him.

The Story...

Alicia Silverstone sparkles as Cher, the matchmaking 15-year-old Beverly Hills High schooler who has shopping and boys on her mind, but mostly shopping.

The Wacky Shack says...

A totally fun movie for everyone. This movie introduced us to so many phrases - As If, Baldwin (good looking guy), Barney (ugly guy), Betty (good looking girl), Whatever (of course, you must make the W with your fingers). This is one of the best high school movies ever with each character adding their own laughs to the story.

The Story...

Join Andy's toys as they go on adventures in this ground-breaking animated story. This is the movie that started the current wave of computer animation.

The Wacky Shack says...

Every single moment in this movie is amazing. From the incredible animation, to the wonderful story and non-stop laughter, this movie is tops in it's class. Add to that a wonderful soundtrack and memorable voices and you have yourself the perfect movie for everyone to watch. And once you've watched the movies, there are a ton of extras that are just as entertaining. You must add this to your collection.

The Story...

Heathcliff is a fat orange tabby with a little too much attitude. A practical joker and con man, Heathcloff struts through life in search of new ways to torment Spike, the neighborhood bulldog.

The Wacky Shack says...

These 24 episodes are really a lot of fun. There's all of the fun of Heathcliff giving poor Spike and Grandpa all of that trouble. You also get to see the Cats And Co. cartoons that were shown with each Garfield. This is that gang of cats with the cool car that can change into lots of things. I love hearing the wonderful voice talents of Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck) as Heathcliff. You also get to see an interview with the cartoonist as well as cartoon panels from the newspapers.
