Free Spirit "Hallowinnie" Part 2 of 3

Ok, this isn't a commercial, I'm branching out! This is the Halloween episode of the short-lived supernatural comedy "Free Spirit" which ran for half a season on ABC. It's probably most notable for featuring a young Alyson Hannigan (Willow from "Buffy The Vampire Slayer").

The premise of the show is that a witch (Corinne Bohrer) is sent to be the housekeeper of a mortal family. The kids know she's a Witch, the dad is clueless. Hilarity ensues! This episode, "Hallowinnie", aired on October 29th, 1989. A notable guest star is Jenny Lewis, playing the lead "Deb" Chris. Lewis is probably best known for her role as Haley in "The Wizard" and now as the lead singer of the band Rilo Kiley.

No. According to IMDB, she would've only been nine or ten when this was filmed.

Did Edan Gross have one of those growth disorders like Webster? He was born in 1978...this show was from 1989, yet he looks and sounds like a 5 year old!! He was really 11???

[80sCommercialVault]

He looks pretty normal to me. Most young actors tend to be kids that look younger than their age too.

Beavis and Butthead also thought the California Raisins looked like turds.

Alyson is so cute!

@dwnar it's Maia Brewton from Parker Lewis can't Loose and adventures in Baby Sitting.

Corine's costume always made this a memorable episode for me.
