 There was a show called Maniac Mansion, loosely based off the video game. It was developed by Eugene Levy from SCTV in Schitt's Creek. It also starred as SCTV co-star Joel Flaherty as Dr. Fred. That sounds like it would be great! On paper it does, and oh boy was I excited when I found out there's a TV show based on my favorite video game. Until I saw it. It was as boring as fuck! It was just a plain old crappy Canadian sitcom. It had nothing to do with the game whatsoever. All the characters were boring. The mansion was boring. The dark humor and horror elements were all gone. Very loosely based on the game. And somehow it ran for three seasons. Who's watching this shit? It definitely wasn't me and I was a die-hard fan of the game. Every time I see that lame opening with that shitty music it just makes my blood boil. Me too, Ed. Me too.
