As with Sound of Music and Poppins..., 12 January 2001
Author: gazzo-2 from United States

We also used to sit and watch This as kids, with the whole family, would wind up staying up til 11:oo PM to the very end. We always enjoyed it, from Benny Hill to the whacky Dick Van Dyke inventions to the P-O-S-H POSH stuff to the baddies chasing after the kids. Plus flying cars and the perf. by Sally Ann Howe there were good added bonuses too!

Have NOT seen it in over 20 years, so maybe it hasn't stood the test of time as Poppins and etc have? I hope it has. I know we all enjoyed it.

*** outta ****, nostalgia.
