Quotes:
Snow White Charming: Mother, you shouldn't be doing bad deeds this close to Christmas, you want to be on your best behavior for Santa.
Queen Lillian White: Santa? You two still believe in Santa? Oh this is rich.
Snow White Charming: Why shouldn't we believe in him?
Eric Charming: Hasn't he come every year on Christmas Eve?
Queen Lillian White: This is not the Enchanted Forrest, this is the Twentieth Century. There are no wishing wells, no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and certainly no Santa Claus.
Sally Miller: [knocks on the door, then enters] Hi, you guys want to come to the mall to see Santa Claus?

Very notable, especially for the fresh idea, 23 April 2003
Author: BadWebDiver from Perth, Australia

I was very fond of this show, especially as it seemed a pretty fresh spin on your standard cheesy American family sitcom. I think this is more in line with the early 60s and 70s comedy like I DREAM OF JEANNIE, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN, and WHEN THINGS WERE ROTTEN, when television comedy seemed to have more imaginative storylines and less social moralising ("Not that there's anything wrong with that!").
