Interesting...

Loosely based on the movie of the same name, this series has Judy and Peter stumble onto the game and find Alan trapped inside. As the episodes went on, the trio ventured to various and creative places, as well as encountering some delightful supporting characters. This show had an interesting charm to it, similar to the movie.
