A Great Kids Show! (Contains Potential Spoilers)

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This show was so funny when I saw it back when I was about 6 or so...It is thoroughly recommended and is an overall great show...

Basic outline of general plot Julia Jeckyll, a seemingly ordinary girl, has the strange ability to turn into 'a 7-foot tall monster with a face like Godzilla' whenever the name 'Harriet Hyde' is mentioned. Julia and her friend Edward Knickers are constantly in the Science Lab at school trying to find a fix for this ability since Julia can't stop herself from transforming.

There is a recurring gag in which the kitchen door is blown off it's hinges in the Jeckyll household.

Julia's parents do not know that she is indeed also Harriet Hyde, so Julia has to live a secret double life, with Edward Knickers only knowing the secret...
