User Reviews

Good-hearted but half-baked

Nothing wrong with a TV series built on moral fables. In fact, _Perfect Strangers_ was full of moral fables beneath its vaudeville humor. But _Meego_ wasn't fully conceived. There wasn't enough of a sense of limit to Meego's magical powers, and in general there wasn't enough underlying tension or conflict to drive the series from episode to episode.
