Title: You can't go home again
Review: Some children's shows age well and retain their charm ("Stingray" and "Thunderbirds" with their careful attention to detail, "Gumby" with its surrealism, "Davey and Goliath" with its classic moral lessons). I was looking forward to the Mickey Mouse Club on DVD as I had fond memories of watching it every afternoon after school. This has not aged well. "Spin and Marty" and "The Hardy Boys" serials are still enjoyable (they were both serialized on this program). The rest of this resembles an endless talent show put on at your local public school by some local kids. It isn't very entertaining. It gets tedious quickly. It moves very slowly. The production numbers were expensive by children's show standards in the fifties but they look cheap and tacky by today's standards. Dull. I used my fast forward button a great deal on this one.
