What makes it different from others?

People are voting emotionally.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I grew up watching Mickey Mouse Club and loved the series. I would absolutely love to find it on DVD or VHS tape so that I could show my kids. It reminds me of the wonderfully simple life we had back then. It was my favorite of the series that they had on Mickey Mouse Club. I have told my friends about it but they don't remember seeing it and would love to share it with them. The song from the series was also one of my favorites and if they had that on a cd or lp I would definitely buy it. I have spent the last week searching the internet trying to get information on this and at last I found it. Annette was my favorite Mouseketeer because we share the name.To be able to see this again would just make me the happiest person on earth. It's the old moral of good winning over evil. It shows the good morals we grew up with and the manners and kindness we should not loose.

Absolutely love this serial. My mother introduced it to me when I was a child. I am in my early thirties. I was able to find a few episodes online at youtube. I use to have them all on tape, but lost the tape. I love the simple way of things. Not everything needs to be sexed up or violence. I like those shows, but sometimes you like a nice story. Love the fashion. And it is interesting to see how kids hung out back then. I remember seeing pictures of my mother back then and everyone was so manicured. Today we are not so in the mannerisms and fashion. Definitely suggest to people who liked Pleasantville, Dick van Dyke, My Three Sons, etc. Nice family programming. With some nice laughs.

I love the serial. It reflects a time in the '50s when many families moved from the country to the city. Country kids versus City Kids. A reverse of "Footloose". The challenges of teens in their social scene at school. Annette plays a country girl adapting to the City High School Crowd, relevent to the times. It takes us to a time past of Spin the Bottle, Poodle skirts (worn by Roberta Shaw), can can slips, boy's hyped up Model T's, the high school malt shop, Smallville USA, affordable maids, and streets named after trees like Elm Street. My daughter of 19 enjoyed the reflection of a different time and different society. Fun to see Annette, Tim Considine, Roberta Shaw, Shelley Fabre, and many more. I wish it were available for purchase. On the Mickey Mouse Club show at night, they leave out the main scenes in the country where Jet confronts Laura.. It was the best scene. The serial is excellent

This is a serial that runs on the old "Mickey Mouse Club." Annette Funicello plays Annette, a country girl living with her aunt and uncle in the city. She's attending the local high school and is trying to be part of the crowd. This is very well written and some of the cast is from the "Mickey Mouse Club." Child actress Judy Nugent as Jet Maypen steals many of the scenes she's in. Interestingly, Sylvia Field and Mary Wickes from the "Dennis the Menace" TV series both have roles. Shelly Fabares also has a small role. She's a delight. Of course, Annette Funicello is the star of the serial. I highly recommend watching.
