Maniac Mansion is a Canadian science fiction/family sitcom very loosely based on the LucasArts video game of the same name. The series, filmed entirely in Toronto, Ontario, was produced by Atlantis Films for The Family Channel in the United States and YTV in Canada, and aired for three complete seasons. There were 66 30-minute programs in all. The plot of the show is loosely based on the 1987 computer game Maniac Mansion, with several liberties being taken with the characters and stories. The show centers around the Edisons, a family living in a large mansion in the presumably American town... of Cedar Springs, headed up by father Fred , an eccentric scientist, his wife Casey , and their children, teenage Tina , pubescent Ike and toddler Turner . Living with the Edisons are Casey's brother Harry Orca and his wife Idella Muckle-Orca . Prior to the beginning of the series, Fred inherits the mansion from his father, also a scientist, as well as the evil, extraterrestrial meteor that was discovered living under the mansion several generations ago.
