The Elvira Show (1993 TV Movie)
No big whoop
7 May 2005
This failed sitcom pilot revolves around Elvira (naturally) and her Aunt Minerva (a sadly wasted Katherine Helmond from "Soap" and "Who's the Boss?" fame). In the first and only episode Elvira and Minerva are living in Kansa when they have to deal with an undercover cop who Elvira is hopelessly smitten over, as well as, Paige (Phoebe Augustine from "Twin Peaks") the niece that she never knew she had. The humor comes across as "Married with Children" in as much as the double-entendres and slight raunch meets "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch". Speaking of "Sabrina", this one has a talking cat as well and it's easily the worst part of the show. If this HAD gotten picked up, I'd have probably watched an episode or two, but it's definitely no big loss that it didn't.
