Easter: "Why does the easter bunny hide eggs mommy?"

Here's an oldie from the comic-turned-into-television genre -- A Family Circus Easter from 1982. The A Family Circus gang takes on the egg and candy holiday with their usual G-rated humor. There's even singing!

A Family Circus Easter Easter, 1982


You'll probably have to look for this one on tape at the old video store. Billy, Dolly and Jeffy try to outsmart and catch the Easter Bunny by hiding their eggs in a trap. How innocent.

Just like other comic-to-tv adaptions, A Family Circus Easter is full of short gags that seem to fall flat when put into full action (See also every Peanuts special).

For that matter, I never quite understood A Family Circus at all. It's like Peanuts without the wit. "Oh look, there's a bowl of spaghetti on the baby's head -- again!"
