Only in a made-for-TV comedy would the owners of a fancy restaurant be out of town on the establishment's opening night. Thanks to an unforeseen mishap, Mr. and Mrs. Korda (John Larroquette, Lesley Ann Warren) are nowhere to be found when their eatery is scheduled to open its doors. It falls to the Korda children -- Rebecca (Margo Harshman), Sam (Andrew Allen), and Max (Andrew Allen) -- to hold down the fort in their parents' absence. Naturally, the big night is full of craziness, exacerbated by temperamental employees, snobbish customers, and a couple of unforeseen flies in the ointment. Recipe for Disaster made its first PAX network appearance on May 16, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season Four of Full House gets off to a running start when the Greek grandparents of Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) descend upon the Tanner household on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple's rather bizarre customs and traditions set the household on its ear; and at the same time, the various cousins brought along for the ride stir up a few romantic complications--leading to a surprise at the end involving Jesse and Becky (Lisa Loughlin). Though they normally share the role of little Michelle Tanner, twins Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen make a rare joint appearance in this episode when Michelle meets her lookalike cousin Melina. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A puppet-animation feature, noted for artistic values and story line, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is based on a children's story by L. Frank Baum. In the Pagan tale, Santa grows old and nearer to his death, and the story of his life is relayed to immortals who must decide whether or not Santa Claus should be one of those who gets to live forever.
