Episode synopsis
Tina wins an essay contest and the vice-president plans to visit the mansion to celebrate. The guy that Tina invites to dinner is an environmental activist who wants to spraypaint the VP green. Tina dreams that she's on America's Most Wanted after they spraypaint the VP. A Secret Service agent comes over, however, and tells the family that he's sorry but the VP won't be able to make it to the mansion after all. Tina tells Ryan that spraypainting someone to make a statement is stupid and she wouldn't have done it anyways.
About Maniac Mansion
Maniac Mansion was a Canadian sitcom created by Eugene Levy, which aired concurrently on YTV in Canada and The Family Channel in the United States for three seasons from September 17, 1990 to April 4, 1993. The series is very loosely based on the popular 1987 LucasArts video game of the same name. While LucasFilm served as co-producers on the series, the show thematically shares little in common with its source material. The series followed the adventures of the Edison family, who lived in a large mansion in an upper-class suburban neighborhood. Fred, the father of the family, was an eccentric scientist, and many of the plots revolved around his wacky experiments. One of these experiments caused his toddler son, Turner, to transform into a large adult man and his brother-in-law, Harry, to be turned into a fly with a human head! They both remained this way for the entire run of the series.
