Episode synopsis
The family is worried whether Uncle Lenny will make it to the mansion for Christmas because of a big storm that's predicted. Kiefer tells Turner that Santa Claus doesn't exist. Meanwhile Lenny's dogsled gets snowed in, he hitches a ride on a plane, falls off it and collapses in the snow. Turner goes to sleep asking Santa to forget about all the presents for him and to help his Uncle instead. Santa comes to Turner (in a dream?) and takes him to where Lenny is lying in the snow and they bring him home for Christmas.
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.
