Synopsis
An attempt to bring the "Mr. Bill" clay characters to "life" in a sitcom format, this Showtime special featured Mr. Bill (Peter Scolari), his wife (Valerie Mahaffey) and son (Christopher Burton), as well as his next-door neighbor, Sluggo (Michael McManus), his wife (Lenore Kasdorf) and daughter (Hope Tibbetts). Although starring actors, the "Bills" were shown to be a "miniature" family, with many of the jokes revolving around the characters' small size and the challenges they faced living in a "large" human world, as well as scenarios where Mr. Bill is subjected to the various abusive situations the original Saturday Night Live character was best known for. However, in this film Sluggo is depicted more of a nuisance towards Mr. Bill than a threat. Although the audience was invited to "look out for more shows" at the end of the 43-minute film, no follow-up "Mr. Bill" shows were ever produced.
