I happened upon an episode of this while flipping channels back in the day and gave it a watch. It didn't wow me, but I watched a few more episodes before giving up.

I think this was another one of those cases where someone created an original work and couldn't sell it but some producer thought, "If we change the name to a property with some sort of fan base, we could get it funded."

It never occurs to anyone involved that making something barely connected to the original property and lacking all the charm that attracted the fans in the first place might turn those fans off.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I wanted from a "maniac Mansion" adaptation. It didn't click with me, but it was full of people I usually enjoy.

I believe it was well-received when it first came out, though I imagine the close links to beloved SCTV figures at the time may have helped with that.
Even as a kid I thought it was trash, and Canadian kids network YTV (and other Canadian networks who showed it to satisfy canadian programming content laws - I assume it was fairly cheap to get syndication rights for the show) relegated it to the late night memory hole zone pretty quickly.
