If you can appreciate a show for being so bad it's kinda good, this was Free Spirit. Corinne was indeed cute...her quirky personality for Winny really helped

I recently obtained all 13 episodes (the theme will get stuck in your head for days). There was a 14th unaired episode I'd love to see someday if it's out there..

What? There was only one unaired episode of "Free Spirit," and ABC didn't have the decency to air it, or "burn it off," over the summer after the season?

Well, it should have been aired anyway.

I have an episode of Free Spirit and Homeroom from its original ABC broadcast (9-24-1989) if anyone's interested. It's WOC!

Yeah for some reason I remember that show, or at least I remember seeing commercials for it. Because I never actually watched an episode of it.

I disagree. On the "bad" part, I mean. It had cheesy special effects, which are part of its charm, and Alyson Hannigan's acting was still pretty raw, but Corinne "made" this show. She was so engaging and lovable.

Free Spirit WAS a show. A single dad struggles to balance his at-home law practice with raising three kids. When his youngest son casually wishes for someone who’ll pay more attention to him, a witch named Winnie literally drops from the sky into their lives. Dad doesn’t know she’s a supernatural being and hires her as a housekeeper, nanny, mother figure, and possibly a love interest? Yikes is right! Winnie is magic, and can make pretty much anything appear on command. But can she charm her way into this family’s hearts? Obviously yes. Oh, and Alyson Hannigan plays the middle child—and proto-Meg Griffin type—in one of her first roles ever. Brynn, Aaron and Barry conjure up some theories as to why this 1989 trope-fest was quickly made to disappear.
