This was done so people would realize that the BigFoot was the main character in the movie, something that was lost on American audiences.

I hate to admit it, but I loved this show. Since the movie was originally created around a sitcom, it makes sense that they turned it into one. The movie itself has a very sitcomy feel to it already and it could naturally translate over to the small screen. It starts with a whole new family and the only carryover from the movie is Harry being played by Hall until he passed away.

The show came out on January 13, , and ran until June 18th, It was put out by Amblin Entertainment and would span 72 glorious episodes.

The premise of this show follows the same concept of the movie with the Hendersons made up of George and Nancy with their kids Ernie and Sarah. George worked at a sporting goods store and then would eventually start a magazine. They had someone who would help with Harry named Walter Potter and they had the usual next-door neighbor.

But as I mentioned, I actually liked this show. I liked that we were seeing the real Harry costume and not a cheap knock off, and even the end credits of the show would often show various scenes from the original movie.

And fun fact: Scott Baio was actually one of the directors of the series. This completely changes the way I view this series now…. Probably safe to say a sequel to the movie will never happen. I could see this being rebooted in some sort of Netflix series though. As the older sister, Margaret Langrick is saddled with a wallflower part, and an important interchange of flowers between her and Harry is greatly lessened by our lack of empathy and identification with her.

Similarly, Melinda Dillon as the nice but somewhat ditzy mother is faced with a largely colorless role. Co-writers Dear, William E. Martin and Ezra D. Showing deep character lines, however, is the creation and visage of Harry himself. Technical credits, as one would expect when Amblin is involved, are top-notch. David MacIntyre Billers as Billers. Peggy Platt Librarian as Librarian. William Dear. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road.

As you guessed, "it" isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.
