Faerie Tale Theatre

[namkcuR]

Anyone remember this show from back in the day(the day being the mid-late 80s)? Shelly Duvall hosted it and acted in some of them. There were 26 episodes, and what it was was that they'd take movie/TV stars and do theatrical renditions of faerie tales - but they'd do it in a way that while appealing to kids also had subtle more adult humor/nuances/other things in it. It originally aired on Showtime. All 26 episodes have recently been released in a 4-Disc DVD set.
