Identity Swaps
Faithful family comedy adaptation of the comic strip with no identity-altered characters.

No LGBTQ+ content whatsoever.

Standard early-90s suburban cast; nothing inserted as a quota.
Preachiness
A lighthearted slapstick comedy with no sermonizing.

Largely faithful to the Hank Ketcham comic strip's tone and characters.
