Which lead to SavingChristmas, which lead to a rare sympathetic, sweet moment for Lillian.

This was not a good show - [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot the writers didn't have the inspiration to realize the true potential of the material]]; little happened here that couldn't happen in a normal SitCom. The producers had a visibly low budget, so there was little magic, and what magic there was was sometimes SpecialEffectFailure. Having to work around concepts that Creator/{{Disney}} believes it owns [[ScrewedByTheLawyers likely didn't help, either]]. (No, Disney had nothing to do with this.)
Nevertheless, its first season brought in high UsefulNotes/{{Ratings}} -- high enough that the actress who played Snow White got replaced in the second season, since the first actress demanded more money based on her demonstrated drawing power. Its second season bombed, partly for the reasons already mentioned, and partly because ABC showed NO faith in it whatsoever (they moved it up against ''Series/TheCosbyShow'', where it got slaughtered).

That's an orphaned setup, not punchline. And don't use hyphens for emphasis.
