Synopsis

Mimi tries to "save" her parents' message and play matchmaker for Russell.

Mimi thinks that her parents' marriage is on the rocks and sends them away for a romantic weekend- which also presents her with the perfect opportunity to host a party in their absence. Things go awry when her parents' weekend is an unmitigated disaster and they decide to come home early- just as the Wickershum boys show up at Mimi's party to trash the place...

Production notes

The world is simple, just poorly managed...

A snappy, savvy, family-oriented show about 11-year-old Mimi Morton, problem-solver extraordinaire! Mimi trains her earnest problem-fixing skills on her friends and family.

Mimi's family surname is variously called "Mortin" and "Morton" in studio publicity.

In the first two seasons, episodes each consisted of one cartoon. In the third season, they were each separable into two 11-minute cartoons.
