Oh, now I wished I'd gone and seen that Disney Live-Action series at the Aero.
Frankly, I think all those movies suck. If they didn't have "Disney" attached to the name, there would not even be the camp factor for me.
Of that era, dismissing Poppins from competition, I can say that only The Parent Trap and The Love Bug are worthy of your attention, though I'd really like to see The Three Lives of Thomasina again to see if it holds up to memory.
The rest of the monkeys that had uncles and the laptops that wore tennis shoes are really atrocious craptaculars. Even Swiss Family Robinson is a lame, lame film.
Disney lost it in 1960 when it came live action movies. And that makes the wonder of Mary Poppins all the more spectacular.
