The MacKenzies of Paradise Cove (also known as Wonderland Cove) is an American six-episode drama miniseries which aired on ABC during the 1978–79 season from March 27 to May 18, 1979, following a television film pilot titled Stickin' Together that aired earlier in 1978.
The series, set in Honolulu, follows the adventures of Bridget, Kevin, Celia, Michael and Timothy MacKenzie, five orphaned children ranging in age from 7 to 17 who, in an attempt to remain a family after their parents' death in a sailing accident, adopt Cuda Weber – a reluctant seagoing fisherman – as their unofficial guardian so that authorities will not split them up.
In 1986, the series' 78-minute pilot film was released on videocassette under the title Wonderland Cove by Prism Entertainment.
