What happens

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show (truncated to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in the show's title sequence) is an American syndicated comic science fiction series based on the 1989 film. It expands upon the original film's concept of a shrinking experiment gone wrong to include a myriad of experiments gone awry. The hour-long program debuted in syndication on September 27, 1997, and ran for three consecutive seasons, concluding with the 66th episode on May 20, 2000. Peter Scolari took over the role of Wayne Szalinski, the wacky inventor played by Rick Moranis in the original film. Each episode incorporates new technologies and digital effects to feature the family in various new adventures. The series was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, with its main studios located in Currie Barracks, a decommissioned Canadian Forces dormitory. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
