Exploring Goosebumps TV #2 - Stay Out of the Basement
We've seen the Goosebumps television show at it's beginning, but what was it like once it got into the swing of things? We explore a two-part adaptation of Stay Out of the Basement, introduce ourselves to the show's creative leads, and learn just how important scripts are.

It's October, of course Sample Platter is going to talk about Are You Afraid of the Dark. Today, we focus on a season one story that's about murdering children, and why that was important for the franchise.

In the 80s, fitness tapes and television programs were all the rage, so it only made since that Nickelodeon would tap into that. But more than that, Kids in Motion is the tale of one dedicated woman bringing creative movement into the living rooms. And also Scott Baio is there.

Sample Platter takes a look back at the only episode of You Can't Do That On Television to be banned on Nickelodeon, "Adoption." Did it deserve to be banned? Was there a larger context that made this episode iffy? And how should we consider offensive comedy in children's programming?

Slappy's back, even though he seemed pretty dead at the end of the last book. Will the third part of the Living Dummy trilogy justify the character's popularity and importance to the Goosebumps franchise? Probably not.

It seems somebody got the rights to a few too many afterschool specials. Well, only thing to do is to give them their own dedicated hour every Sunday.

In the late 70s and early 80s, Japan went through a bit of a koala craze, which resulted in two koala-themed anime shows in 1984, and Nickelodeon would eventually air both of them. First is Adventures of the Little Koala, where a little blue koala boy plays sports, learns life lessons, and falls madly in love with a moon godd...

The year was 1987, and Nickelodeon was in the mood for cute anime shows about anthropomorphic animal children. The first of these was Maple Town, a show about a little rabbit girl's adventures in a small Canadian Town. Also, it's a blatant ripoff of a successful toy line, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.
