Borrowed from ESPN and sponsored by Honeycomb cereal, Vic's Vacant Lot was Nickelodeon's next attempted at bringing sports and organized play to the channel. Was tennis instructor Vic Braden a good fit for a kid's show?

Skipper loves reading the Masked Mutant comic books, but then the villain's evil lair springs up out of nowhere in Skipper's hometown. What's going on? Is this a weird publicity stunt, or is the Masked Mutant real? Also, R.L. Stine doesn't understand comic books!
