With Double Dare packing up and moving from WHYY-TV to Universal  Studios, the people behind the show looked at the empty studio space and  went, you know, we could make another game show here for the heck of  it. It's Think Fast, where you never know what's going to happen and  that's probably not a good thing.

Don't Go To Sleep! - The Goosebumps Monthly

Happy Halloween! Every time Matt goes to sleep in the guest room, he  wakes up in a different reality. One day he may be in the circus, one  day he might be an old man, one day he might be a giant lizard monster!  Will he ever make it back home? And why does this feel so familiar?

Count Duckula - Nick Knacks Episode #075

I didn't PLAN on this video being up for October, but I won't pass up  the opportunity. Today we look at Count Duckula, a Danger Mouse spinoff  starring a reincarnated vegetarian vampire duck, his evil butler and  clueless nanny. We discuss the surprisingly long history of vampire  ducks, how Duckula ties into a larger horror monster trend, and ponder  the greatest philosophical question of our time: What exactly is a  Nicktoon?
