KaBlam!

Any hardcore Nick fan as myself, back in the 90s when the programming was good, would know that Kablam! was the best show on the entire station, topping even the SNL-for-teenagers spin of All That! Kablam featured two animated characters, Henry and June, who hosted a comic book-esquire sketch show featuring regular acts (Life with Loopy, Sniz and Fondue...) with special scripts.

The show was humorous to the extent that even as a teenager I long to see the show again. But, like all good comedic shows, Kablam! went down just as SNL and All That did, grabbing for new plots until they cancelled. It was a significant loss to Nickelodeon, which now airs shows that aren't in the least bit nostalgic. But we will always have our memories, I suppose. As cliché as it sounds.

Kablam! was one of the funniest animated shows I've ever seen. Very creative and diverse. A lot of people involved. Great writing and concepts. From "Prometheus and Bob", about an alien trying to show a caveman how to live, to "Sniz and Fondue", great voices and great animation style. Wait! There's "Life with Loopy", a sort of paper cut-out animation, "Action League, NOW", animated dolls often done in by the Evil Mayor which sounded a bit like Ronald Reagan.

I guess some people didn't get it. But my kids and I REALLY miss it! Ernie Kovacs would be proud.

I wonder why a collection of these shows has not been put up for sale (at least I am unaware of any). I think Nickelodeon still airs it at various times, but I never get to see it. Nickelodeon, if you're listening, market the whole series in a DVD. I guarantee brisk sales.

NOW do I have enough lines for a submission?

The idea for this show is really genius. It's about a comic book with hosts Henry and June who flip the page to the different comic sections. The regular segments on this strange anthology show were Action League Now!, a superhero show with action figures as the main characters. Life with Loopy, a stop motion cardboard segment about the adventures of a little girl, narrated by her older brother. Sniz and Fondue, a traditionally animated segment about two cats (?) that get in to mischief. Promethius and Bob was a claymated segment about an alien trying to teach a caveman. The Off-Beats was an occasional segment that resembled the Peanuts. This show was just really great. The Henry and June segments had this horrible animation that worked so perfectly, and my personal favorite other segment was the very imaginative Life with Loopy. Try to find this classic Nick show.

this show is one of the best and i think now that it has been cancelled we should have this show out on DVD fast and soon. a lot of people might not have the nicktoons channel and i use to though. but anyways now that we see a lot of other shows coming out on DVD we should have season sets for this show also. i would like to say that there is a website out there to vote and please vote for season sets. i know best of and individual are putting some eps and i know this whole world likes every single episode on their favorite shows. but also if you like the shows you do like but not every single episode i know you might like having the best of or individual. but as for me the shows i like i would like and my mind is set on season sets is because i cannot choose what eps i like. even though it is hard but i like every single ep out there on some of the best shows i like. by the way you can also vote for any show you would like. i know i am waiting for full house, boy meets world, 2nd season of spongebob and some other ones out there but yeah vote for any show you like to on there. if you do like thats so raven don't forget to add the comma for example that's so raven instead of thats so raven. i tried to vote when i typed in thats instead of that's. so please vote for kablam season. thanks i know kablam is my 1st show i really enjoy watching. after all all the other ones i voted for will be be 2nd,3rd, etc... number ones.

This is as fun as Liquid TV, better than cartoon sushi, and has a lot of the same animators. Favorites would be Life with Loopy, Sniz and Fondue, and Prometheus and Bob. Check it out on Nickelodeon!!!
