KaBlam! (1996–2000)
10/10
Best Nicktoon Anthology Show
10 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
In 1996, Doug started a new and unfortunate life on the Disney channel in which they ruined the Series Doug. Late in 1996 The rugrats started having new episodes after 2 and a half years since it ended. Ren And Stimpy Ended(A show that i never really liked) And So did the great Rocko's Modern Life. So another new Nicktoon started airing....Kablam. Kablam started airing 2 months before The end of Ren And Stimpy and the end of Rocko. It aired from 1996-2000. The show was Nicks first Anthology show. It was told from a comic book that had your hosts Henry and June. Some shorts where Action League now!(Probably my favorite), Snize and Fondo, Life with Loopy, and the cave man show about an alien trying to teach a caveman over 4 million years ago(i think) called Promenthis and bob. I also remember the offbeats. Now to tell you the truth i don;t remember much about the episodes other than the basics BUT i remember when it did air on Nick. In 1997 the year i started watching it heavily it aired on Friday nights right after The Rugrats. I remember getting all crazy about seeing the weeks episode of Kablam. The rugrats used to air on weekdays from 7:30-8:30. This show aired at 8:30 or 7. Note i am positive it was 8:30 it aired when i was in kindergarten. It would also air again on Saturday mornings on Nick. Now in 2000 the show was dropped by nick for the stupid Oh Yeah! cartoons which had been airing for a while now. Nick i don't think ever ran re-runs of this show on Nickeloden. In 2002 i caught it along with with Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Aahh! Real Monsters and older episodes of the Rugrats on Nicktoons TV Channel. It was so fun watching these shows again. It was unfortunate that that channel started making its own cartoons now like the rest of the classic nick shows except the Rugrats it isn't on Nicktoons TV Anymore. Good news thou last year Amazon.com started releasing old nicktoons as a Nickelodeon flashback series. Doug and Hey Arnold Seasons 1 and 2 where released last year 2008 in August. In September a very unfortunate Best Of DVD was released for Rocko's Modern life meaning people would still have to get Rocko illegally to see the full show. This year it was announced that The Rugrats Season 1 and 2 would be released on Amazon.com and has already been available for pre-ordering. I have read on the Internet that Kablam has a scheduled for a DVD release from what i've read on the Internet. Now it is to soon to tell whether its going to be Seasons 1 and 2 or just another "Best Of" set which means the same thing your going to find it some other way to see the show again. I think this is one of the only Nicktoons from the 90s that was never released on VHS so this would be a neat edition's. Well either way once again this show proves in my opinion that old nick is better than new nick.
