Season 10 Overview

KaBlam! is turning 30, and we're bringing together the people who helped make Nickelodeon's most wonderfully chaotic show! 🎉 Thirty years ago, cartoons and comics collided when KaBlam! burst onto Nickelodeon. Now, we're celebrating three decades of Henry and June, Action League Now!, Prometheus and Bob, Life with Loopy, Sniz & Fondue, and so many other unforgettable shorts! For this special anniversary reunion, we're joined by members of the creative team behind the series to revisit how KaBlam! got its start and hear the stories that happened behind the scenes. From the original concept for Henry and June (which almost involved a laundromat!) to the unconventional animation techniques behind Life with Loopy, there's plenty to unpack. We also get the story behind Prometheus and Bob's found-footage format, the wonderfully destructive world of Action League Now!, the show's unforgettable music, and why some of its most beloved segments never got the chance to become full-fledged series. Plus, we hear about a certain chicken belonging to Neil Young, the show's surprising connection to Burger King toys, the campaign to bring KaBlam! back for another season, and what it was like working on such an unconventional show during Nickelodeon's golden age. And stick around for our KaBlam!-themed This or That segment! Whether you grew up watching Henry and June turn the pages or spent your afternoons cheering on the Action League, this is a celebration of the people, creativity, and wonderfully weird ideas that made KaBlam! special Be sure to check out Mark Cooper's The Orange Tape to check out his song on KaBlam as well as a send up to Nickelodeon's History: https://open.spotify.com/album/0Bw7s9sQAIMQfITEcbibf0?si=QPKWdyCgRAeRJVu9NviHQA https://open.spotify.com/album/4u7Br9tYVP3jAOCikt8H1r?si=98mCn7c0Qc6S9NjQUeK8lA If you'd like to see about purchasing the screen used Prometheus and Bob, link below: https://sites.google.com/site/cotezellers/prometheus-bob4sale Unlock Bonus Content on Patreon Shop at our Splat Attack Merch Store Email Us: [email protected]  YouTube: Splat Attack!

It's the 40th anniversary of Nickelodeon's Double Dare, and this time we got the real story straight from the source. Geoffrey Darby, executive producer and co-creator of the series, joins us to break down exactly how the show came together: the Nabisco pilot, nearly going over budget, and the theory of game shows that shaped the format. We cover the shoestring budget that somehow made over 70 episodes, the set design tricks borrowed from Password and the Olympics, the real story behind the one ton human hamster wheel, why they turned down a million dollars from Casio, and the on set mishaps that never aired. Then we close things out with our Splat Stanly segment, Retro Replay, where we put our own knowledge of the show to the test. If you want more Double Dare content, check out our earlier episode where we talked to Robin and Marc Summers about the messiest moments on the show. https://youtu.be/ssfvHzW6T10 Check out Geoffrey Darby's YouTube channel that traverses into the past of Nickelodeon's past. https://www.youtube.com/@GeoffreyDarby Unlock Bonus Content on Patreon Shop at our Splat Attack Merch Store Email Us: [email protected]   YouTube: Splat Attack!

They were the ones hiding behind their best friend. The ones who said "I don't think this is such a good idea" and "I'm nauseous" while the world fell apart around them. But what if the scaredy-cats were actually the bravest characters Nickelodeon ever wrote? In this Character Study, we put Chuckie Finster from Rugrats and Filburt from Rocko's Modern Life side by side, and the parallels are wild. Two anxious, glasses-wearing best friends who were way more than punchlines. We break down their personalities, their families, their surprising moments of courage, and why an entire generation saw themselves in these two nervous wrecks. We also play Wild Card — tossing Chuckie and Filburt into scenarios with other neurotic characters. The last option had us laughing. Chuckie or Filburt: who do YOU relate to more?
