BET Never Aired on Nickelodeon - Nick Knacks Addendum
At some point in the last five years or so, people got it into their heads that BET used to air as a two-hour programming block in 1980. I thought it was true too, but after further research, it turns out not the be the case. Time to set the record straight.
Special Delivery - Nick Knacks Episode #015
Today we look at Nickelodeon's junk drawer, Special Delivery, a programming block that aired whatever the hell Nick felt like airing. You might get a fairy tale, a rock concert, an after school special, a sports documentary, a really neat Canadian show about First Nations people, or maybe just garbage.

Cardcaptor Sakura - Volume One Blind Review
Welcome back to Greg Reads A Manga For The First Time! Today we take a blind look at Cardcaptor Sakura, a story about a magical girl who has to collect a bunch of cards and the monsters that live inside them. It's very sweet, but also very merchandisable. How many things did I get wrong? How many names did I mispronounce? You'll have to watch to find out.

Piano Lessons Can Be Murder - The Goosebumps Monthly
Jerry really wants to learn how to play the piano. Just two problems. One, his piano is haunted. Two, the piano instructor is probably a psycho murderer. Maybe he should have picked up the guitar instead.

Livewire - Nick Knacks Episode #014
America Goes Bananaz is out, Livewire is in. Just how did this children's talk show differ from its predecessor? What did host Fred Newman bring to the table? And oh my god, baby R.E.M.!

"The Wish Giver" by Bill Brittain - The Corruption of Want
The small town of Coven Tree is no stranger to strangers bearing supernatural gifts. Thaddeus Blinn is selling wishes for fifty cents. It may sound like a bargain, but this is a Bill Brittain book, and Bill Brittain really hates it when kids wish for things.

Be Careful What You Wish For... - The Goosebumps Monthly
Samantha Byrd is a good kid (bad kid?) who winds up on a witch's good side (bad side?) and gets three wishes (one wish?). It's a classic monkey paw story (is it?) with craaaaazy imagery (not really?)!

Portals to the past are opening up all across the UK, and dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures are spilling out into our world. It's up to four unlikable jerks to act as dinosaur pest control. This is what you get when the Walking With Dinosaurs guy tries to make edgy sci-fi.

This is the story of PopClips, a half hour music video show that might of been the origin of MTV. Or it might not have been. It's also the story of network executives, exploitation film directors and ex-Monkees.
