Best Nickelodion Show....By Far, May 28, 2006
This review is from: Are You Afraid of the Dark? (DVD)
And let's face it...back in the day, Nick had some pretty incredible shows....Clarissa, Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Count Duckula, etc. It still did up until about 6 or 7 years ago then....plop. "Are You Afarid of the Dark" was by far the best. It takes real quality to make a genuinely creepy show that can be scary, but still appropriate for pre-teens. Well, Nickelodion did it with this gem. The most frightening and impressionable episodes were "The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors", "The Tae of the Lonely Ghost", "The Tale of the Bookish Babysitter", "The Tale of the Quiet Librarian" and "The Tale of the Nightshift." Classics. In the later seasons, the show lost a little of its original flair, but still managed a few good ones. The stories that dealed with technology ruined the show (sorry, computers aren't scary.) The classic ghost stories were the best.
They really need to release this already. I have plenty of friends in their late teens/ early twenties who have raved that they would buy this show on DVD in a second.

TALK ABOUT REFLECTIONS OF...THE WAY LIFE USED TO BE!, August 16, 2006
This review is from: Are You Afraid of the Dark? (DVD)
It pains me nowadays to watch Nickelodeon (as much as I can now) and to see all these sorry shows on now. Are You Afraid Of The Dark, and all of the shows on SNICK at the time were one of the most memorable television highlights of my past. I can remember staying up late (keep in mind I was in grade school at the time) every Saturday Night in my parents' room watching this and THE ORIGINAL ALL THAT! (Lori Beth Denberg, Alicia Reyes, Kel Mitchell, Keenan Thompson), Keenan & Kel, The Mystery Files Of Shelby Woo, all these great shows. Now, Nickelodeon does not do these sorts of things anymore. In my opinion the shows now really are sorry. But I was just watching some old clips of this show and it just took me back about 10+ years. I really am a very nostalgic person. Therefore, I have to honestly say that I am quite desperate for Amazon or anybody really to release a legal DVD box set of this show as quickly as possible. Either this or put it back on television, because I have pretty much stopped watching television these past few years and stuck with old show box sets. (Television really is going down really fast.)I have a feeling that with as many nostalgic people as there are in this world, and how desperate people are to watch television shows with a even a little taste, this DVD boxed set would sell very well indeed!
