I know for some of you the sheer excitement of getting 2 disks of an old favorite tv show at such an amazing price is just too good to be true, isn't it? Well apparently, it is. If the 2006 in parenthesis didn't clue you in these 'Freaky Favorites' are picked from AYAOTD's Season 6, which was was the new cast after it's initial run was cancelled.

So like the other reviewer has stated, if you want the original cast and tales, goto amazon.ca and order it from amazon's canadian retailer. And write to Nick and tell them to release these classics in America, otherwise we're just going to keep giving those canucks our American money.

This was my favorite show when I was a kid. I recently ordered the Season One set from Canada and found that I like the episodes as much today as I did long ago. Seasons One and Two of this series are undoubtedly the best; they have the most diverse array of unique, engaging stories with good dialog and acting. After Season Two, the series becomes derivative and disapointing. The show fell into a common trap: it began to immitate itself. The episodes in the Freaky Favorites collection are the first six episodes of Season Six. Keep in mind that Season Six is the first season of the revival series that aired about three years after the original. The quality of these episodes, as one might expect, is low; however, I recommend purchasing the Freaky Favorites set to show everyone that you are interested in the series. This could result in the U.S. release of the early seasons, the marvelous ones, which is what most of us truly desire.

All of you should make sure that you go to Amazon.ca and buy Season One! Pre-order Season Two as well! Canadian DVDs are Reagion 1, just like all DVDs in the U.S., so your player will definitely be able to read them. Also, shipping is faster than you might expect; I live in Chicago and it took Season One only a few days to arrive at my front door. Treat yourself to these amazing collections and spread the word!

If you are a fan of the old school NickAtNight show, this is not the same! If you are new into the show, this would be an introduction but nothing beats the beginning seasons of the show!

When I bought This I Was A Little Disapointed That It Was Not The Original Cast But Instead It Was ^ Selections From Season 6 Long After The Original Show Died But This Is Still Really Cool Because I Watched The Entire Show From Start To Finish And It Is A Great Trip Down Memory
So I Would Still Recomend This To Any Viewer That Watched Any Part Of The Show [[..]]

This DVD is so awesome. I always watched the series when it was on, now I can watch it any time. It is a must see for AYAOTD fans.

My older kids loved this show, and I must say when I was watching it with them I too enjoyed it. They watched it when it was a regular series on Nickolodeon, but I bought this video for my younger kids now (who are the age my older ones were when they first watched it) in hopes they would enjoy it as much. They LOVED it. They watched the entire video set in one day. I plan to buy the rest of the series now that I know how much they enjoyed it.

this takes the bad episodes out of the last 2 seasons of "are u afraid of the dark" and label it as freaky favorites. they are not freaky and not my favorites. NOT RECOMMENDED

My son has enjoyed this movie very much as he used to watch it on t.v. I have not watched it myself but my son loves it and has watched it many times.

I bought this at wal mart and watched it. I really liked it so I went to amazon to buy the complete seasons...But then i saw the price of them! for seson 1 its like 150$! And the other seasons are even worse. Those prices are way not what I expected since freaky favorites was only five dollars. My recomendation is to just watch the other sesons on youtube!!! But this dvd is really good, and they are freaky! BUY IT!!!!!!!

I wish they would bring this show back and just update it like they do with so many other shows! If you were a kid of the 90's like me and grew up with SNICK then you'll love this it was worth it! I even got my daughter into it...long live the 90's!!!!
