The 90s Kid’s Guide to Halloween TV

Remember when October seemed to take over the entire television?

This week on Average Joe Nerdcast, Nate fires up the CRT and heads back to Halloween TV in the ’90s, when TGIF felt like an appointment, sitcoms went spooky for the season, and one random creepy episode could permanently lodge itself in your childhood brain.

We’re remembering the Wereman from Dinosaurs, Tim Taylor’s completely unhinged commitment to Halloween pranks, Boy Meets World turning into a full-blown slasher movie in “And Then There Was Shawn,” and Sabrina the Teenage Witch doing what Sabrina did best: making every week feel a little like Halloween.

Along the way, Producer Steve returns from wherever the hell he’s been to correct one very important childhood memory, Nate discovers that his internal television calendar is apparently based entirely on vibes, and we get into why TGIF, SNICK, Disney Channel and those old seasonal TV traditions meant so much in the first place.

Because maybe what we really miss isn’t just the shows.

Maybe it’s who was sitting on the couch beside us.

Happy Halloween, Average Joes.
