Summary of "The 1st Season - Spoooooky Show!":
I'm happy to see this released on DVD, as it gives me a chance to watch some of the earlier episodes I missed when I was a kid. I don't recall any of these episodes at all, so I must have started watching the show in the second season, or my memory is fading. I thought the show may be a bit cheesy to watch now, but besides some poor-quality blue-screen effects, it holds up quite well. The quality of the set isn't the best, but I doubt this Canadian-made series used the best equipment and tape stock back in the day. It's also a bit ironic that the set isn't offered for sale in Canada; a Canadian company must own the DVD rights to it.

Available in stores for under $40, this set offers lots of entertainment for the price tag, and hopefully enough people pick it up that we see season 2 released next year. (read entire review)
