Bump in the night was a fantastically awesome show, I loved it. They had it on ABC and aired it along the likes of Super Human Samurai Syber Squad, Tales from the Crypt keeper, and SATam Sonic the hedgehog. The show also had a super strict robot named Destructo and a Closet monster made out of clothes.

I still have some episodes of it taped, my favorite was "Made in Japan" where Squishington (the blue blob) got a really cute, tiny, robot from a cereal box and it had a heart on its chest. Only every time he turned around or took his eye off the bot, it changed into a super buff scary looking robot that freaked him out.

I actually don't recall the Halloween episode at all but I DO recall their Christmas special "Twas the Night before Bumpy" (which I own on tape still), Mr. Bumpy was traveling around the world to find Santa's sleigh so he could have all the toys for himself. Sorry about mixing up the "Tex" names, Tinstar is the right one.

Bone Chillers I truly loved because it was a comedic horror show that was not aimed to be scary as Goosebumps yet had WAY COOLER monsters and costumes then Goosebumps. Frankenturkey was definitely one of the best, I also loved the first episode with the haunted sketchpad that brought things to life.

Another good one was the episode with Mr. Stump, the plant monster gardener and the buggy lunch lady who grew maggots inside of people through her food. Mad Jack is actually one of the more recent toons that I remember vividly, see when I recall a show I recall EVERYTHING that was on.

Fox at that time was airing Oggy and the cockroaches, Spy Dogs, Godzilla: the series, and the short lived Mr. Potato head show around the same time as Mad Jack. Mad Jack was a much more adult toon, it was similar to Ren and Stimpy where the humor was so weird and yet so smart it worked on many levels.

The dialog was especially genius. I remember this line especially:

"I am your conscience"

"My con what? I'm not good with new words"

"How can you leave that poor soul back there?"

"Well it's very simple really I simply walked out and left, and now i am going back to my ship where I'll turn my crews skulls into attractive candle holders and"

"But he was your friend"

"Fre, fre, I'm sorry, these new words are really throwing me"
