KaBlam!

Yes

... um, and I wanted to mention, you know, speaking of like people that you never dr- think about working with, like I was such a big "KaBlam!" fan and obviously "Pete & Pete"-

Ooh

... and, uh, Will McRobb was the showrunner and writer of "Harriet the Spy." And like getting to be on calls with Will and just watching him work and just like doing the reviews, I learned so much and it, and it was like...

So yeah, I mean, I was excited about the show, but knowing that Will-

Yes

... uh, was working on it and being such like a big "KaBlam!" fan and "Pete & Pete" fan, yeah, just made me wanna like make "Harriet" so good.

So, um-

...

Kablam came out?

Vaguely.

Does anybody remember the cartoon Kablam?

Vaguely.

I don't remember it at all.

It's all those '70s and '80s sitcoms.

I'm also trying to squeeze in a lot of stuff that you guys, that we grew up with, like Nickelodeon, like KaBlam!, early-

Yeah

...

Yeah, I really love the incorporation of the mixed media on top of this.

It reminded me, did either of you guys watch Kablam back in the day? Oh yes.

this this what is this so look it up it was like a it's like a little like anthology it was like it was it was like proto robot chicken but like for kids it was like it was like a kid's thing but they also had some like really they had some weird shit it was like uh that's some good shit but 1996

again this is one of those weird like in the taint of the childhood of devon and i to where it's like he was he was a little kid but i wasn't quite born yet yeah

I saw they had more form in this one.

I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure they had clay elements in this, but yeah, the Prometheus and Bob one in Kablam was like a claymation style, which we didn't get to.

We didn't get to a full claymation episode for this, but I don't know if there are any...

But like everything Ian did, sometimes he tried a little too hard.

Ian is played by Tig Swanson, who had a few other credits like The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Summertime Switch, Kablam!, Poster Boy, and even Boardwalk Empire as recently as 2012.

This kid looks like an Ichabod Crane.

He does.

We're the AstroQuirks signing off until the next episode of Walk About the Galaxy.

Kablam.

if you've never seen it it's worth going back and rewatching Shaq paralyzes a woman and then gaslights her
