I too do recall this show from my youth and I remember watching it mostly on Channel 32. But I have to say that there were episodes of the show that actually left me feeling a tad weird and frightened; especially with characters like the Lemon Joke Kid. To set a dramatic mood, the music they played reminded me something along the lines of the Creature Feature(another oldie) theme song. There was a time where plots began to carry over from one show to the next.
That is to say, it wasn't all bad (a children's show at its core), but I'm sure if I went through regression hypno-therapy, I would probably have an experience not unlike people who claim to have been abducted by aliens.
Seriously could you imagine waking up in the middle of the night and squinting in the darkness upon the silhouettes of one of those dolls sitting at the edge of your bed? Still, I'd love to see the episodes again. I like a good scare.
