What TV show traumatized you as a kid? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

Omg. I think that's it.

Wow.

All these years. .... Monster is in the bathroom. Brownish. I guess they used toilet humor there to design it.

I always assumed it was an adult show. But I forget how much horror was in kids shows in the late 80s and early 90s.

I still can't believe you knew what I was talking about.

Wow.

Also I guess the kid with the flies WAS from the same show.

I was right about that.

Also explains why I kept thinking it was an anthology. I guess cause it was.

I'm actually surprised by how much I did get right and yet could not find it on the internet for nothing.

Neat! I am glad to have helped connect some dots! Your description fired some neurons and I had to think back to a Halloween party in maybe 1993 or so.
