On Nickelodeon
A high-energy sketch comedy anthology for kids built on rapid-fire variety, visual playfulness, and the warm framing device of two characters introducing wildly different animated shorts.
KaBlam! is a sketch comedy television series that ran from 1996 to 2000. It features a collection of short films in several different styles of animation, bridged by the characters of Henry and June, who introduce the shorts, and have adventures of their own. The show ended its three-year run nine months short of four years on January 22, 2000.
