Trivia
Originally, this show made up its own rating known as "GB-7", because, as they said, it may be too spooky for children under seven. This lasted until the TV rating system began in 1996, and from then on, it was officially given a "TV-Y7" rating.

Goofs
Throughout the series, it's clear the monsters or effects are 'fake-looking' or cheesy. However, lower-budget shows have different 'rules' than others with a higher-budget. It's been stated that viewing this series requires 'suspension of disbelief'.

Crazy credits
"Goosebumps is rated GB-7 because it may be too spooky for children under 7." This disclaimer appears on early episodes, before the "actual" television content ratings were introduced, at which point it became rated "TV-Y7."

Alternate versions
Some of the two-part episodes are edited into one double-length episode for the DVD release. The opening credits for Part 2 is removed, along with the "previously" footage and the credit overlays for the beginning of Part 2.

I miss this show!

I used to watch this show a few years ago on FoxFamily (now ABCfamily) along with Eerie Indiana. Goosebumps wasn't intensely scary, just mysterious and suspenseful - it sure kept MY attention. Anyway, I guess you can only catch it on DVDs these days, as I do not believe it airs anywhere on television. All of the episodes are unique and, for the most part, have intriguing plots and endings.

So, in general, if you're looking for scarily satisfying shows to watch as a family, then Goosebumps is perfect. There are also movies that came out that are based on the old Goosebumps books we all loved to read. Good luck, and I hope you have as much fun watching the shows as I did!
