- TriviaOriginally, 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.
- GoofsThroughout 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 versionsSome 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.

Featured review
Great Show
In October 2007, Cartoon Network began airing episodes of the show Goosebumps. After looking it up on Wikipedia, I found that it was a Canadian show from the 1990's. I thought, "Old foreign show, may check it out." I hadn't read the books when I was little, so I didn't know what to expect. The first episode, "The Haunted Mask" aired, and I was instantly hooked.
Every episode was like a mix of a Twilight zone episodes and M. Night Shymalan film. Creepy atmosphere, and a twist ending. After watching this show, I asked my little brother to bring home as many of the books from the elementary school library as he could. As soon as I find the episodes on DVD, you can bet I'll buy them.
