KA-BLAM! needs a reboot

KaBlam! was THE show!!! It’s like SNICK's unsung hero. It was so ahead with the mixed media - cartoons, claymation, even action figures! Henry and June were hilarious hosts. Who else thinks a reboot would kill it today with all the tech we got now?

100% agree, Kablam was my jam! The mixed media aspect was gold, and now with digital animation and all the tech? Man, it'd be sick. Just imagine Prometheus and Bob but with even slicker claymation effects, or a revamped Action League Now with crazy CGI. Henry and June animated with current tech would be 🔥. I need this reboot in my life!

Had to google KaBlam! since I didn't watch it back then, but now I've seen a couple of episodes online and it's pretty cool! I think a modern version could work, maybe like an anthology show with different styles each episode?

Action League Now by itself deserves a reboot! Stinky Diver, Meltman, The Flesh, Thundergirl—they were the REALEST superheroes on TV, period. Bring it back with the same low-budget charm, but maybe clearer audio (lol) and it's a done deal.

I've been saying this for YEARS. KaBlam! was low-key revolutionary with the way it used different forms of animation. A reboot would absolutely kill it today. With advances in stop motion and computer animation, the sky's the limit. I'd love to see more obscure animation techniques showcased too, like maybe some paper cut-out animation or even some VR stuff? And the humor would translate so well to today's audience, it's always been a bit meta and that's huge right now.

idk, reboots can be hit or miss. Kablam was great for its time but not sure if it'd hold up. Gotta be careful not to lose what made the original so good.

Oh boy, another reboot, just what we need. Because that always goes sooo well. Remember what they did with 'Teen Titans'? RIP my childhood.

As long as Henry and June come back and don't get changed too much I'm down. But if they mess with my favorite characters, it's non-stop rant posts from me, no joke.

Modern stop motion has come a LONG way—ParaNorman, Coraline, Kubo... Can you imagine Prometheus and Bob with that level of quality? A reboot could be epic!
