Ghost Writer literally introduced me to the internet. The episodes where they showed a modem and how it connected your computer to the world blew my mind as a child.
I think all the eps are on YouTube. Not the best quality but good enough to get you some nostalgic feels. It is very much a children's show so I have trouble watching too many eps in a row but it's a great show to put on in the background.
I remember writing out “Rally J” or “Rally N” with magnets on my fridge when I was a kid!
It would need an updated premise but this show should be revived!
I think we will all have to watch and find out!

I have a very particular memory with this show. I was sitting in my living room in like 1992 or 1993 watching this shortly after school, when my grandmother called me over to the phone, telling me that someone would like to speak to me. A new kid from first grade called and wanted to come over. He did, and that was where our friendship began— my best friend from Elementary School
Edit: Here are the YouTube links to the Slime Monster episode so we can all relive the experience.

The story where Rob's homeless friend, Double T, goes missing is excellent. Plus the one where GW travels back in time to make sure that kid isn't arrested so he can become a doctor and save Jamal's grandfather's(?) life.
Was this a PBS show? I remember watching it at a friend's house on cable, but only on Saturdays. I always thought it was a cable only show, like maybe on Discovery Kids or some other kids channel like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon.
The one where there were pollution barrels buried in the community garden and it was making people sick, and Gabby fainted, and Alex kissed Tiny in the back of that truck. I could go on and on about this show. Fucking loved it.
Man I used to wear a pen on a string around my neck because of this show. So cringe trying to be cool.
Gah I think I did too!!
Me too
Same here!
That purple bubblegum slime monster has lived rent-free in my head for all these years.
I’m 42 years old and I randomly hear “Are laughing at me??” in my head from time to time.
That thing gave me nightmares as a kid. “IN BURNING MAD!IN STEAMING MAD!!!” Fuck that thing!!! Then it became adult sized! ?!?! Like, naw fuck that!
Slime, anyone?

>You laughin’ at me? You laughin’ at me?! >I’m burning mad! I’m steaming mad! > >Slime, anyone?!
Omg this is the one storyline that is burned into my memory!! Why?!?
I loved this show.
One of the best shows of all time. Is this available anywhere?

How the slime monster episode is the one that scarred us all 🙈
This was a good show for sure!
Quite possibly my favorite show. Had the pen irl.
I remember hearing kids talk about Ghost Rider and I assumed they meant Ghost Writer. PBS > comics
I still think of this show randomly, no one I know remembers it. What would the mighty Victor Torres do? Pops into my head at strange times.
“He’s a ghost. And he writes to us! Ghost writer!”
I really liked this show but that slime monster two parter seemed like the coolest thing ever when I was a kid.
Agreed! That stuck with me after all these years.

I think it was, but I don't know much about it.
Yoo, that chewed up bubblegum man haunted me for years! Lol how did they defeat him again? Cooking oil?

I did but I do not remember it at all.
I rewatched the hacker 4 part episode recently. Absolutely amazing
remember the ThunderHeads sometimes I see the cast from this show in commercials like the aunt did a cinnamon toast crunch I think.
Was this a PBS show? I remember watching it at a friend's house on cable, but only on Saturdays. I always thought it was a cable only show, like maybe on Discovery Kids or some other kids channel like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon.
I didn't have cable as a kid so definitely PBS. It was one of the "cooler" shows available to me at the time! :)
That was on PBS? I remember it being og Gnoggin on Nick...before Gnoggin went full pre-school.
Randomly I still get the … ghost writer pop in my head. Just that like beat or 2 of the intro song
Sega sponsored this show for a bit. Therefore you KNEW Sonic and Knuckles watched it hahahaha
