The first line-up was Clarissa Explains it All, Ren and Stimpy, Roundhouse, all followed by a show called Are You Afraid of the Dark?. Are You Afraid of the Dark? featured a different short horror story every episode. Ryan Gosling made his first ever acting appearance on one of the Are You Afraid of the Dark? episodes.
