Is this a girls show?
My brothers and I used to watch it all the time, as well as all the other Nick classics when we were kids and I don't ever remember thinking it was made just for girl audiences.
Anyway, I showed a couple episodes to my friend and he tried to tell me it was a girls show and he said it was too freaky for him. I think he just doesn't get it because he didn't watch it when it originally aired.
