So, I don't think many people talk about this show, but there was a stopmotion animated show called Bump in the Night that came on ABC in 1994 and it featured the voice talents of Jim Cummings and Rob Paulsen. It's about a green monster named Mr. Bumpy who lives under a boy's bed and he goes on adventures with his friends Squishington, a blue water looking creature and Molly, a rag doll.

I definitely remember ads for it on Toon Disney.

The only real memory I have connected with the show is how the voice Jim Cummings used for Mr. Bumpy sounded a lot like the boyfriend of a woman that used to babysit me while my mom was at work.

I used to watch this show a lot on both ABC and Toon Disney. I was actually surprised that they aired this show on Toon Disney years later.

I've had the songs from the Christmas special stuck in my head since I was like five.

I recently watched the two "Made in Japan" episodes from this show, which featured the voice and live-action cameo of Janice Kawaye. It's a funny case of Retroactive Recognition, as I could easily see some parallels with her role as Jenny Wakeman.

It's a charming show, with strong stop-motion animation, good visual gags, and a great voice cast. I think Ken Pontac's involvement as a co-creator is probably the other notable aspect of the series.

I think this show is genuinely funny and I really loved the characters. Too bad this show doesn't get enough attention.

I lived for this and ReBoot when they were airing.

Yeah, I remembered when this show aired alongside ReBoot and Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)

[up]Ah the duality of man: Jim Cummings voicing both a fun loving green chaos gremlin and a creepy robot-obsessed evil overlord in the same programming block.

[up][up] All 3 of those shows got the axe because Disney bought ABC and with that a lineup of only shows made by them. It didn't help this show's case that it was incredibly expensive to produce being a stop-motion show.

I'm still sore about Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) getting cancelled because of Disney buying ABC. Now, we'll never get a proper conclusion to that series (unless you count the Archie Comics as the closest thing to getting a proper finale to that series).
