-----
Being a child of the 80's, I grew up watching The Littles, Johnny Test, Mona the Vampire and other fun cartoons that make up this classic collection of cartoons from my childhood. Prior to receiving these two DVDs to watch with my girls, I had started to introduce the to The Littles, as I had come across old VHS tapes of recordings from this and other cartoons I used to watch. :-)
It was nice to relive my childhood and have a refresher of sorts with these 10 Halloween themed episodes.  Some of the episodes I remembered, while others were like I was seeing them for the first time, this time with my girls.  
Overall, the selection of Halloween cartoons that make up this 10-episode DVD are wonderful.  Savannah found them thoroughly entertaining, while Bella liked to pretend she was scared, when vampires or ghosts would appear. Then, she would follow up and say that she was just being goofy. :-)  
I ended up keeping the TV's Spookiest Halloween Episodes from TV Guide Spotlight DVD to watch with my husband, as he, too, was a fan of Roseanne back in the day.  Like the cartoons, he couldn't recall the Halloween episode, so he was interested in seeing it.  We ended up watching all 13 episodes that make up this recent release, this past Friday during our at-home date night, seeing that the girls were still sick. 
I don't know about you, but I love watching old shows from the past whenever they are on television, or find their way onto DVDs.  You can't help but find yourself comparing how these shows would stack up against hit shows of today. But, then, you remember that they are popular and winding up on DVDs for a reason -- these are classic shows that people want to see over and over again. :-)  
These two DVDs sure did get us into the Halloween spirit, with their eery and sometimes silly stories, all the pumpkins, ghosts and costumed characters and more.  These two DVDs are ones that I see will be enjoyed every Halloween for years to come.  We will definitely be watching them.  And, when the girls get older, I will introduce them to Roseanne, and the other classic sitcoms of my childhood, which I still love catching episodes of to this day.
