Spooksville returned to The Hub Network on March 8th. The mid-season return episode kicks off with action-packed episode “Shell Shock” in which Sally reluctantly agrees to go along with her parents to visit the exclusive Springville Yacht Club, where a teenage boy, who is an aspiring yacht club member, disappears. To help solve this mysterious disappearance, Sally enlists the help of Adam and Watch to investigate and they soon discovers that the Yacht club is home to Spooksville’s latest supernatural terror – a giant mutant crab pirate.
The kids and I watched this together and while the intro and show name infer a hint of scariness, it wasn’t scary at all. I worried a little for Shae but the humor that was weaved into the storyline was definitely up her alley. In fact she’s started using the word smarmy to describe anything gross, weird, annoying, etc that she comes across. Katie Douglas’ character Sally uses this word to describe someone she doesn’t like.
Spooksville is definitely a kid friendly show with a modified scary theme that won’t leave your kids too scared to go to bed. The Hub Network has got a good grasp on a network that fits the family without compromising quality and content.
Catch the next episode of Spooksville on March 15th, 5:30pm EST.
