Most of the legend ones fucked me up as a kid, because they always ended up being real. The ghost train to hell was pretty cool though.
One thing that I like about the show is that it has some surreal elements especially in the episodes you mentioned but it’s mostly just about a bunch of normal kids in a big city. There’s garbage everywhere, homeless drunks on the crowded bus etc. I don’t know of any kids shows today that are about normal kids and do t have a decidedly supernatural/fantastic element to them. Although I don’t keep up with kids shows much.
the writers/creators just nailed an awesome mix of realism, childhood nostalgia, and fantastic elements that were treated with respect. another classic is The List
Made me listen to that again
This only I've grown to hate Lila upon rewatch
There were also some eps that purposely ended on rather shitty notes, like Arnold Betrays Iggy or Student Teacher. Now everything's sugarcoated as fuck.
The one where he misses his stop on the bus haunted me for most of my childhood. I always made sure to stay rigid and awake on all my bus rides
They did. Another show that I think nailed weaving surrealism into their narrative, though much more often for obvious reasons, was Rugrats. Shit like the dust bunny episode, any dream sequence, Stu as robot were genuinely really scary for kids. I think it had a net positive effect on my imagination, even now.
Ghost bride and headless cabbie are good too
