This daily children’s series combined live action with animation.
Sam Baxter (R.J. Williams) was a 14-year-old boy who, like most kids, was not enthusiastic about school.
He would rather stay in his basement bedroom and create his own world with the help of his computer D.E.C.K.S. – Digital Eltrosonic Cassette Headed Kinematics System – voiced by Rob Paulsen.
But when he did have to go to school, he activated the computer, and the viewer saw various cartoon shorts including “Fender Bender 500” – a monster truck racing cartoon similar in concept to Wacky Races; “Monster Tails” – a cartoon about the cats, dogs, and other pets of famous movie monsters who all lived together in a castle in Transylvania with their guardian Igor Jr. (Charlie Adler); the Tom and Jerry-esque “Dino and the Cave Mouse” segment from The Flintstone Comedy Show; and “Undercover Elephant” from CB Bears.
Debbie Baxter (Terri Ivens) was Sam’s mother; K.C. (Ebonie Smith) was his friend; and Grandpa Quirk (Avery Schreiber) was his eccentric scientist grandfather and the inventor of D.E.C.K.S.
