Eureeka's Castle is a children's show that aired on Nick Jr. from 1989 to 1991 conceived by Debby Beece and Judy Katschke, and developed by R. L. Stine (of Goosebumps fame), who also served as head writer. It followed a similar format to Sesame Street (in fact, all of its main cast were alumni of Sesame and/or other Muppet productions) although more in the spirit of another Nickelodeon series, Pinwheel, which this series was meant to be a replacement for as Pinwheel began to be phased out throughout 1989, in that it was a Puppet Show that also featured animated and live-action segments. For a time, Eureeka's Castle stood alongside Double Dare (1986) and You Can't Do That on Television as one of Nickelodeon's flagship shows and was most certainly the flagship show of the Nick Jr. block up until the mid-1990s. At its peak, it would be run in two hour blocks. Reruns of the show continued on Nickelodeon into the summer of 1996, with a brief return in fall 1998 into winter 1999. Between 1999 and 2000, Noggin picked up the short half-hour version. The half-hour version was later syndicated in Canada, where it aired for several years on TVOntario, the provincial public broadcaster.The main puppet sketches took place in a castle owned by a wizard named Eureeka (also a music box owned by a giant), and featured characters such as Magellan, the dragon, Batly, the bat, Bogge and Quagmire, twin monsters who lived in the moat, and Mr. Knack, a trader / fix-it man who worked in the courtyard.The show also aired cartoons, often American dubs of UK or European exports, including Roobarb, The Shoe People, Towser, and James The Cat.As of April 2021, 26 episodes of the show's half-hour configuration are available to stream on Paramount+.Now has a Character page!

Cannot Keep a Secret: Everyone was planning on throwing a surprise party for Mr. Knack, and the first thing that Magellan did is to go over and tell him about it.

Gone Horribly Right: Batly buys some cologne designed to attract insects (which naturally, he intends to catch and eat). It ends up working too well when insects begin swarming all over and biting him. In the end, he decides to give the cologne to Bogge and Quagmire as a bit of payback for bothering him earlier.

Sick Episode: Magellan gets a cold in one sketch, while in another Bogge gets the flu and Batly plays sick to get the same amount of attention. The following three sketches also relate to health; one is a "Dem Bones" music video, one involves a bird getting laryngitis, and one is about one clay guy Playing Sick to get out of building the boat.

Failure Is the Only Option: Bogge and Quagmire will never successfully con Magellan out of his peanut butter sandwich. Ever. Bogge did succeed on his own in eating Magellan's sandwich once, and commented on how full he was, only to find out that Magellan was about to give him the two peanut butter sandwiches Eureeka made for his lunch, but since Bogge said he wasn't hungry anymore, he took them for himself.

The Baby of the Bunch: Despite being the largest character (not including the Giant), Magellan is easily the youngest. He's very naïve and impressionable, gets easily upset when things go wrong, and Eureeka usually acts as a surrogate mother for him.

Induced Hypochondria: In a way. Bogge and Quagmire in one episode convince Magellan that dragons are related to tadpoles and, like tadpoles, lose their tails as they grow older. When Eureeka tells him it was a put-on, Magellan uses his tail to give the moat twins some Laser-Guided Karma.

Contagious Laughter: One sketch begins with Magellan thinking to himself, but then he starts laughing. Batly comes up, and begins laughing as well, and they’re soon joined by Bogge and Quagmire. Finally Mr. Knack comes up and asks what’s so funny. Everyone just turns to Magellan who explains that he was laughing over how people will laugh at anything. Everyone then resumes laughing, Mr. Knack included.

Suckiness Is Painful: The others seem to feel this way about Batly's singing. In one episode, he caught Magellan's sore throat, rendering him unable to sing. The moment he said that, the whole castle rejoiced.

Voice of Reason: Generally, when someone in the castle has a problem, be it the Bogge and Quagmire having an argument, or Magellan is upset over something, they usually turn to Eureeka, who has some kind of solution for it.

Don't Touch It, You Idiot!
 Eureeka's Castle / int_ab17e948
comment
Don't Touch It, You Idiot!:note Although, without the "idiot" part. This is a preschool show, after all. The entire premise for the half-hour special, "Don't Touch That Box!" The gang finds a box that belongs to the Grand Wizard (played by Luther Vandross). Knowing how powerful he is, and unsure of what the box is capable of, Eureeka warns the others not to touch it until she can get a hold of him. When she does, he even warns her that the box has been malfunctioning. While she's away, however, everyone's curiosity ends up getting the better of them. Hilarity Ensues. Eureeka tells the moat twins not to touch her wand while she's away making them some peanut butter sandwiches. Of course, they do, and end up making several items in Eureeka's chambers disappear - including, apparently, Bogge himself. Bogge was only playing a joke, though.

Idiosyncratic Wipes: A variation where it's done between segments instead of between scenes. They involve an animated version of the castle's winding key, which may or may not turn a couple or so times before going to the next segment.note There's even a version where the key doesn't stop at all, and goes right to the next segment. The half-hour version also features a second one that features one of the castle's towers with the winding key, similar to (but not quite the same as) the show's Ad Bumpers.

Buffy Speak: Once when Mr. Knack was trying to fix a record player, he couldn't find the screwdriver and asked Magellan to go see if he could borrow one from the Moat Twins. Unfortunately, for Magellan, Mr. Knack couldn't remember what it was called and simply referred to it as a "Twisty-twisty turny-turny all the way down thing." When Magellan goes to the Moat Twins, they quickly realize what he's asking for, but decide to have some fun and mess with him.
