Eureeka's Castle is an American children's television series which first aired on Nickeloden from 1989 to 1995. The show follows various puppet characters, including Eureeka, a sorceress in training. She and her friends live in a wind-up castle music box owned by a friendly giant. Other characters include Magellan, a loving dragon whose cumbersome tail seems to have a mind of its own. Bogge and Quagmire, a brother and sister pair known as the Moat Twins, spend most of their time below the castle eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The near blind Batley the bat always attempts to improve his flying skills, but consistently crashes. Mr. Knack, a friendly tinker, sells his own knick-knacks in a pushcart. There are also various appearing creatures such as mice and singing fish. Magellan has his own pets like Cooey and the slurms, who were animated with claymation. Batley also has a pet spider named Webster. The show was originally broadcast on Nickelodeon from 1989 to 1995.
