Halloween: The time of year when all your favorite TV characters don crazy costumes and become involved in totally nonsensical plots, just for the sake of a holiday-themed episode. I love bad television just as much as I love good — and as such here's a collection of the best/worst Halloween episodes the idiot box has offered us over the years. More »

The internet kind of collectively flipped out when it was announced that Nickelodeon would bring back programming from the early '90s, and when it debuted to high ratings, Nickelodeon must have realized that they did something right. But what they weren't doing everything right, given complaints about air time (midnight to 2am? C'mon!) and the lack of variety in programming (how many times can an adult actually make it through an episode of Kenan & Kel?). But no longer. More »

There's one thing Nickelodeon forgot for its nightly '90s revival: The commercials that accompanied Pete & Pete, Kenan & Kel, and Clarissa Explains It All. Buzzfeed has assembled a collection of ads to complete your viewing experience, including the games Don't Wake Daddy and Crocodile Mile, as well as essential '90s foodstuffs Fruit by the Foot and Capri Sun. There's also this important PSA from the good folks at Bagel Bites: "When pizza's on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime." So very true. More »

In case you were living under a rock, Nickelodeon's 2-hour block of 90s nostalgia programming began airing Monday night and it garnered some impressive numbers: Monday's lineup of All That, Kenan & Kel, Clarissa Explains It All and Doug premiered to an audience about 850 times bigger than what aired on Teen Nick the previous week (ahem, Malcom In The Middle.)

A couple of weeks ago, Nickelodeon announced that it's going to start airing "classic" episodes of its teen shows from the 1990's. This is based on overwhelming Facebook demand from nostalgic millennials. Starting on July 25, between the hours of midnight and 4 am, insomniacs in my generation will be treated to a bloc of programming including Keenan & Kel, All That, Clarissa Explains it All, and Doug. Everyone's totally excited. Democracy! Will of the people! Memories so think you'll have to brush them away from your faces! More »

In an almost unprecedented move, a television network has actually listened to The People. By popular demand, Nickelodeon hopes to create a "new midnight society" by airing re-runs of the network's most beloved series (that are nearly 20 years old, by the way) in a block called The 90s Are All That. Having previously teased us with a clip of Kenan Thompson (formerly of All That and Kenan and Kel, now on SNL) sitting on the old SNICK couch, this new promo teases all of our old favorites from Double Dare to Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Darling to host Stick Stickly. This trip down memory lane begins next Monday, July 25th. More »

Now you too can ennui it up like it's 1996 with the show's first season, coming out on DVD June 21. Sure, you can watch reruns of classic Nick shows like Clarissa Explains It All and Rugrats this fall, but why settle for comedy when you can also have despair? More »

Exciting, especially since the shows will air in a "The '90s Are All That" block from midnight to 2 a.m. All your guilty pleasures, stacked up for your convenience! More »

A lot of work goes into creating a non-white television character! Creating everyone's favorite little Spanish-speaking explorer, Dora, took a year of planning with research, consulting and rounds of screenings with "tough" preschoolers. Not only that, the non-Latino creators have to be careful not to, you know, make any accidentally racist characters. When conceiving of Tico, Dora's friend, the creators were going to make him chronically fatigued until the show's "cultural consultants" told them that a lazy, sleepy-eyed Latino character was probably not best stereotype to be promoting. Also: the marketers were worried that a shorts-wearing, backpack-slinging (ethnic) girl would not appeal to a mass audience. Glad to see they were proven wrong! [NPR] More »

Saturday night brought one of the events that, in my youth, I anticipated as anxiously as the winter holidays: The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Lots of celebs! Lots of slime! Jack Black hosted the frenetically-paced activities and lots of celebrities brought the pretty. See: America Ferrera, left. Does she ever look bad? I also like how she played the pretty dress all casual with the wooden wedges, but that's neither here nor there. Also in attendance: Abigail Breslin, Cameron Diaz, Jordin Sparks, Jodie Foster, Amy Poehler, Ashlee Simpson, Hayden Panettiere, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, who is looking less like a tween of late and more and more like a 50-something who's spent too much time in the tanning booth. Miley, and the other Good, Bad and Ugly, after the jump. More »
