Do you remember Fred, that super bizarro web series-turned-movie-turned short-lived Nickelodeon show? It's about a hyperactive teen named Fred Figglehorn—played and originated by Lucas Cruikshank—who runs around screaming and does weird stuff, much to the delight of children everywhere. When you watch it, you're like…
Though I was barely pushing 10 at the tail end of the epic era of Pepper Ann meets Ashley Spinelli, has a drink with Power Puff Girls and potentially breeds Kim Possible, I seriously think that these years were some of the most formative in the development of my sense of self. As a self-identified feminist, I often…
Holy shit, this Marc Summers interview on Buzzfeed is quite possibly the most revelatory thing you’ll see all day.

Well, the world might be in the shitter, but at least the future is bright! (Kind of. Except for all the parts that we're systematically covering in shit. But, you know.) In Nickelodeon's annual Kids Pick the President poll, our nation's wise young fake-voters fake-reelected Barack Obama by a landslide, and said…
On October 1st, Nick Jr. launched "NickMom," a programming block for mothers that replaces Dora the Explorer with dick jokes and "Bad Mommy" humor. So far, the aforementioned mommies (and daddies) are not pleased.
In case you missed it: Less than a week after threatening to murder Big Bird and then chuckling about it in front of millions of horrified but oddly entranced Americans, Presidential Candi-bot Mitt Romney has dealt another overly theatrical middle finger to the kids in America — he's become only the third candidate in…

"Nickelodeon Addicting Games," a free iPhone/iPad/iPod application from the people who once brought you Hey Arnold! and Doug Funny, features tasing, "cougars," and wasted girls passed out in front of toilets.
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…
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…
There's one thing Nickelodeon forgot for its nightly '90s revival: The commercials that accompanied Pete & Pete, Kenan & Kel, and Clarissa Explains It All.

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…
A couple of weeks ago, Nickelodeon announced that it's going to start airing "classic" episodes of its teen shows from the 1990's.

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…
In ninth grade, my friend and I used to turn off the sound on Rocko's Modern Life, turn on Sublime's self-titled album, and watch as Rocko and his friends wandered through their melancholy, chartreuse world. 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…
The good news: Starting in the fall, Nickelodeon will re-air episodes of Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Pete & Pete, The Amanda Bynes Show, All That, and Clarissa Explains It All. Awesome.
