It's Friday night in 1988. You turn on the radio. Taylor Dayne's "Tell It To My Heart" segues into "Need You Tonight" by INXS. Hot. A full night awaits — dinner, dancing — and you've already sprayed yourself in Lou Lou. But what are you going to wear? Read… 7/12/13 6:30pm 7/12/13 6:30pm

Hey, remember the 90s? Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the creators of The Adventures of Pete and Pete, did a show in LA earlier this week. They'd already held one in November and one in New York in February. In an interview with the LA Times, Viscardi seemed pleasantly surprised to find that his boy-centric show… Read… 8/31/12 2:35pm 8/31/12 2:35pm

Old Navy has jumped on the '90s nostalgia bandwagon with an enthusiasm that would be unfamiliar to an era defined by whatevers and as-ifs. Previously, the company has used Joey Lawrence and Mayim Bialik (A.K.A. Blossom) in their advertisements and now they're continuing their walk down '90s memory lane with a… Read… 8/06/12 11:20am 8/06/12 11:20am

It's a pity — a real pity — that this medley of '90s favorites (or least favorites, for that matter) couldn't be performed by actual '90s a capella supergroup Rockapella, but this kid does the best that he can and that's still pretty damn good. Read… 6/12/12 4:40pm 6/12/12 4:40pm

Regardless of how far we've moved into the new Willenium, Will Smith will always be best known for his role as that West Philly scamp thrown into the lap of luxury in Fresh Prince of Bel Air — a sitcom that now, decades later, is more famous for its theme song than it is any plot twist. Recently Smith was on The… Read… 5/21/12 10:25am 5/21/12 10:25am

Admit it: You totally cheated and read all the endings until you found one you liked. And it was the one where you got pushed off of a cliff only to be saved by hyper-intelligent former laboratory dolphins. Read… 4/28/12 1:45pm 4/28/12 1:45pm

It's been a rough couple of weeks for you Courtney Love fans out there — how about a break from embarrassing news of Muppet feuds and Twitter tirades?

It's not unusual for people to think back on the music of their middle school years with an inflated level of fondness and nostalgia. Songs are wrapped up in memories of school dances, listening to your walkman on the bus and helping to form an identity that, at least in part, you've carried with you until this very … Read… 4/10/12 4:45pm 4/10/12 4:45pm

What the fuck is this fucking bullshit. First of all, they are hideous. Second, I cannot believe this shit is back. Third, when I was a teenage* raver-ish club kid, we took our shoes down to the cobbler and WE MADE OUR OWN platforms (mine were from saddle oxfords, and paired with giant dickies and a T-shirt that looked … Read… 3/21/12 11:40am 3/21/12 11:40am

Clarissa Explains It All was the coolest. Remember how Melissa Joan Hart had a pet alligator, that cardboard dog and all of the best leggings? And how Sam would always climb into her window via ladder and Ferguson was such a dweeb? Well, did you know that there's a full length Clarissa Explains It All album that you … Read… 3/02/12 5:15pm 3/02/12 5:15pm

In 1983, years before he would become Uncle Jesse, John Stamos was shilling Neet hair remover. Look at that floppy hair! Look at that mug! What girl could resist young Stamos' campaign to ban the razor? And do you think he still loves a Neet girl? Read… 2/21/12 10:30pm 2/21/12 10:30pm

RuPaul's Christmas Ball was shot for VH1 in 1993, but now that I've discovered it (thanks, Eliot!), I'm pretty sure it's more entertaining than any Christmas special, ever. Not only does it feature RuPaul herself, but other insanely fierce celebrities of the time: Elton John, Taylor Dane, Boy George, Laura… Read… 12/12/11 6:40pm 12/12/11 6:40pm

In the spirit of 90s nostalgia overload, the cast of Nickelodeon staple The Adventures Of Pete and Pete got together at Los Angeles's Cinefamily theater to discuss their brilliantly funny television series from years ago. Long story short, the actors who played Wellsville's finest Petes (Michael C. Maronna and Danny… Read… 11/23/11 4:15pm 11/23/11 4:15pm

When I was a kid, there were two best-selling books by photographer Jill Krementz that I read over and over, attempting to soak up the images, the words, the spirit of the narrative. One was A Very Young Gymnast. The other was A Very Young Dancer. In today's New York Times, we find out what happend to the little girl… Read… 11/17/11 1:25pm 11/17/11 1:25pm

A live-action film based on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego is in the works, which would be fine if Sandra Bullock was still slated to star. However, now it seems Jennifer Lopez may take the role. So far she's only signed on to produce, but the rumored plan is to drop the incognito geography lessons and turn the… Read… 11/03/11 11:12pm 11/03/11 11:12pm

Back To The Future's Biff. Weird Science's Chet. William Zabka in every movie role he's ever taken. Major motion pictures of the 1980s always seemed to rely on one particular movie trope: bullies. Whether it was James Spader in Pretty in Pink muttering the words "You're a bitch" with intense disdain or Shannen Doherty… Discuss… 11/02/11 6:45pm 11/02/11 6:45pm

Here's a vintage segment from an episode of Sesame Street in 1984 that shows a teacher sitting down with her class and asking them what they know about computers.

Back in the 80s and 90s, it was commonplace for television shows to dedicate an episode to some sort of message. Whether it was Donna's abusive boyfriend Ray Pruitt on 90210, Tom Hanks as Family Ties' drunk uncle, or the game-changing Jessie Spano caffeine-pill freakout on Saved By The Bell, each show took time for… Read… 10/19/11 5:30pm 10/19/11 5:30pm

What we have here is a silly '90s rap about bike safety. The tips are fairly obvious — "ride straight in a line," "don't swerve in front of cars," and "don't ride on handlebars!" And what's the most important rule of all? "Wear your helmet every single time you ride, strap it on, kids, wear your helmet with pride!" See,… Read… 10/07/11 4:15pm 10/07/11 4:15pm
