Your favorite talking babies are back and weirder than ever. Nickelodeon is relaunching the ’90s cartoon Rugrats with a new animated series and a live-action film (produced alongside Paramount Pictures) that will feature CGI versions of the worm-eating, anxiety-prone infant friend group. How exciting!
The ’90s reboot to end all ’90s reboots is here—Nickelodeon is bringing back its iconic game show Double Dare this summer with 40 episodes. I’m not sure who asked for this, but sign me the fuck up.
In the past few years, we’ve seen the Tanner Family, the Conner Family, and Cory Matthews and Topanga return to television. And now Clarissa might be coming back, right on time to when scrunchies are officially cool again.
Childhood is happening alllllll over again (a little…ok barely, but I’ll take it).
Former Nickelodeon star Josh Peck and a woman I’ve never heard of named Paige O’Brien got married in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday in front of “friends, family, and a few celebrity guests.” Those who are none of the above were obviously not invited to attend the festivities, but at least one of those people, like Peck’s…
Nickelodeon, the television channel used by Viacom to indoctrinate children around the world with progressive ideologies, has just featured a same-sex married couple for the first time in the network’s history. BuzzFeed reports that the not-so-subtle bit of homosexual propaganda occurred during a recent episode of The…
Having once been a teen girl I can confirm that the vagaries of sex are a primary concern of those years—unraveling its mysteries, exploring its pleasures. The way that’s expressed, though, is often viewed by adults as alarming, particularly in combination with the only topic that can frighten adults more than teens…
You might be a ‘90s kid if you constantly feel it: the ache in your back, the tiresome realization of Oh, this again? every time you wake up in the morning to go to your dreary 9-5, the understanding that love isn’t what you thought it would be. Adulthood has been a cold hard drag, but every so often, memories of…
“Is it true?” you might ask, echoing the hallowed words of our sweet knight. Oh, it is so true. Champion of goodburgers and orange soda Kel Mitchell will return to Nickelodeon to appear in a new show, Game Shakers.
Great news if there are small kids in your life you occasionally need to distract: The New York Times says that, in a conference call, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman announced they're developing an unbundled, streaming Nickelodeon offering, under a new brand.

Remember that sad white male writer bro who lamented all of the diversity on Nickelodeon because casting minorities is so "forced"? Well, Mathew Klickstein's odd racial perspectives got him kicked out of New York's Comic Con. *cries sad bro tears*
The author of a book on Nickelodeon is justifiably getting his ass handed to him after waxing nostalgic for a time when white men ruled pop culture and there was no reason for diversity. Who needs chicks or people of color — let alone chicks of color! — anyway?
For many children and teenagers of the 1990s, Linda Ellerbee might have been the first news anchor we learned to trust. Never one to avoid covering complex issues in terms kids can understand, Ellerbee is hosting a special Nick News on the lives of gay children.
Did you know Dora the Explorer has been on the air for 14 years? Well, it has, and now the show's creators are looking to extend Dora's lifespan a little longer by introducing Dora and Friends: Into the City, a new show that will feature an older Dora. The catch? New episodes of the original show are still airing.

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. Maybe it won’t surprise you to learn that the popular Nickelodeon goo called Gak that grade school children in the mid-90s used as lint brushes actually derives its name from the street moniker for…
Because the Internet was created for the sole purpose of indulging in '90s nostalgia, I would like to take this opportunity to address an unsolved mystery from my early childhood: why was Doug Funnies' family white-looking when everyone else populating their fictional world was green, purple, or orange (except for …
Or, Dumb and Dumber, as it were. Ke$ha, you're making this too easy.
