1994 was the year to really tune into Nickelodeon. It was a time where they’d hit their stride with programming blocks like SNICK and excellent series like Rugrats, and The Secret World of Alex Mack. It was also the year that Aaahh!!! Real Monsters premiered (October 30, 1994). Another of the many Klasky Csupo produced […]

Dear MTV… What Happened?
Dear MTV, Let us converse, old friend. I know, it’s been quite a while since we last conversed, but I did call you old friend and my duty as a friend is to let you know when you’re fucking up. Just look at you! You’re a mere shadow of your former self. It hurts me […]

Lost Signals: VR Troopers (1994)
In 1994, “Power Rangers” mania was at an all time high and every kid in the world followed the adventures of the teenagers with attitudes fighting monsters with giant robots and cool costumes. Also during that time, every company tried to strike while the iron was hot looking for their own successful variation of the […]
