Interesting, but I was a younger child during many of the shows discussed (Roundhouse, Wild & Crazy Kids, Hey Dude, etc.) so I don't remember or never saw them. I do remember the title of W&CK, and recall one episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark (weirdly, it's the one Jewel Staite is in as a painter girl), but definitely had to refer to the "Cast of Characters" list in the back to figure out who was talking about what. "I’m starting to do stand-up comedy now and it’s hard to go up there and talk about how hard it is to be a guy. People don’t wanna hear it!"

" I would be offended if one of the friends on Clifford the Big Red Dog had a friend who was in a wheelchair." Um, yeah, Mary is her name. She appears in multiple episodes. My daughter loved Clifford. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Slimed! is the first oral history to chronicle the surprisingly complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of Nickelodeon, the first kids' network. Compiled from hundreds of original interviews with writers, actors, producers, artists, and other Nick alumni, this is the incredible story of Nickelodeon straight from those who made it happen"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I grew up cherishing shows like You Can't Do That On Television, Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Doug, and the summer programming block hosted by Stick Stickley (and can still sing his entire jingle, LOL!). I was fascinated by Pete & Pete and would love its weirdness even more as an adult. This book brought back memories of Welcome Freshmen, Fifteen, and Snick shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark? andRoundhouse - can we pleeeeease bring that to DVD?? I can still sing that entire theme song, too, LOL.
Oral histories are always a little hit or miss, and there were definitely enough sweet moments to round out the bitter ones. It's always fun reveling in nostalgia and learning that the cast members really were (usually) having just as much fun as it appeared. Nickelodeon became unrecognizable at the turn of the century, but we also have to keep in mind that we, the original consumers, have outgrown their network. I think its a mistake to reboot the shows (and haven't watched any of the ones that have been), but I'm really glad I have my DVDs and even some hand-recorded VHS tapes to revisit my childhood whenever I want.
A must-read for any Nickelodeon fan, or at least those who also believe John Kricfalusi is an entitled, irritating, egotistical dickhead. ( )
