There is an entire generation of culture junkies that grew up on Nickelodeon in the '90s. While the network, primarily aimed at children, first started to get its footing in the '80s, it was the '90s where Nick became the defining voice in entertainment for kids. For the first time ever, in this book, the entire expanse of '90s Nickelodeon has been collected in one place. A mix of personal reflection and media criticism, it delves into the history of each show with humor and insight. It revisits shows such as Rugrats, Clarissa Explains It All, and Legends of the Hidden Temple, one by one. More than an act of nostalgia, this book looks critically at the '90s Nick catalog, covering the good, the bad, and the weird.

One of the most original shows in the history of television, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a beloved cult hit built on the back of another cult phenomenon: the bad movie.

This is the story of MST3K from the beginning to the end. Twelve of the episodes, along with some shorts and the movie, are covered, giving an in-depth look at the show, its ethos and its comedic style. The films screened in these episodes are discussed critically, as are the episodes themselves.
