It was an real incredible experience for me. The quality of food was only matched by the quality of service I got. I wish I can keep the flavor in my mouth for ever. Thanks for making the evening an unforgettable one.

While much of this is rooted in memories, my hippocampus remains in tact. I tend to reference so many of these shows, unintentionally, all the time.
Thank Gawd for the 90s.
Are You Afraid of the Dark (1990)
Quite possibly the real reason I strongly dislike horror movies today. But, I couldn’t look away. I really loved this damn show. Thanks, Nick!
Angela Anaconda (1999)
Everybody was gray, and I thought that was the funniest thing about this show. I hated Angela’s voice but loved her so much.
Omg, Nanette Manoir!! Remember! SN: are there many blond-haired, female villains or antagonists in kids animated shows? Nanette, Angelica… hmmm.
Rugrats (1990)
All I want to say is nothing tops the following three episodes:
1. “The Trial:” Tommy’s favorite clown lamp was broken. Angelica convinced the babies to have a trial to find out to whom just broke the lamp.
2. “The Inside Story:” Chuckie swallows a watermelon seed, his friends shrink themselves to get it out.
3. “Ice Cream Mountain:” While driving to the ice cream place, Stu and Didi take a detour to a mini-golf course.
Man, for my VA babies, remember when Kings Dominion had a Nickelodeon-themed area with rides and whatnot. I just found a tee shirt with a 1995 date on it and it brought a thug tear to my eye. *memories*
Guts (1992)
You know you wanted to be the one dressed in purple. You know that AgroCrag looked fun. You know you wanted to do obstacle courses and win that gigantic crystal rock thing. You know these were our Olympic Games.
Man, every time I watched this show I was mad I didn’t live near Universal Studios in Orlando. So unfair!
Legends of the Hidden Temple (1993)
Olmec! Just like with Guts, you know you yelled at the screen when the last contestant who got through the temple part, got all the way to the end, then couldn’t put the three-piece monkey statue together. HEATED!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Clarissa Explains It All (1991)
MELISSA JOAN HART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn’t tell me she wasn’t my bestie!
I miss shows like this. sigh…
Kenan & Kel (1996)
They legends.
You know whenever you passed orange soda anywhere you thought about Kel’s famous saying. Fanta Orange and Sunkist missed out on advertising dollars with this one.
Glad to hear they’re coming back to Nickelodeon to revive “All That!”
Hey Arnold! (1994)
His last name was Shortman—bet you didn’t know that! Because we’ve all been tricked to believe Grandpa was just giving him a cute nickname. And the inside joke on the show was that whenever anyone would refer to Arnold’s last name, there’d be a distraction so the audience would never hear it! LOL! So brilliant.
Bruh, and Arnold had the dopest bedroom ever. Jelly!
Remember the Carmen-themed opera episode with Ruth! This came out around the time Beyonce played Carmen in that really, uhhhhh, ‘well-acted’ Hip-Hopera on MTV. Wow…that was 🗑️.
I think my favorite episode is the one based off the film “12 Angry Men,” where Arnold tried to prove Eugene’s innocence and that he was framed to pull the school’s fire alarm. It only took my like 7 years to connect the dots. Gotta love it! This show actually had a few classic movie moments sprinkled throughout its seasons. I think the most touching episode, though, was about Mr. Nyugen’s daughter—the real ones know. *thug tears*
"Hey Maria, Come ova here!"
"I hate the snow, I hate the snow…"
All That (1994)
Our very own Saturday Night Live. And then Kenan goes on to be the longest running member of SNL, what a legend.
They had the hottest music artists on at the time. TLC sang the intro song. SNICK was so dope, and All That had a lot to do with it.
Lori Beth Denberg, Amanda Bynes, Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Josh Server, Danny Tamberelli! Man, Nick Cannon got his start here! They need to do a doc on this series.
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
I kid you not, I remember the night this premiered on Nickelodeon like it was yesterday. I was at my aunt’s house and it came on later in the night, and it completely stopped me and my cousins in our tracks. If you recall the first episode was SpongeBob earning his position as Krusty Krab fry cook when a swarm of nematodes enter the restaurant. And then the Krusty Krab pizza episode…I mean, c’mon now. We knew it was about to be the new Ren & Stimpy. And look at Bob now, his memes take up like half of Al Gore’s internet.

Guts: Ways to be disqualified from the Crag event (and get an automatic 3rd place) included skipping obstacles like Boulder Canyon, crossing into another player’s path or attempting to disrupt their progress, and hitting the final actuator without having hit one of the previous ones (the latter was the most common cause of disqualifications.)

And it was also a way to show that they had this real friendship that wasn’t about anything sexual. They were friends, and I wanted to keep it pre-sexual.”
Y
Legends of the Hidden Temple: Each contestant was allowed to keep the same team T-shirt that he or she wore during the course of the program.
