Calling all you kids that grew up in the 90s. It’s time to celebrate one of the greatest decades and the television network that helped make it so memorable…Nickelodeon. The network changed the landscape of children’s television and helped mold a generation. Growing up during such a special and revolutionary time for kids was pretty freakin’ sweet.
Remember last year’s special 90s Nickelodeon event in New York City? The spectacular night that was 25 years in the making? Well, they’re doin’ it again!
If you missed the event last year, you’re in luck. The genius minds behind “Slimed: An Oral History of Nickelodeon’s Golden Age” are gearing up for round 2 with an all new nostalgic celebration. “A Nite of Nickelodeon Nostalgic Nonsense!” is set to take over the city during New York Super Week, a special week long celebration leading up to the 2014 New York Comic Con.

Mathew Klickstein, the author of “Slimed!: An Oral History of Nickelodeon’s Golden Age”, has brought together over 250 of the creative forces that helped create Nickelodeon. Through a series of hundreds of interviews, he is able to detail just what made Nickelodeon’s Golden Age so golden.
Now, together with Nick legend Marc Summers, Mathew is bringing these people together for a one of a kind special event. On September 27th, creators, stars, writers, producers and musicians from classic Nick shows of the 80s and 90s, will appear for a once in a lifetime celebration.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Mathew about his new book and the Slimed! event. A couple of months in the making, I’m beyond thrilled to finally share it with you guys.

If you grew up on 90s Nickelodeon, this news is for you. Not only do you have flawless taste, but if you’re in the New York City area, you can now be apart of a special event 25 years in the making. It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Nickelodeon began. The network changed the landscape of children’s television and helped mold a generation.
I am so grateful to be apart of that generation. It’s not the same nowadays.
Partly because the quality of television isn’t the same anymore. Things like iCarly, Hannah Montana, and One Direction are of no interest to me.
I loved growing up watching people like Marc Summers. Seriously, I love him. He’s my hero.
