I sincerely apologize to all my fellow 90's kids for the lack of updates in months. I don't currently have a stable internet connection, and I've still been working on finishing up my debut album, "Chameleon." as well as many other things! I realize a lot has changed in 90's Nostalgia-Land, and I'm aware of Nickelodeon's now sporadic line up, however I haven't had a chance to really catch up on it. I have watched the new Beavis & Butthead though & I'll be sure to post my opinions on it very soon! Thank you to all my readers that continue to support my blog! Hope you all had a wonderfully FAT thanksgiving :) I look forward to posting a lot more often in the future.
Wouldn't it be fitting if starting October 7th, if Nickelodeon gave us the option to VOTE for ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK/Aaahh!!! Real Monstersevery week of October?!
As of now Nickelodeon has been very vague about the shows we'll be able to vote for during "UPick With Stick", but if anyone at Nickelodeon has any kind of sense whatsoever they'll realize what a great idea this is & seize the opportunity to make us 90's kids happy tricker treaters!
Of course it'll still be up to us to VOTE for the shows we wanna see, but their in charge of the content that's up for voting so let's keep our fingers crossed someone at Nickelodeon gets wind of this!
If you are unfamiliar with what UPick with Stick is, click here to find out!
This is the voice actor that played the voice of not only Nickelodeon's Tommy Pickles on the Rugrats, but she also voiced Buttercup of Cartoon Networks, The Powerpuff Girls!
Isn't it crazy how some of our favorite characters are voiced by the same person?! Was this something you kinda already thought, and do you think it takes talent to voice cartoons?!
In a previous post I clarified that Steve Burns, AKA Steve from Blue's Clues is ALIVE & WELL. As most of you 90's kids know, on the show Steve went to "college" and his "cousin" Joe took over the show. EPIC FAIL, right?!
In real life, Steve Burns went on to a pursue a "music career" & well I haven't heard his music, but I think it's safe to say it probably isn't as cool as he was on the show!
After JOE took over the show didn't last another 6 years, and didn't continue to be hugely popular like it was when Steve was on & ultimately came to it's demise. However, we can't place all the blame on poor old Joe, because Steve did leave on his own terms. I imagine it'd be a tough to fill the shoes of someone so well received & liked.
Even though your sister was literally the coolest person on the planet in the 90's, that doesn't necessarily mean your meant to be a star too...Jamie Lynn!
Jamie Lynn Spears only got hired for "All That" because of who her sister is, because it DEFINITELY wasn't for those acting chops of hers!
She came onto the "All That" scene in the 8th season, when the show was basically a watered down version of what it use to be. If Nickelodeon thought she would breath life into the show, they definitely thought wrong!
FOR WHATEVER REASON, she was able to land her own show after All That wrapped, called "HOEY 101" whoops I mean "ZOEY 101"
Which made shows like iCarly seem like some kind of artistic masterpiece.
Proving that you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl, Jamie Lynn got knocked up at the age of 16! Ultimately ending Hoey 101 & Jamie Lynn's acting career for good!
Earlier today on the official 90's are all that facebook, Nickelodeon posted on their wall that our beloved Aussie wallaby trying to make it in the modern world was originally gonna be golden yellow!
The Rocko We All Know & Love
I'm glad they ditched the golden yellow concept, and made him the way we all know & love him!
Jim Carey NEVER looked this good, that's FOR SURE. Josh Server from the show "All That" captured the hearts of girls (and even some boys aha) in the 90's, and it's safe to say he's still melting hearts today!
According to Josh Server's IMDb page his career peaked with "All That" & the movie, "Good Burger" He's also guest appeared on various Nickelodeon shows such as Kenan & Kel, The Secret World of Alex Max, the wannabe Kenan & Kel..DRAKE & JOSH, and most recently played a "speedy delivery guy" on the awful Nickelodeon show, Neds Declassified School Survival Guide.
I know Hollywood's a tough place to make it, but his fellow cast mates Amanda Bynes & Kenan Thompson have been able to get respectable work since their Nickelodeon days. I don't see why Josh couldn't/can't because he's way more talented then both of them! He definitely showed his acting chops in all the different characters he played on "All That", from my personal favorite TANDY, or the male version of Kesha FLEM!!!
It's pretty clear from the posts on the official 90's are all that facebook that Josh is still very popular with the ladies, and 90's nostalgia fans alike. Maybe with the recent resurgence of everything 90's, he'll be able to get more work! I believe that if given the right opportunity he could still have a great comedic career in television & movies.
Rugrats is pro feminist families...HERE IS THE PROOF:
Mrs. Pickles is the educated breadwinner, Stu often chasing his less profitable dreams
Phil & Lil’s mom Betty DeVille, obvs (short hair, female symbol sweatshirt, clear second waver, OBVIOUS LESBIAN)
Charlotte, ballbusting CEO who wants Angelica to have an edge in a male-privileged world
Suzie’s family, upper-middle class black family with a really accomplished mom
Chaz, sensitive single dad who childrears and has rejected traditional masculinity
Pretty obvious, right? Although, there is NOTHING wrong with women running the household! Whatever works best for the family, in my opinion ;) I just found this rather interesting! I wonder if it was done intentionally! Hmm :)
Yes, you read correctly! Stick Stickly & Moose a. Moose are actually voiced by the same person! You can kinda tell just by listening to both of them closely! Looks like this guy has been working with Nickelodeon for quite some time!
There's no way to sugar coat the way things are in the world today. We're in a recession with a weak President who's only put us further in the can. The contenders for the 2012 Republican party are laughable at best, and if Obama gets re-elected in 2012 (and the Mayans were wrong & we're all still here) you can bet today's issues will seem like some kind of paradise then. Even the recent "death" of Osama Bin Laden wasn't enough to blind-side the American public from the current issues at hand. As much of has it pains me to say, I think it's pretty obvious America is starting to lose it's luster in comparison to countries like China. The fact that we now have to borrow money from China is definitely a sign of the times to come. I take tremendous pride in being an American, and the fact that our country is #1 (sorry my foreign readers.) so it definitely concerns me that analysts predict China should overtake the US to become the largest economy in the world by 2020, then be overtaken by India in 2050.
Until we're able to elect leaders who've actually ran successful business and know what they're doing, NOT senators & congressmen..we'll always be in the mess we're in.
It sounds pretty logical right?!
You'd think, but apparently not..here's an article from FOX NEWS (yes, I'm a gay-republican-foxnews-lover) about
the poverty level being the highest since 1993!!!
More Americans were living below the poverty line in 2010 than at any other recorded point in American history, new government data show.
In the first full year after the recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, 46.2 million people fell below the poverty line. That marks the fourth straight year of increases, and the highest number recorded by the government in 52 years of collecting data, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.
Today, September 13th, is the birthday of the ridiculously talented & amazing FIONA APPLE!
Few artists have been able to capture my heart like this woman! In today's world, very few artists actually write/produce & perform their own music. Songs are passed around like hot cakes, meaning producers/artists don't really pride in their music if they pass them around so easily/frequently. That's why, WE NEED ARTISTS LIKE FIONA APPLE IN TODAY'S WORLD!
With eyes that could pierce through your soul, this woman dives in your mind and swims through the depths of your mind with her lyrics & haunting piano melodies. She's 100% authentic, something that's lacking in today's music.
Apple has NEVER been afraid to say what's on her mind, which is one of the reasons I adore her! After she broke onto the scene with her CLASSIC 90's album, Tidal, she got quite the reputation after her infamous 1998 Grammy acceptance speech bellow:
For awhile she held the record of longest album title ever with her sophomore album,
When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cause you'll know that you're right
Or simply abbreviated to, When the Pawn..
All 3 of her albums have been critically acclaimed, and it's rumored she'll be releasing NEW MATERIAL soon! (A boy can dream.)
She claims she doesn't go to the piano & write music when she's happy, so I take it she's been having a good time since her 2005 album, Extraordinary Machine.
Hopefully she gets her heart broken soon because her fans are DYING for new music! ahaha :)
Here is her 1996 hit, Sleep to Dream.ENJOY. 90'S. KIDS.
I'm not gonna lie 90's kids...after Nick ditched Clarissa & Doug I found myself a little hesitate to tune in. Not that I don't love me some Rocko & Hey Arnold...I just thought that they could of added those shows instead of removing others to make room for them. HOWEVER, today Nickelodeon announced that UPick hosted by the man, the myth, the legend...STICK STICKLY!
Breathing life into a block I was slowly losing interest in!
(I'm back bitches!)
Starting October 7th,US 90'S KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO PICK OUR FAVORITE SHOWS TO AIR!!!
That's right, you heard correctly! We'll be able to vote for what we'd like to see!!!
It's not known now what shows we'll be able to vote for, but in the promo they do show shows I know A LOT of you have been wanting to see again!
EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT they'll air all the winners, making it pretty hard NOT to wanna stay home on a Friday night & tune in, right?!
I realize a lot has changed in 90's Nostalgia-Land, and I'm aware of Nickelodeon's now sporadic line up, however I haven't had a chance to really catch up on it.
