Nickelodeon Clutches Heartstrings of Suffering Quarterlifers

While conducting research for our last article, it came to our attention that there are a lot of bummed-out twenty-somethings sitting around making Nickelodeon tributes to shows they grew up with. (See more here.)

Why is no one — least of all Nickelodeon — exploiting this wellspring of self-obsessed nostalgia? If we saw Gumby or Inside-Out Boy pushing product at us, we’d be all over that in an irrational second.

And we’d possibly (though not probably) kill to see a marathon of Salute Your Shorts or something SNICK-like. We’d even revisit Hey Arnold! if we had to. Man. Remember when TV was good? Remember TGIF? WTF happened to TGIF?!
