Damn you, lack of cable. Nickelodeon has finally keyed into the revenue possibilities of giving us 25-35 year-olds a return to the quality shows of our childhoods and adolescence. The movement was apparently spurred by the number of fans these shows have on Facebook; another win for the social media revolution. Several of the current or proposed line-up choices will appear in my series on the best children's television, including All That (which I will write about in combination with The Amanda Show since each had clever aspects but neither hit it completely out of the park) and Hey Arnold. For those who like their kids TV hokey, as many of us actually did when we were kids, I also heard on Facebook that Hey Dude is being released on DVD. It's pretty unaccountable what will capture imaginations at that age. Now, if you'll excuse me, back to the onerous task of rewatching the whole of Avatar: The Last Airbender so I can remember the details for my capstone post. The things this project puts me through ;)
