Fun Friday: Be a 90s Nick Character!

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

I love that I can catch a bunch of my favorite NickToons late at night! If I'm home alone and bored, I definitely tune in for Rugrats... which I still think is one of the best cartoons of all time. Well, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Hey Arnold!, and Ren & Stimpy all make appearances in the latest infographic flowchart that you should totally check out. I know some of you aren't in love with clicking on links, so I've added it below (albeit a little smaller), though credit totally belongs to flavorwire!! Go through and take a look... are you going to be Alex Mack? Little Pete? Bobby Budnick? Clarissa?? Personally, I came up either Clarissa or Olmec, depending on how I interpret the "were you close with your neighbors?" question. Let us know who you are!

News Roundup: Breaking Bad, Roseanne's Nuts, Bones, etc.

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

Renewals, Cancellations, & Scheduling:
Breaking Bad has come back from the dead, with 13 episodes to air on FOX.

Good Luck Charlie was renewed by the Disney Channel for a third season.

White Collar was renewed for a fourth season.

Roseanne's Nuts is being moved to Fridays at 10pm for the remaining three episodes. Repeats of Dance Moms will take the old Wednesday slot.

FOX has passed on Locke & Key. I guess it's a good thing that I skipped out on seeing the pilot at Comic-Con (it was on my original plan), otherwise I might be among the many who are upset at the moment. 

Cast & Plot Updates:
Ben Savage (of Boy Meets World fame) will guest on Bones.

Did you realize that the new season of House will pick up a YEAR after last season's finale left off? House is in jail, alongside Jaleel White.

OtherFun Stuff:
Want a good laugh? Go read some predictions as to what the Rugrats characters are doing now that they're 20.

Speaking of old NickToons, Hey Arnold! and Rocko's Modern Life have been added to the late night 90s programming block on TeenNick. Look for them starting September 6th.

Did you hear about how Paul Rudd hitchhiked to the airport? He wanted to offer his savior something big, which ended up being a walk-on role during an interview.

Absolutely Fabulous will be doing three specials for its 20th anniversary.

TiVo isn't doing so well. In fact, they lost 33,000 subscribers last quarter, bringing their overall subscriber total to the numbers they had in 2004! I predict we'll see a similar drop next month when Netflix inflicts its price hike.
