SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age tells the surprisingly complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of how Nickelodeon -- the First Kids' Network -- began as a DIY startup in the late 70s, and forged ahead through the early eighties with a tiny band of young artists and filmmakers who would go on to change everything about cable television, television in general, animation, and children's entertainment, proving just what can be done if the indie spirit is kept alive in the corporate world. Get the real back story about all of your favorite Golden Age Nick shows: Everything from such classics as You Can't Do That On Television, Out of Control and Double Dare to early 90s faves like The Adventures of Pete & Pete, the original three Nicktoons, Clarissa Explains It All and more ... All from those who made it happen!

Rare Book
Review:
"Reading Slimed is like taking a trip back to summer camp to see your old friends. Mathew Klickstein has captured the outrageous, inventive, and crazy times of early Nickelodeon, and the stories are sweeter than a mug of bug juice. A nation of Nick fans will salute his shorts."
--Steve Slavkin, creator of Salute Your Shorts

"Somewhere between a tribute, a belated yearbook, and an autopsy, Slimed! attempts to figure out--with the help of nearly 200 performers, writers, producers, and execs who worked at the network between 1985 and 2000--how a fledgling channel with virtually no original programming identified, captured, and entertained the hell out of its preteen demographic.... Slimed! is the best kind of blast from the past: dishy, unwholesome, and thought-provoking enough to make you question your own memories."
--The Village Voice

Slimed! explores the behind-the-scenes drama of controversial shows like Ren & Stimpy and the family lives of its child stars, but it also reveals the network's unconventional programming and knack for recruiting up-and-coming talent (Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins was on the writing staff for Clarissa Explains It All)--as well as the secret ingredients to the network's famous green slime.
--The Atlantic, Fall Books Preview

"Culture isn't all serious business--sometimes it's just good fun."
--Publisher's Weekly, Top 10 Social Sciences pick

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The special 5th Anniversary Edition of SLIMED! An Entertainment Weekly Best Tell-All Book One of Parade Magazine's Best Books About Movies/TV Included in Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Social Science BooksBefore the recent reboots, reunions, and renaissance of classic Nickelodeon nostalgia swept through the popular imagination, there was SLIMED!, the book that started it all. With hundreds of exclusive interviews and have-to-read-em-to-believe-em stories you won't find anywhere else, SLIMED! is the first-ever full chronicle of classic Nicktold by those who made it all happen! Nickelodeon nostalgia has become a cottage industry unto itself: countless podcasts, blogs, documentaries, social media communities, conventions, and beyond. But a little less than a decade ago, the best a dyed-in-the-wool Nick Kid could hope for when it came to coverage of the so-called Golden Age (19831995) of the Nickelodeon network was the infrequent listicle, op-ed, or even rarer interview with an actual old-school Nick denizen. Pop culture historian Mathew Klickstein changed all of that when he forged ahead to track down and interview more than 250 classic Nick VIPs to at long last piece together the full wacky story of how Nickelodeon became the Only Network for You! Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Nickelodeon with this special edition of SLIMED! that includes a new introduction by Nick Arcades Phil Moore in addition to a foreword by Double Dares Marc Summers and an afterword by none other than Artie, the Strongest Man in the World himself (aka Toby Huss).After you get SLIMED!, youll never look at Nickelodeon the same way again. Mathew Klickstein might be the geek guru of the 21st century.Mark Mothersbaugh "Slimed! is the first oral history to chronicle the surprisingly complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of Nickelodeon, the first kids' network. Compiled from hundreds of original interviews with writers, actors, producers, artists, and other Nick alumni, this is the incredible story of Nickelodeon straight from those who made it happen"-- Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
