Clay over at Educlaytion.com was dumb kind enough to let me hijack his blog for a day. He has a running commentary highlighting some of the nostalgia I, and other bloggers, readers, and living people, experienced growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, collectively known as Generation X.
It’s a brilliant series (entitled Gen X Life, and not Generation Xtra Awesome, which was my suggestion), and so far has touched on A.L.F., Z. Cavaricci’s, The Muppets, and toy stores. I know, kids, they actually had stores filled with just toys once upon a time, and it was even better stocked than Target!
So click over there to read my post on a modest little cable network, maybe you’ve heard of it, called Nickelodeon.
Meet the Buttrams 
I will pop over. I wonder if my Canadian-ness is going to be particularly evident.
Hope you had a great M’s Day!
I loved Nickelodeon as a kid. For some reason, they seemed so edgy, so cool, and the slightest bit rebellious even though they were very clean in retrospect. I actually still love Nickelodeon and enjoy some of the shows my kids watch now.
I haven’t gotten into the new Nick shows, like iCarly or the one starring Britney Spears’ little sister pre-teen pregnancy.
Now I’m more of a Disney Channel fan. I love me some Phineas and Ferb.
