Nineties kids’ TV shows had way sassier insults than any other decade, and we’re here to highlight the best of the best. Name calling? Check. Inappropriate “whore” puns? Double check. After the jump, we’ve unearthed ten classic zingers from Boy Meets World, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Explains it All, and more. Of course, some shows had more wisecracks than others (here’s looking at you, Pete & Pete), but we’ve done our best to gather nine great one-liners from nine nostalgia-inducing live action series. Check ‘em out after the jump, and feel free to insult us in the comments using the insults we missed. … Read More

The Best Holiday Episodes of Our Favorite ’90s TV Shows
Just as the ’90s loved velvet, chunky sweaters, and all-around winter wear, the ’90s also loved holiday-themed TV episodes. Seriously, though — there a lot of ‘em. Have we seen every single one? Of course not. How could we watch all that TV when we had hungry Tamagotchis to raise? (Just kidding-ish). So, we’re not here to subject you to a bold “best ’90s holiday episodes in existence” list. Instead, we’re going to take a trip down memory/Santa Claus lane to name ten ’90s-tastic holiday episodes that still resonate with us after all these years. Oh, and you know what else the ’90s loved? Old Navy, of course! Don’t forget — our pals at Old Navy are giving away a whopping $10,000 to the creator of the best holiday display, and $2500 to two runners up. So, between now and December 9th, submit a photo of your over-the-top decorations here and let Internet voters work their magic. Feel free to take some holiday display tips from the following ’90s TV specials. Christmas garbage trees à la Pete and Pete, anyone? … Read More

’90s Teen TV Characters: Where Are They Now?
All your friends are getting married. Some of them are having kids. And now, in case you didn’t already feel like an overgrown child whose life is passing him by, Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence have a preteen daughter. Yes, for the past week, the internet has been abuzz with the news that a Boy Meets World sequel is in the works. Called Girl Meets World, it will focus on young Riley Matthews and her “edgy friend,” Maya. While we’re not sure that revisiting ABC’s TGIF lineup is the best idea, the update on Cory and Topanga has made us wonder what some of our other favorite ’90s teen TV characters might be up to in 2012. After the jump, we check in on (by which we mean, “we imagine”) what they’ve done since last we saw them. … Read More

Watch Video of Drunk Kimmy Gibler Doing Karaoke at the ‘Full House’ Reunion
Readers, prepare to feel very old. It has been 25 years since Full House debuted on ABC, and as People magazine reports, the entire cast — minus the Olsens — recently reunited in LA to celebrate the sitcom that gave late ’80s/early’90s tweens something to do on Friday nights. The party sounds like… Read More
TV’s Most Random Vacation Episodes
Fresh off our mid-week holiday, we began reminiscing about some of our favorite TV vacation episodes, whose details will probably remain in the “useless pieces of information” part of our brain until we die. These episodes usually weren’t great, but they’re hard to forget because they were so bizarre. Like the time Married with Children went medieval-fantasy in London, or when the Russo brothers got their own international black market sub-plot in the four-part special “Blossom in Paris.” And when, in one of the most commonly misremembered episodes in TV history, the Tanners went to Hawaii and got trapped on a deserted island. As The Onion pointed out a few years ago, the Beach Boys were not, repeat not there — although the musical denouement “Rock-a Hula” is more than worth re-visiting. Click through to see Uncle Jesse’s island concert, as well as the TV-vacations so random we swore they were conjured by the imaginations of our younger selves, until we did some fact-checking and discovered that yep, they all happened. Got a favorite you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments! … Read More
A Sitcom Map of the USA
Let’s play a word association game. What comes to mind upon reading the words, “Bel Air, CA”? If you’re anything like us, you just took a minute to tell us a story all about how your life got flipped, turned upside down. Are we right or are we right? What about the words, “Scranton, PA”? Did you start humming this? All across the United States, there are awesome little towns that will always be known as sitcom towns. Was a show actually filmed there? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean we can’t brag about growing up near Cory Matthews or the Tanner family. With a little help from Google Maps, we’ve plotted TV towns all across the USA on one handy map. Check out our sweet sitcom cartography skills after the jump, and plan your next road trip accordingly. … Read More
Matchmaking for TV Teens: 9 Fictional Couples We’d Like to See
Is your boyfriend in love with his cousin? Are you in love with your neighbor? Is your neighbor in love with a jerk? Are you a cartoon? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you might be a lovelorn teenage character on a TV series. When we brought you our favorite ’90s teen power couples, we neglected to mention the best friends, classmates, ex-lovers, and siblings of these perfect couples — the characters who, more often than not, are majorly lacking in the love department. This phenomenon is typically blamed on awkwardness, fickleness, or ugly duckling syndrome, but what if these misfits’ true TV match is just on another series? With Valentine’s Day less than a month away, we’re pairing lonely teenage TV characters with other lonely TV characters. Some are from current shows, others are from yesteryear, but all deserve a little more love than they receive. Check out the matches we’ve made after the jump, then hit the comments to recommend others. It’s pretty fun. … Read More
10 Totally Slammin’ TV Bands from the ’90s
There’s no denying that ’90s television was chock-full of dope fictional bands, and it’s about time we cranked up our nostalgia and got jiggy with the fake musical groups of yesteryear. Some were boy bands, others were punks, but most just settled into their oversize, unwashed flannel shirts with some bangin’ alt-rock vibes. Remember that time Little Pete and meter-man Mel formed the Blowholes? Or when Doug and Skeeter ran into the Beets at the Honker Burger? What about that time Jordan Catalano, like, serenaded Angela Chase with that song written about her hair, or something? …Not! (Hold up, did we even use that right? It’s been a while.) Regardless, check out some totally fake ’90s TV bands after the jump, home-skillets. They’ve missed you. … Read More
