Before 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
Nick...told 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 (1983-1995) 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
VIP's 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 Arcade's
Phil Moore in addition to a foreword by Double Dare's Marc Summers and
an afterword by none other than Artie, the Strongest Man in the World
himself (aka Toby Huss).
After you get SLIMED!, you'll never look at Nickelodeon the same way
again.
