An Entertainment Weekly Best Tell-All of 2013!
One of Parade Magazine's Best Books About Movies/TV of 2013!
The behind the scenes story of the network that shaped a generation
Slimed! is the first oral history to chronicle the surprisingly
complex, wonderfully nostalgic, and impressively compelling story of
Nickelodeon, the first kids' network. Beginning as a DIY start-up in the
late seventies, the network forged ahead through the early eighties with
a tiny band of young artists and filmmakers, transforming itself into a
cultural force in the late eighties and nineties that would change
everything about cable television, television in general, animation, and
children's entertainment. 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. Whether you've always wondered if Sam ever fell out of
Clarissa's window, what the real story was behind Ren & Stimpy, how an
entire network was built on kids-first entertainment, or you just want
to relive some of your favorite television memories, it's time to get
Slimed!
