Slimed!

I am a child of the 90s. I grew up on Rugrats, Clarissa Explains It All and Double Dare, in other words, I watched Nickelodeon. Therefore, upon seeing Slimed, childhood nostalgia kicked in.

Slimed is told in a segment of interviews from Actors, Producers and all the dreamers behind the scenes. I found the order of said interviews to be discombobulating, it jumped around from topic to topic with no real flow. Okay we're talking about Double Dare...but are now discussing Rugrats, how did we segue into that?

I did find it interesting to learn the making of Nickelodeon, the creative process, why Skeeter was blue and the "secret sauce" in Slime. Unfortunately, these fragments didn't save it and think it may have been better as a documentary.

I stopped watching Nick in '96 at age eleven. My family moved, the station was no longer channel 19, it seemed like the opt time for a clean break. Like any eleven year old who is slowly growing up, I slowly lost interest in this Oral History of Nickelodeon and became a blip on my radar.
