    You were super psyched to hear that Hey Dude will be airing on Nickelodeon in the "early morning hours" for the next few weeks, and you plan to catch at least a few episodes, even if it is at 6AM. Ted is dreamy.

    I can still sing the theme song to Pinwheel. It was a Nickelodeon show that no one else remembers.

    My Paula Abdul dance reeboks were rad! They had two tounges for absolutely no reason.

    -If you had a crush on She-Ra, Cheetahra, Lady J, or Princess Leia from Voltron
    -You knew the theme song to GI Joe, Thundercats and Ducktales
    -You finally got Shrinky Dinks and realized what a waste of time.
