So, here's the deal. This is the newest requested video, but it is being blocked pretty seriously on Youtube. I've appealed the block, but where once Youtube would remove a block during an appeal, it will now remain blocked for the thirty days it takes for appeals to work. So, while we wait for that, I have uploaded a version to Vimeo, which I'm treating as a thirty day early access for all my patrons!
Simply put in the password (poparena). Hopefully the Youtu...

We look at Foundation, a seminal work from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, and ask ourselves, how likely is scientific regression? In a universe of intergalactic spaceships and energy weapons, is losing scientific comprehension even possible? And could it happen to us?

We flashback to the childhoods of Reinhard von Lohengramm and Siegfried Kircheis, and discuss how a society built around nobility might lead to certain, shall we shall, psychopathic behaviors.

Hey, who doesn't love music videos? With Nickelodeon now part of the MTV Networks, it might as well start looking a bit more like MTV, which includes playing the newest videos that kids want to see, AND a new look and attitude from Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman, the creators of "I Want My MTV"! We explore the birth of the orange splat, AND the Nick Jr. version of the show, brought to us by none other than Shelley Duvall.

Borrowed from ESPN and sponsored by Honeycomb cereal, Vic's Vacant Lot was Nickelodeon's next attempted at bringing sports and organized play to the channel. Was tennis instructor Vic Braden a good fit for a kid's show?

We've reached Nickelodeon 1984! Cy Schneider is out, Gerry Laybourne is in, and we see the introduction of the Nick Splat, commercial breaks and animation to the channel. We also discuss Powerhouse, a PBS show about a bunch of kids who hang out at a community center and solve crimes. It's surprisingly intense!

Skipper loves reading the Masked Mutant comic books, but then the villain's evil lair springs up out of nowhere in Skipper's hometown. What's going on? Is this a weird publicity stunt, or is the Masked Mutant real? Also, R.L. Stine doesn't understand comic books!

It seems Nickelodeon had some spooky foreign serials laying around, so why not put them together and make yourself a show? There's the Haunting of Cassie Palmer, about a girl who summons a ghost; Under the Mountain, where two psychic children face off against alien invaders; Children of the Stones, where a small English village is not what it seems; Into the Labyrinth, where two sorcerers battle across space and time; and The Witches and the Grinnygog, a mystery involving magic, gargoyles and...

Nickelodeon makes it's oldest pull ever by bringing back Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, television's first "science guy." We explore the original 1951 show, and see how times changed when Mr. Wizard came back in the 80s.

Nickelodeon picks up a Canadian show about young prodigies in the fields of music, sports and teddy bear collecting, starring Chris Makepeace and Keanu Reeves. But more than that, we explore 1983, where a LOT of things happened to Nickelodeon in-directly. How did Ronald Reagan, Mickey Mouse and Atari effect the channel? Let's find out!

It's after hours at the department store, and you know what that means? It's time for Jodie the display manager, Sam the security guard and Muffy the Mouse to bring Jeff, the store mannequin, to life! We explore the origins of Today's Special, how it was born from a once-in-a-lifetime deal between TVOntario and Roger's Cable, and just what made it tick.
