The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story

Only a cursory summary of adolescent relationship with media, more a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. In my case an easy target. I am this demographic. I was and am fond of the vast majority of the shows recollected herein. This makes the idealist in me feel warm and fuzzy, but still the cynic is sad and resentful at growing old. Those are strong reactions, even if they are borne out in a collage of archive footage rather than great documentarian insight.

Very much a typical nostalgia doc that mainly exists to congratulate its audience, but it's still a nice trip down memory lane and a celebration of a fascinating generation of creators.
