Where Have All the Good Toons Gone?

Opinions October 21, 2009November 20, 2015 Torch Staff

When I reflect back on my childhood, a pleasant memory that comes to mind is watching Nickelodeon cartoons back in the ‘90s.

In the past week, I’ve been in a nostalgic mood. I’ve been watching YouTube videos of Nickelodeon promos and the commercials. The ones that would run just before “All That” came on. “All That” was the original Saturday Night Live for kids and, I believe one, of the greatest shows of the ’90s, along with “The Amanda Show”, “Rugrats”, “The Angry Beavers” and many more.

Flip-flops and shorts are starting to be packed away in boxes to take back to Mom and Dad’s house to be stored until spring rolls around. These items will be swapped for thick winter jackets and Ugg boots.

But who says your personal sense of fashion has to die along with the leaves? It’s definitely possible to stay warm and chic at the same time.
