Hang On, Popular Mechanics For Kids Is How Old?!

By Tanya
Growing up in the 90s, especially in Canada, there was one show that was the most important part of your day. Popular Mechanics For Kids was the absolute best way to learn about all the coolest things you could imagine. The show started off with Jay Baruchel and Elisha Cuthbert as the main hosts.

By Meg
When Disney announced a Duck Tales revival, people collectively lost their minds. With a star-studded cast coming in for the remake, it's possibly of the most anticipated revivals to date. Of course, there's the classic theme song (WEEOO!) which many people have tried to cover and make their own. But let's be honest, the original is the best.
