Netflix Has Just Released A 90s Themed Show And It Will Give You Instant Nostalgia

A 90s-themed TV show has just been put on Netflix and we are so excited.

The show is called, Everything Sucks!, and it's supposed to perfectly represent being a teenager in the 90s.

The show is set in 1996, in a town called Boring, Oregon, which is actually a real town by the way. It is a comedy that follows the lives of high school freshman, including all of our favorite things about the 90s.

Watching the trailer alone gave me instant nostalgia. The main characters in the show are in the AV Club and Drama Club and are made to work together on a low-budget movie project, throughout the season.  

The funniest thing about this show is that for the most part, the lead actors in the show weren't even alive in the 90s.

In an interview with Entertainment News, Peyton Kennedy and Jahi Winston, who are both actors in the show, talked about what they had to do to study for their roles. They talked about watching shows and movie that were legitimately from the 90s, as well as, studying fashion and music.

When I see this show, I can't help but think of Freaks and Geeks. This show was the same idea except that it was made in the late 90s and was based off of teens in the 80s. This show was amazing and I will never get over that it was canceled after one season.

So, will Everything Sucks! be the same? Netflix has just put on the entire first season, which is 10 half-hour episodes. So, hopefully it will last longer than Freaks and Geeks did.

No matter what happens with it, I am very excited to binge-watch it all in one night. Obviously, this will be a huge let down if it sucks, but so far I have heard good things so, I am staying positive. Even if it's bad, I am just glad they have finally made a show that relates to our teen years.

'Beverly Hills: 90210' Revival Looks Like It Will Feature A Lot Of Familiar Faces

By Tanya
Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

It's a sad day in the world of cartoons, as Nickelodeon has confirmed the passing of SpongeBob SquarePants creator Steven Hillenburg. The iconic TV show writer and producer with a long career and a hand in creating a lot of our favorite moments in animation. Hillenburg actually didn't go to school for television writing, instead studying "Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation with an emphasis on marine resources" according to Variety. Obviously, this would come into play later in his career. He started working in television after going back to school to study Experimental Animation, and eventually became a writer and

By Tanya
Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

By Tanya
Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

"Sunny day! Sweepin' the clouds away! On my way to where the air is sweet! Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" It's a song we all know off by heart no matter how old we are now because it was literally one of the most important parts of our days. Sesame Street was a staple in almost every household. Those Muppets were our teachers and our friends before we made our way into elementary school or daycare, and they gave us a lot of life lessons that taught us how to be a
