Can You Name These Dexter's Lab Characters?

By Meg
"Enter at your own peril, past the bolted doorwhere impossible things may happen that the world has never seen before."Dexter's Laboratory was one of the most entertaining cartoon shows of the 90s. Dexter's strange accent resonated with us for some reason, even though the rest of his family didn't have one??? Whatever. We believed it. His experiments always went terribly (THANKS, DEE DEE) but we watched all the same. Now, 21 years after it aired, can you still name all the characters from the iconic 90s show?

18 Times ER Ripped Your Heart Out And Stomped On It

By Meg
I don't think I've ever encountered a person who has never seen an episode of ER. Even if they've only seen one or two episodes, most people can give you a basic rundown of the characters. The show was on for 15 seasons and, in my extremely humble opinion, was the best thing to ever happen to TV, bar none. It had romance, comedy, drama, suspense, and straight up tragedy. I'm not ashamed to say I ugly cried at least once per season. It's like the writers specifically set out to hurt us. To this day, I don't understand how

Patrick Dempsey Is Aging Like Fine Wine

By Meg
Patrick Dempsey is just...he's just so so great. The actor got his start in the 80s classic, Can't Buy Me Love. Who didn't want to ride off with Patrick Dempsey on that lawnmower? He was just so flippin' charming. Dempsey became known for his perfect hair and his equally perfect dimples and his even MORE perfect baby blue eyes. In the 80s he was considered heart-throb royalty.Then in 2005 he starred as Derek Shepherd in the long-running Grey's Anatomy. He earned the nickname McDreamy among show characters, as well as fans. He was handsome at both points in

Ed Sheeran Covers This Iconic Song And People Are Unsure What To Do With Themselves

By Meg
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air is possibly the most iconic TV show to come from the 90s? It launched Will Smith's career and is still watched religiously today. What's even more iconic about it is the theme song. Any 90s kid can rhyme it off no hesitation. 90s baby Ed Sheeran is no different. The wildly talented ginger musician was on The Capital Evening Show in the UK, promoting his new music that was just released. A fan called in and asked Sheeran to sing the Fresh Prince theme and he obliged. At first Ed looks like he's hesitant, but

By Meg
In August 2001, we lost singer, model, dancer, actress, and all around wonderful person Aaliyah.The R&B songstress was signed to a record deal at the age of 12 and released her first album at the age of 14. The album, Age Ain't Nothing But A Number, sold 74,000 copies in its first week. Aaliyah would go on to have a promising career, with four albums and a movie gig under her belt before her death. She also had a secret (and illegal) marriage to R. Kelly at age 15, but we digress. Tragically, Aaliyah was killed in

18 Creepy Things From The 90s Responsible For Making You A Paranoid Mess

By Meg
One noticeable thing about 90s kids is they're either extremely into scary stuff, or they would rather never leave the house than deal with it again. There is no in between. When you look back on the "entertainment" we had to keep ourselves busy, there's really no questioning where this came from. Is there a serial killer behind the shower curtain? What if I open this door and cockroaches come pouring out? What if my dog is actually an alien spying on me? All valid questions. All somehow influenced by the 90s. Scroll this list and be prepared for some

Here's Your First Look At Joseph Fiennes As Michael Jackson

By Meg
So...this is a real thing. About a year ago, Sky Arts announced that Joseph Fiennes (a white man) would be playing Michael Jackson (a black man) in a new series called Urban Myths. People were legitimately upset, understandably confused how a white man would be taking on this role. But Fiennes, who is a well-credited actor, didn't see any issues with a white man playing the role. "[Jackson] definitely had an issue – a pigmentation issue – and that's something I do believe," he told Entertainment Tonight. "He was probably closer to my color than his original color."But Fiennes did

Flashback: Serial Killer Appeared On "The Dating Game" Mid-Spree

By Meg
When you think of "The Dating Game", you think of the charming bachelors and the bashful contestants, right?You probably don't think "Hey! Remember that serial killer?" Well you should. Rodney Alcala, one of the most infamous serial killers in U.S. history, appeared on "The Dating Game" in 1978, just two years before he would be sentenced to death for the murder of 12-year-old Robin Samsoe. His exact body count is unknown, but police estimate the now-73-year-old man killed at least DOZENS of women, with some counts even putting it in the hundreds. But before he was known for
