9 Facts About Kenan And Kel You'll Love More Than Orange Soda

By Meg
Kenan and Kel were the best comedy duo of the 90s, and it's not even close. Their show ran for a whopping 65 episodes, which for a show in the 90s is a decent stint. The friends shot to fame with the movie Good Burger, which is still quoted today. Though we watched Kenan and Kel grow up on screen, and continue to watch Kenan on Saturday Night Live, there are still some things you may not know about your fave 90s friends. 1. Californ-I-A Slash FilmThe first two seasons of Kenan & Kel were filmed in Florida at Universal Studios.

8 Facts About The Grinch You Won't Hate, Double Hate, Or Loathe Entirely

By Meg
When How The Grinch Stole Christmas first came out, I think it's fair to say we were all really skeptical. The cartoon version was such a classic, and remakes almost never turn out well. But, to our delight, The Grinch instantly became a classic. 17 years later, it's still one of the best Christmas movies ever made. Even though you probably know the film line-by-line, did you know these things about it?1. Different LookDr. SeussThe original Grinch was black and white with pink eyes. In the first animated version of the story, animator and director Chuck Jones decided to

The Truth About The "Trial Of The Century" That Hollywood Gets Wrong

By Meg
In one of the biggest scandals of the '90s, O.J. Simpson went from hero, to zero, somehow back up to hero, all while being on trial for a double murder. L.A. TimesNow, the scandal wasn’t really the murder (even though that’s a big deal), but moreso the fact that Simpson walked away a free man, despite damning evidence against him.Simpson started out as a football player, setting NCAA and NFL records with ease, and doing his best to inspire black youth across the country.Bleacher Report"I'm going to take the challenge of helping black

"Freaks and Geeks" Mini-Reunion Is Giving Us All The Feels

By Meg
Freaks and Geeks was the show we all needed as kids, but rarely appreciated. It was arguably the most relatable and accurate depiction of our extreme teen angst, mixed with a desire to fit in. We only got one season of the show, and frankly we deserved more. If Freaks and Geeks was still running today, we'd still be watching it. The show brought us many amazing quotes, such as:NBCNBCNBCNBCNBCNBCNBCThe cast was also insanely star-studded, though we didn't really know it at the time.

10 Facts About "Elf" You'll Love More Than Maple Syrup

By Meg
Before you get all "THAT'S NOT A THROWBACK" on me, let me remind you that Elf came out in 2003, making it 14 years old. That, in my books, is plenty of time for us to feel intense nostalgia over what is arguably Will Ferrell's best work ever.

1994 Best Buy Flyer Reminds Us Of Simple, Yet Terrifying Times

By Meg
Before the internet was super available, we had flyers (or paper inserts). We waited for that blessed Sunday paper when we could see all the upcoming deals. And when it was Christmas time? Look out. Those bad boys were getting cut out and glued to another sheet of paper, then promptly mailed off to Santa. Even though it doesn't seem like that long ago, the technology in 1994 was...less than ideal. What we thought was groundbreaking now seems like the stone age. This paper insert from Best Buy is no different. It's from the week of October 23, 1994,

Kate Winslet Reveals How She Should Have Saved Jack, And Who The Studio Wanted Instead Of Leo

By Meg
We've all seen Titanic. And even if you haven't, you know the iconic scene where Kate Winslet MURDERS Leonardo DiCaprio by letting him drown. Okay, so maybe she doesn't actually murder him, but she certainly doesn't help. That's gotta make her an accessory at least. For those of you unfamiliar with the scene, Jack and Rose (played by DiCaprio and Winslet) are drifting in the freezing cold ocean after the Titanic sinks. Rose is blessed with a door to hang onto while Jack is left to float in the icy water. Rose says she'll never let go, and yet somehow
