No One Remembers This Mario TV Show, But It Might Be The Strangest Thing Ever Made

By Tanya
No one seems to remember this bizarre piece of television history. Everyone who I have ever asked about this show denies that it existed, but obviously it was a real thing because I am not capable of making it up, it's too weird. Maybe people are just trying to forget it because of how awful it was? What show am I talking about? The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! And yes, the exclamation point is part of the title. The show only lasted one season, but wow did it ever leave an impression (on those who haven't blocked it out)

By Tanya
The Weekenders was one of the greatest shows that was on One Saturday Morning. It was on in the same block as Recess and Pepperann, but there was always something that made it special. Sure the characters were amazing, the storylines were fun and the pizza place was ever changing, but the one that that made it unique is something no one notices until it's pointed out.

You Would Never Guess What Went On Behind The Scenes Of This Crazy 90s Show

By Tanya
Dinosaurs was one of the strangest but most wonderful TV shows of the 90s. Jim Hensen developed an anthropomorphic dinosaur family just before he passed away, and after his death the show ended up getting made so we got to witness all of its greatness. The Sinclair family contained Earl, Fran, Robbi, Charlene and Baby along with Fran's mother Ethyl and they were all fantastic. The dinosaurs themselves were quite impressive. They were huge costumes that were worn but the puppet heads moved a lot and made them look pretty great. Seeing the actors in these costumes must have been

More Than 25 Years Later The Feud Is Still Going On, But What Started It In The First Place?

By Tanya
Some shows are just too wonderful to leave in the past. The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air was one of the greatest sitcoms of the 90s and even though it is still loved, there has always been this big mystery surrounding one cast member in particular. When Aunt Viv was recast in the fourth season, everyone was confused. Janet Hubert played the character perfectly well in the the first three seasons, but in season four, Daphne Maxwell Reid stepped in. While both Aunt Vivs were good in their own way, a lot of people wondered why Hubert left. The story has

The Truth Behind Why This California Super Group Dried Up

By Tanya
There are few commercials that are good enough to spawn an entire sensation, but The California Raisins did just that. It all started as a campaign to get more people to eat raisins. Seriously, that's how it happened. Apparently the California Raisin Advisory Board said that "we have tried everything but dancing raisins singing 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine" so they gave that a try and wow, did it ever work. The ads started with some claymation raisins singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and everyone seemed to go nuts over it. So much so that these little
