CALLING ALL PETS!

COMEDIAN GABRIEL “FLUFFY” IGLESIAS TO HOST NICKELODEON’S UNLEASHED,
ALL-NEW COMEDIC PET TALENT COMPETITION SERIES
PREMIERES FRIDAY, JAN. 8, AT 6 P.M. (ET/PT) ON YTV IN CANADA

Judges Peyton List, Preacher Lawson and Utkarsh Ambudkar to Decide
Which Acts are the Most Entertaining Pets Around


Share it: @YTV

From the backyard to the big stage, the search is on for America’s most entertaining pets in Nickelodeon’s all-new comedic competition show, Unleashed (10 episodes).  Hosted by superstar comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, the series brings the most impressive animal acts together to compete on stage in front of a jury comprised of kids and celebrity judges Peyton List (Cobra Kai), Preacher Lawson (America’s Got Talent, Connecting) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Brittany Runs a Marathon, Free Guy) for the title of “Most Entertaining Pet” of the night.  Unleashed will premiere on YTV Canada on Friday, January 8, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

Said Iglesias, “We have a squirrel that can water ski, enough said! You have to watch Nickelodeon’s Unleashed!”


Each episode of Unleashed will feature three animal-loving pet owners and their loyal companions as they take the stage to showcase their pet’s extraordinary talents.  From jaw-dropping tricks to hilarious skills, the pet contestants demonstrate their unique abilities… but anything can happen once the cameras start rolling.  Acts throughout the season include a water-skiing squirrel, a cheerleading goat, a hedgehog with a knack for agility tricks and a soccer-playing horse.  As each act performs, the celebrity judges and kid jury give their reactions before voting to crown the “Most Entertaining Pet” of the night.

Iglesias is no stranger to Nickelodeon, having appeared in season 6 of Nickelodeon's hit sketch comedy series All That in 2000.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’: Aang’s Voice Actor Zach Tyler Eisen Reveals He Does Keep Up With the Fandom

$
0

It’s hard to imagine that it's nearly been 16 years since Avatar: The Last Airbender premiered its first episode on Nickelodeon. Frozen in ice and time, Aang emerged as the young hero the world didn’t realize it was waiting for.


The beloved character was voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen who was roughly the same age as Aang when he landed the gig. Though he stays low-key and fans joke about him vanishing like the Avatar, the former ATLA star recently opened up about his time on the show, its resurgence on Netflix, and love for the fandom.

After ATLA and its sequel The Legend of Korra both ended their runs on Nickelodeon, fans could stay abreast of the series’ cast and creators through event panels and celebrations. Comic-Con, Sac Anime, and Twitch have all hosted The Last Airbender events, but Zach Tyler Eisen often skipped opportunities to sit on a panel.


That changed with the cast reunion hosted by StageIt on Jan. 9. He joined other Gaang members of Team Avatar and shared why he stays out of the spotlight and what the series meant to him.

Eisen said that after the show ended, he went to high school and wanted to be a “normal kid,” and not work as an actor anymore. “In terms of what the show meant to me — so much. And it’s all come back to me this year thanks to Netflix,” he said.

Eisen stated he’s watched the entire show for the first time since working on it and had a blast. Korra is next on his watchlist.

Eisen stays in tune with the ‘ATLA’ fandom

When asked about his low profile on social media, Eisen said he keeps his accounts private but is aware of the fun chatter about the show. “My favorite thing that happens every now and again is I’ll just be scrolling on whatever app and I’ll see an Avatar meme or something that’s completely unrelated, and I love it,” he shared.

He also possesses some ATLA comics and fan art, including a piece depicting the hilarious cactus juice scene. Eisen thanked the creative artists who might have been watching the reunion for the gifts.

He also said that he sees the Reddit threads, gets tagged about the series, and his friends who are fans of ATLA are always sharing the latest internet scoop with him. He appreciates all of it.

But Eisen prefers to stay behind the scenes in his personal life, and it just so happens that these days, he works in the entertainment industry behind the camera too.  

Eisen did 1 interview in 2020

Eisen surprised fans when he popped up on the Ted Jones World vlog for an interview in June 2020. While he and the host talked about many things, he did relay that watching the series brought back so many memories of being in the booth and acting out the scenes.

Eisen said it stirred up old emotions and recalled Aang is probably the biggest role he’s ever had in his acting career. Now, fans may be able to spot him on rare occasions at ATLA online events, but be sure to follow Dante Basco and other cast members on social media for updates.

ViacomCBS Consolidates Nickelodeon, Awesomeness Live-Action Production

Nickelodeon's Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin to oversee live-action for both brands as Awesomeness’ Shelley Zimmerman exits


ViacomCBS’s Kids & Family division is consolidating all of its live-action production under one team, the company announced on Tuesday, January 12.

The team, led by Nickelodeon executives Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, will oversee development, current series and studio content for both the Nickelodeon and Awesomeness brands. Syrinthia Studer will continue in her role overseeing the combined live-action film studio. All three report to ViacomCBS Kids & Family president Brian Robbins.

The move to streamline the division’s live-action operations comes as Shelley Zimmerman, executive vice president of live-action studios for Awesomeness, has opted not to renew her contract and step down from her position and exit the company after nearly six years.


The move brings Phelan back into the Awesomeness realm, having joined Nickelodeon’s as senior vice president of live-action scripted content from Awesomeness in late 2018. Olin joined her in late 2020.

Current live-action series at Nick include the All That revival, the Henry Danger spinoff Danger Force and Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, among others. Recent live-action series from Awesomeness include PEN15 and Light as a Feather at Hulu and the two-season drama Trinkets at Netflix.

“As our content grows in demand from both our own audiences and from third-party platforms, consolidating all scripted live-action under Shauna and Zack streamlines our process to make the biggest creative impact possible,” Robbins said in a statement. “Syrinthia, Shauna and Zack are a formidable team of terrific storytellers, and they’re delivering an exciting slate of films and series that have been tailored to the full expanse of demos we serve, from kids to Gen Z.”

He continued, “Shelley and I have worked together throughout the years, and she is an incredibly talented and savvy creative executive. We wish her the absolute best and are so grateful for her leadership and contributions to Awesomeness’s studio success with hits like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, PEN15 and Trinkets.”

AMMF's ‘Cielito Lindo’ Mariachi Band Faces Eviction — But Neighbors Step Up To Help

$

Chicagoans have already raised nearly $5,000 for the family. "It almost doesn’t feel real," Juan Lucero said.

The Lucero family, who live in Ravenswood, make up "Cielito Lindo," a modern Mariachi band in Chicago.

RAVENSWOOD, Chicago — Chicagoans are stepping up to help the Luceros, the city’s “von Trapp” musical family, from being evicted.

As of Wednesday (Jan. 13) morning, 20 people had donated $4,750, but organizers hope to raise $30,000. The money will help the Luceros cover six months of unpaid back rent as well as future rent until they can begin earning regular income again, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has dealt a major blow to their work.

The Luceros — father Juan, mother Susy and seven children — make up Cielilto Lindo, a mariachi folk band that has performed everywhere from Alcala’s Western Wear in West Town to Nickelodeon's stage in Los Angelos.

But in March, COVID-19 led to the cancellation of events and closing of theaters, cutting the family’s regular income by nearly half and imperiling their home.

The fundraiser organizer, Bob Farster, is a neighbor of the Luceros in Ravenswood. The family is very grateful to Farster and all the supporters who have donated thus far, Juan Lucero said.

“It almost doesn’t feel real,” he told Block Club Chicago. “Leaving Chicago is not an option. We’ve been here five years. Even with the pandemic, there’s nowhere else we want to be … . There’s nowhere else we can be ourselves.”


Cielito Lindo, which means “beautiful heaven” in Spanish, performs traditional Mexican music. The family’s seven children range in age from 7 to 18, with all living at home.

The family moved to Chicago from New Mexico five years ago. Susy Lucero grew up in Logan Square and Avondale, and the family felt they’d find more success as musicians in the city. They sold their house in New Mexico and moved all seven of their children to Lincoln Square. They eventually moved into their current home in Ravenswood.

Since moving to Chicago, the Luceros’ rise to fame has been rapid.

The family has performed at Bulls games, galas, street festivals and on television programs, including Nickelodeon's America’s Most Musical Family (under the name Lucero Garcia). They are routinely booked to perform at weddings, quinceañeras, birthday parties and other community events. Downtown businesses often book the band, too.


“I feel definitely Chicago … all of us as individuals, we can be ourselves here,” Lucero said. “It’s really easy to find your niche here in Chicago and be supported, find resources to be successful.”

But during the pandemic, the Luceros have pivoted to virtual performances. On Wednesday morning, hours after the GoFundMe was created, the family drove to the United Center, where they taped two performances of the National Anthem for upcoming Bulls events.

Zoom-based serenades begin at $50. The family performed several outdoor socially-distanced concerts this summer. A Venmo “tip jar” was established under the name @Juan-Lucero-77.

While every dollar helps, this income pales in comparison to what the family typically earns in a year, Lucero said.


“We’re grateful that we have some of our business left and some income left,” he said. “But unfortunately, as musicians and especially … as musical families go, it’s not enough. We were basically barely making it beforehand.”

Going into 2020, the family had finally gotten to a place where they could begin saving for a home. But with the pandemic, that money started going straight to bills, Lucero said.

If the Luceros are evicted, nine people who are dedicated to helping Chicago will be without a home, Farster wrote on the online fundraiser.

“After generously spreading joy and lifting people up through their music for years, now, the family — which has been likened to the von Trapps — is left needing help,” Farster said. “We can’t stand by and let this happen to this remarkable family.


“Through our years of friendship, I can honestly say that these are the nicest people you will ever meet. The kids are so polite, so smart and so hardworking. The parents are kind, generous, talented and, right now, uncertain about what’s next.”

Learn more about the family’s virtual music services here. Those wishing to reach out to the Lucero family for booking opportunities should call or text 312-721-9115 or email hello@cielitolindo.co.

Will the 'Clarissa Explains It All' Reboot Happen? Melissa Joan Hart Tells All


In the last decade, a number of millennial-favorite sitcoms have made much-awaited returns to TV — Full House, Boy Meets World, and Saved By the Bell are only a few 90s favorites that received revivals and spinoffs 20 or so years later. However, there have been quite a few rumored reboots that unfortunately never came to fruition, such as Lizzie McGuire and Clarissa Explains It All.

If you don't recall, Clarissa Explains It All was a 90s Nickelodeon classic with a tentative reboot that has been in the works for quite a while now. And apparently, we aren't the only ones eagerly awaiting its return — Distractify was lucky enough to speak with the original star, Melissa Joan Hart, in a phone interview on the status of the series, and what else the beloved actor has been doing recently.

Here's what we know about the status of the Clarissa Explains It All reboot:

Clarissa Explains It All aired on Nickelodeon for five seasons from 1991 to 1994 with Melissa Joan Hart as the titular Clarissa Darling, navigating life as a typical American teenager. Throughout each episode, Clarissa consistently hits the fourth wall to tell viewers how she's feeling and give her side of the story in regard to various life events, from going on her first date to buying her first car.

As Clarissa was Melissa's first major TV role, the actor revealed that she was incredibly excited to see the series return as a reboot almost three decades after the series finale and she was quite involved with its rumored comeback. However, despite her efforts to make it come to life, it sounds like it may not happen.


"[The Clarissa reboot] has been talked about for a long while, and the ball is kind of in Nickelodeon’s court," Melissa revealed. "We worked out some contracts, but it never came to fruition. So, I’m really not sure where that is right now."

She says she still holds out hope for Clarissa to make a highly anticipated return, but it sounds iffy, to say the least.

"But I mean, as soon as I'm allowed to, I'll yell hit from the rooftops," she says. "But, I don't really see it happening anytime soon."

Despite the reboot's murky future, Melissa Joan Hart is still busy working.

Although fans will be devastated that Clarissa may not come back to network TV for the foreseeable future, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star hasn't stopped pursuing her passion of working in front of and behind the camera. The sitcom star had the opportunity to direct, act in, and produce a handful of Lifetime Christmas movies at the beginning of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) coronavirus lockdowns, which aired in the 2020 holiday season — but she has a few more projects in the works.

"I'll be heading out to Los Angeles next week to direct an episode of Young Sheldon, so I’m excited to get back to work. I'm actually working on another series right now involving something else for myself that's a reboot of another show, of a not-well-known show from the U.K.," she says.

"I'm not allowed to say more [about the project] right now, but hopefully we'll have more news later on this year... we just need a writer to figure out what the U.S. version of the series is, and then we'll be able to start production."

Melissa also recently returned to her Nickelodeon roots by voicing Becca Chang in the network's hit animated series, The Casagrandes.

Clarissa Explains It All can be streamed on CBS All Access/Paramount+.

From Showbiz CheatSheet:

Melissa Joan Hart’s Favorite ’90s Trend and Which of Her Characters Taught Her How To Be a Nonconformist

’90s icon Melissa Joan Hart is perhaps best known for her roles in Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But she’s been acting since she was a child and hasn’t stopped. So her resume is as long as the line of witches Sabrina’s powers hail from. We spoke to Hart on Jan. 12 about the ’90s and how life has changed since the golden era of slap bracelets.

Melissa Joan Hart on ‘Clarissa Explains It All,’ ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch,’ and the ’90s
Clarissa Explains It All came on the air in 1991. In the three-season sitcom, Clarissa gave it to the audience straight—the way the world works, that is. But Clarissa did more than explain things, she taught Hart that it was OK to be herself.

“I always loved having my own style and, from Clarissa, I learned that that’s OK,” she told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “The great thing about working on Clarissa was that I was surrounded by adults. Right at the most fragile point of childhood when you’re discovering who you are and you’re feeling that pressure to conform, is right when I got a job with adults that didn’t care what I looked like, what I wore, what music I listened to, what boy I kissed that weekend, or whatever.”

“All they cared about was that I was nice to them and did the work I was there to do,” she continued. “And so I learned very quickly it’s about what’s inside, not outside.” 

As for if there will be a Clarissa Explains It All reboot: “The ball is in Nickelodeon’s court.”

After Clarissa Explains It All came Sabrina The Teenage Witch in 1996. At the time, Hart’s favorite trend was “backless shirts.”

“We had a lot of backless shirts in the ’90s,” she reminisced. “I love that, with a little strap just around your shoulder!”

Hart hasn’t seen much of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. But, from what she has caught, she can tell the adaptation is a far cry from the original.

“It’s so different,” she said. “You know, ours was a family show—magic and comedy, feel-good, everyone’s accepted kind of thing. And their show is definitely like a YA audience, more sexy, scary, witchcraft.”

Melissa Joan Hart: Former Witch, Current Mom

Today, Hart has graduated from her beloved combat boots to a pair of sneakers in an effort to play the part of Mom as comfortably as possible—”My favorite role yet!” according to her Twitter bio.

Reflecting on this past year, Hart says she has a new appreciation for teachers (she never thought she’d be homeschooling her kids). 2020 was a hectic time at home for Hart, as it was for so many families.

“That’s why I partnered up with Lunchables because they just make my life so much easier and the kids are happy with what they’re eating,” she said.

The Melissa & Joey actor has teamed up with Lunchables to cover the cost of one mom’s groceries for a year ($10K worth) as well as a year-long membership with Instacart Express delivery.

While Hart occasionally uses old episodes she starred in to teach lessons to her kids (she used Sabrina‘s “Pancake Madness” to teach her boys about the dangers of too much sugar), Hart’s children have not seen much of their mom’s work.

“They won’t watch me,” she said. “It’s weird. I tried to get them to watch Holiday in Handcuffs for Christmas this year but they were like, ‘Eh, it’s your movie. I don’t know.’ You know, I’m Mom. I’m not cool.” 

Moving forward, Hart wants her family to focus on “us all being a little nicer to each other” in the new year.

“We have quick tempers and short patience and I want us to work on stretching that out a little bit more,” she said. “Give each other a little more flexibility to not be perfect, to make mistakes, to say ‘I’m sorry.’”

And once it’s safe to do so, Hart can’t wait to “go to restaurants, hug my friends, and travel. I have like six trips planned.”

We hope her vacuum’s charged.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Voice Cast Discuss Netflix's Live-Action Adaptation During Virtual Reunion

$

Yip-Yip! The voice cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender virtually reunited Saturday evening (Jan 9.) to discuss the beloved Nickelodeon animated series and its pop culture legacy more than a decade after the program left the air. Also present was the show's voice director, Andrea Romano, who explained why the project was so groundbreaking for the world of animation. According to her, the project really helped the "anime style" become appreciated as a "respected ... art-form" for kids' programming.


"They turned a corner in a big way," she said, going on to reference the fact that while classic anime (like Gigantor and Kimba the White Lion) had beautiful animation, their "voice-work was God-awful." She continued: "[Creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko] knew from the get-go ... what was going to happen 60 episodes later. They had it mapped out in stories, three books of 20 episodes each and had it figured out what each of you [the actors] would be doing. That's pretty remarkable."

Discussion eventually turned to the much-maligned live-action Avatar film directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Turns out, the OG crew isn't very fond of the movie either.

"It was very disappointing," Romano said. "It's not good, I'm sorry. The first thing is: we were so good with what we set up. That's it. Because it was animation and because we were setting the bar...I believe, too, and I don't know, [but] I believe there was an ego involved about, 'This is mine and I'm doing it this way. I don't care that you two guys created this incredibly successful series and have all this information you could give me. I'm pretty much not gonna listen to you and do what I wanna do.' Which is fine, that's his prerogative, but that's why [it didn't work]."

"They also didn't really write a feature script," added Jack DeSena, voice of Sokka. "They just condensed a whole season of television in a way that made it all feel really [rushed]."

Netflix is currently trying its hand at a live-action version reboot, which lost the involvement of DiMartino and Konietzko this past summer. 

"I just don't know how you fulfill that any better than this show did," said Dee Bradley Baker, the voice of Appa and Momo. "I'm open to whatever they do with the live-action series, which I know nothing about, but it's like, 'Well, how do you do this better than the way that it was rendered on this show?' I don't know how you do that! I hope you can." Baker also described Airbender as "the high watermark, in all aspects, of storytelling and voice acting." He even admitted that he'll "never be in a better show."

"Especially when you're doing the exact same series, but as a live-action," added Olivia Hack, the voice of Ty Lee. "You're not adding onto it or expanding the universe. You're doing the same thing, which feels redundant, but I don't know. I'm not saying anything."

All three seasons of Avatar; Shyamalan's film adaptation; and all four seasons of the sequel series, The Legend of Korra, are currently available to stream on Netflix. Both series are also available to stream on CBS All Access (Paramount+).


"The great thing for me is being able to call up a lot of my co-stars from the show and hang out with them online, talk about the show and watch it with the fans," Dante Basco, voice of the Fire Nation's Prince Zuko told SYFY WIRE last June when asked about his Avatar rewatch. "It's great to get everyone's idea of what they remember from the show and how it fits today. It's ironic that it comes out now during these crazy times we're living in and is poignant for a lot of things happening right now."

Mark Hamill ("Fire Lord Ozai") wasn't able to make an appearance at the reunion, but sent his love via moderator, Sydney Shulz. In addition, Mae Whitman ("Katara") filmed the following heartfelt message ahead of a time:

"I was only 11 or 12 when we started and ... we all just kind of became a family immediately. We just fell more and more in love with each other as more cast members got added and more people joined the show," the actress said. "I think a big part of it was that we knew we were working on something that was really meaningful to us. We really believed in it and any time there is real love involved, I think it makes a project a million times better ... For me, being so young, it was one of my first introductions into spirituality and mediation and it was just so empathetic ... I learned so much recording every episode, from the people involved, and from [the fans]. I feel like all the Avatar fans that I've met have been so considerate and empathetic and kind and compassionate and positive. They believe in the right thing and they want to fight for it. I just really appreciate you guys and I think if there's anything I would take away from Avatar is the concept of loving yourself, loving the people around you, and healing your bubble the best you can through love and then slowly watching that expand outwards and grow and grow and grow until that whole bubble of love can take over the world. I really am so thankful that I got to be a part of this show and I appreciate you guys for still tuning in."


Avatar: The Last Airbender cast worries Netflix remake will be “redundant”

Netflix is making a live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but the original cast wonders if it’s necessary when the original show is so good as is.
All three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender arrived on Netflix in May 2020 and I promptly watched the entire series for the very first time, and I was blown away. Avatar: The Last Airbender is by far one of the most poignant and well-executed children’s shows I’ve ever seen.

The show began in 2005, but we have yet to have a live-action adaptation that fans that anybody liked. M. Night Shyamalan did adapt the first season as a movie in 2010, but it’s widely considered to be terrible. Then, in 2018, Netflix announced that it was produce a live-action TV series based on the show, and even got animated series creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko on board as showrunners. But the series hit a rough patch when that duo ended their involvement with the production last summer.

Over the weekend, the original voice cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender had a virtual reunion, and the conversation turned to Netflix’s show. As it turns out, the cast aren’t any more certain how they feel about it than the fans.

Dee Bradley Baker, who played Appa and Momo, wonders how Netflix will make the series unique if it’s just a remake of the original:

"I just don’t know how you fulfill that any better than this show did. I’m open to whatever they do with the live-action series, which I know nothing about, but it’s like, ‘Well, how do you do this better than the way that it was rendered on this show?’ I don’t know how you do that! I hope you can."

Similarly, Olivia Hack, the voice of Ty Lee, wondered about the creative integrity of the remake:

"Especially when you’re doing the exact same series, but as a live-action. You’re not adding onto it or expanding the universe. You’re doing the same thing, which feels redundant, but I don’t know. I’m not saying anything."

While I’m interested to see how the live-action series comes together, I agree that it seems rather redundant. It feels like Netflix is just trying to profit off of the recent surge in the show’s popularity. Each season of Avatar: The Last Airbender was well-written and drove the plot forward while exploring themes like justice, war, imperialism, destiny and oppression. In short, Avatar was so good that I’m not sure how making a live-action adaptation will improve it in any way.

In lieu of a shot-for-shot live-action remake of the show, I would much rather see a new series set in the Avatar universe. There were so many Avatars before Aang and Korra that I’d love to learn about, like Kuruk, whose beloved was stolen by Koh the Face Stealer, or Kyoshi, whose elaborate costume was a clever nod to her parents, as well as the inspiration for the Kyoshi Warriors.

On the other hand, it would be great to see who becomes Avatar after sequel series The Legend of Korra, especially after the spiritual connection between all of the Avatars was unintentionally severed. Even if another series didn’t focus on the Avatar, I’ve always wanted to learn more about the different styles of bending portrayed on the show! The series created a world that is so expansive that a new storyline could focus on any number of characters, events, or time periods. Whatever ends up happening with the final product, I will watch it all the same.

'Good Burger' Has Topped Netflix's Charts for Over a Week

$

Step aside, action-thrillers. There's a new kind of movie topping Netflix's most-watched list, and it's a '90s classic that will definitely feed your hunger for nostalgia!


If you grew up on Nickelodeon shows like All That and Kenan & Kel, then you're probably familiar with Good Burger, which was added to the streaming platform in 2014. But now, the comedy film has landed the second spot on Netflix's most-watched movies list, bumping ahead of titles like Pieces of a Woman, Unknown and 17 Again.

The comedy film centers on Dexter Reed and Ed, two dim-witted teenage employees at a fast-food restaurant called Good Burger. But when an even bigger fast-food franchise, Mondo Burger, moves into the neighborhood, the teens realize they have to fight to keep the restaurant from going under.

As some fans may already know, the movie was inspired by a popular sketch that was originally featured in All That. It included the same two main actors and centered on Ed as the funny, absent-minded employee.

The movie stars Kenan Thompson (from Saturday Night Live) and Kel Mitchell, who actually serve as an executive producers on Nickelodeon's All That reboot. Other cast members include Sinbad, Abe Vigoda and Jan Schweiterman, with appearances from stars like Carmen Electra and Shaquille O'Neal. Brian Robbins, the current president of Nickelodeon, directed the film and produced it with Mike Tollin. The script was also written by Dan Schneider, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert.

Although the film was met with mixed reviews from critics during its theatrical release in 1997, it was a major box office success in the U.S., and it's still considered a cult classic to loyal Nickelodeon fans. And according to Ken Fox from TV Guide, it's "a fresh, funny, super-sized kid's comedy that may even have a few grown-ups cracking smiles."


And if you're wondering where to find the Burger Mobile, a fan has lovingly restored it, and the car is now on display at Hi-Pointe Drive-In in St. Louis!

Nickelodeon with a side of '90s nostalgia? Sign me up!

Hopefully the renewed interest in Good Burgerhelps bring the movie's planned sequel to fruition.

Nickelodeon’s Gabrielle Nevaeh Green Accidentally Got Tony Romo’s 800 Page Packet Of Game Notes for 'NFL Wild Card Game on Nick'

Sunday’s NFL Wild Card playoff game between the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints featured a rather well received twist in that it was broadcast not only on CBS, but also on Nickelodeon.


The Nickelodeon broadcast was helmed by play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle (son of longtime broadcaster Ian Eagle) with former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson and Nickelodeon star Gabrielle Nevaeh Green (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered) providing analysis and color, and Green's Nick co-star Lex Lumpkin (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered), 14, serving as the sideline reporter.

Burleson’s work explaining the nuances of an NFL game to what was expected to be a younger audience was especially well-received, while many of the questions Burleson answered throughout the broadcast came from the 15-year-old Green.

Green wasn’t completely unprepared for the broadcast, however. It turns out that, by accident, Green received CBS broadcaster Tony Romo’s 800 page packat of game notes, reports the New York Times.

She was supposed to get a one-page cheat sheet, according to the broadcast’s coordinating producer, Shawn Robbins. When she received a copy of Romo’s monster notes package from a production assistant her mom emailed Robbins, asking, “Um, hey Shawn, what do we need to know from this 800 page packet?”

In the end, she didn’t need Romo’s notes, as the broadcast averaged 2.06 million viewers - Nickelodeon's largest audience in four years - and CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said following the game, “I think it’s probably the first of many collaborations between CBS Sports and the Viacom platforms.”
