The Nostalgia Machine

Join me for a special episode as I chat with my friend, Stephanie, about the cartoon based on the popular PC game. Produced by DIC Productions, the show aired from 1994 to 1999 on Saturday mornings on the Fox Kids Network. Help us find the famous master thief with her iconic red trench coat and hat!

Before Smallville, Sex in the City, and CW superhero shows, there was ABC's Lois & Clark. The show ran from 1993-1997 and aimed at attracting more women to comics by focusing on romance and relationships. Join us as we remember the show starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher.

Rediscover the massively popular 90s game involving cardboard bottle caps with images of popular characters, brands, athletes, and celebrities. Widely believed to have originated from the Japanese game of Menko, pogs became a multi-million-dollar industry and a pre-Internet "meme marketing" platform. These unassuming caps went from boom to bust in the span of a few years!

Who do you call when you want some pepperoni? Well, three cybernetic cats who run a pizza parlor, of course! Rediscover the intensely wacky, self-aware, and sometimes controversial cartoon about three fearsome felines who protect the city from the power-hungry robot rat, The Big Cheese, and his minions!

Rediscover the swashbuckling action-adventure drama series, starring Duncan Regehr as the masked vigilante! The series ran for 4 seasons from 1990-1993 on The Family Channel.

In this episode, we rediscover the influential (yet overlooked) 1970s anime, Mazinger Z. Created by manga illustrator, Go Nagai, this anime initiated the giant robot craze of the '70s and '80s and helped inspire other popular shows like Voltron and Transformers!
