In lieu of receiving that "Are You An 80s Child" highlight thing, and from watching a Nickelodeon spin-off channel earlier, I decided to construct the "Are You A Nickelodeon Junkie" highlight thing.
So, here's how it works, if you missed the other one. Bold all of the following items, which you know/remember. Then, when you're finished see how many items out of 60 you know/remember. If you'd like a percentage, pull out a calculator or do some mental math. So, here goes:
