"Nick News" Is Still On The Air. Can It Survive?

Remember Nick News ? How the show almost didn't happen — and where it is now.

Source: youtube.com

News is typically the last thing kids wants to see on TV, which is why a channel like Nickelodeon has been so successful as a safe haven from the boring and scary world of grown-up shows. But one of the longest-running programs on the network — a show that predates SpongeBob SquarePants, has outlived Rugrats, and has lasted more than two decades — isn't a cartoon, it's a show about news: Nick News with Linda Ellerbee.

And, yes, it's still on the air. And, yes, Linda Ellerbee still hosts.

"It's stunning to me it's still around," Ellerbee, 68, says. "[Nickelodeon] has understood and stood by us."

The program wasn't supposed to be anything more than a one-off special about the Gulf War, and it almost didn't happen. It was "an accident," Ellerbee says. In 1991, 24-hour cable television was still relatively new and consumer demand for coverage of the Gulf War was high. "The news of that short-lived war was everywhere. You couldn't escape it," Ellerbee says.

Several networks had done Gulf War specials for kids already, and Nickelodeon wanted its own. The network approached Ellerbee, whose résumé included Good Morning America and NBC News Overnight, to host. But she wasn't sure if she wanted to take Nickelodeon up on its offer. That night, however, she watched ABC's attempt at a Gulf War special for kids with Peter Jennings and made up her mind. "I think everybody in the country is aware that going to war has been hard on children, and I think it has confused children," Jennings told the Associated Press at the time.

But Ellerbee thought Jennings was confusing and scaring the kids even more. At one point in the program, he pulled out a gas mask. "He had a gas mask in his hand and he gave it to a kid!" Ellerbee says. "I knew what not to do." The kids of America were scared, and the grown-ups weren't making it any better. Linda Ellerbee had a job to do. She accepted Nickelodeon's offer.

Ellerbee grew up during the Cold War, and she remembered what it was like having duck-and-cover bomb drills every Friday in school. "Nobody talked to me about that. All I was left with was this awful fear of something I didn't understand."

Kids Talk About the Middle East aired on Nickelodeon on Jan. 1, 1991. It was filmed in a living-room set filled with kids wearing large name tags. A child psychologist was present. "Hi, I know this isn't what you're used to seeing on Nick, but this is a different kind of show. We're going to talk about the war," Ellerbee began. The program was mostly a discussion. Ellerbee asked the kids what they knew about the war and what they thought about it. And she had the kids point out New York City and Baghdad on a globe. "Rather than try to hide it from them, we should explain the news to kids," she says.

"Saddam Hussein does not have an airplane that can fly from there to here without stopping for refueling," she said during the show. "And the other countries of the world have said, 'We will not allow you to stop and refuel.'" There was no need for alarm, no need to try on gas masks. The kids of America could go to bed feeling safe that night.

It varies depending on conditions, but if you put a succulent in a sunny spot and water it about once a week in the summer, once a month in the winter, yours should be just fine.

Deerhunter Really, Really Dislike Morrissey And The Smiths

0

“This is not an article about Morrissey, as much as he'd like it to be, as much as I'm allowing him to permeate the air with his foul and fey musk.”

Moses Archuleta, Lockett Pundt, Bradford Cox, Frankie Broyles, and Josh Mckay

Image by Robert Semmer

Deerhunter have established themselves as one of the best and most prolific bands in contemporary indie rock over the past half decade. They've been building in popularity with each release going back to their breakthrough LP Cryptograms in 2007 and are poised to reach even more people with their new album Monomania, which will be out on May 7. They premiered the title track from that album this week with a memorable appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in which band leader Bradford Cox wore a black wig, red lipstick, and bloodied bandages on two of his fingers. Cox, along with his bandmates, chatted with BuzzFeed about why he wore those bandages, his goal of making Deerhunter one of the great American rock bands, and, well, mostly about how much he passionately loathes Morrissey and The Smiths.

When you meet people who don't know your music, what do you say your band is like?

Bradford Cox: I say rock 'n' roll.

Lockett Pundt: Yeah, that's what I say.

BC: Because I don't want to assume too much or too little about anybody's scope of interests. You never know who is into what, you know what I'm saying? You'll meet a mousy dentist and you talk about music and suddenly they're like, "I saw Richard Hell in 1981 at Club 688, which is some dive club in Atlanta at the time. Lockett's dad, for example, he collects guns and I think he's a registered Republican. He's a real man's man, but if you start talking to him, it's all Roxy Music, XTC, Bowie. You can't assume anything about anybody, and especially in the South.

I was wondering because one of my main impressions of your new album was that I kinda wish it was the first one that I'd heard, because it sounds like a good starting point.

BC: Really? In what sense?

In the sense that a lot of my favorite records when I was a teenager were the third, the fifth, the eighth album by someone. It seems like if you were coming into Deerhunter on this record, it'd be…

BC: Cool to go back and investigate?

Yeah, and I think any of the records would've been like that, but this one feels like coming in to R.E.M. around Document.

BC: I can take that as a compliment.

You definitely should, I'm a big R.E.M. fan.

BC: They're one of the greatest American rock 'n' roll bands of all time.

I don't think people appreciate them as much now.

BC: That's because people have short memories. But you know, R.E.M. is a band I think of when I think about Deerhunter. The one thing I aspire to is to be a great American rock 'n' roll band. And when I think of that, I think of Pylon, R.E.M., even bands I don't even particularly like. There's just a lineage, and a history, and a respect for elders. Sonic Youth and things like that, these are bands that paved the way, and none of us would have a job if it weren't for the work they did.

What is the Americanness of it to you, as opposed to being, like, a British band?

BC: There's lots of different ways to answer that question. The Sex Pistols or The Smiths are two bands I don't really care for at all. In fact, one of those two bands I absolutely hate passionately mainly because of their incredibly arrogant singer.

That could go either way!

BC: That did not have an amazing band called Public Image Ltd to save themselves with. God, if I talk about The Smiths and I talk about R.E.M., which do you levitate towards?

R.E.M., no question.

BC: There's a distinctive Americanness about R.E.M., it's a respect for elders. The first thing I ever tell someone when they ask me about my distaste for The Smiths and Morrissey, it's always, well, have you ever read Morrissey's description of The Ramones? If I ever meet that guy…whatever! He makes me want to wear fur. There are Smiths tunes that I find more acceptable than others, but I'd rather just not hear any of them. Frankly, all it took was that one criticism of The Ramones to permanently…you know, if you want to be on that side of the fence, cool.
