Heigl and Jordan take a trip to Wellsville to explore the baffling-yet-beloved staple of early Nickelodeon. You'll learn about the off-kilter sitcom's surprising origins as a Nick at Nite promo, and its strong ties to the downtown New York avant-garde arts scene of the late '80s. You'll also discover how the hell they got an insane number of shocking guest stars and learn about the adorable friendship that blossomed between Danny Tamberelli and Iggy Pop on the set. The TMI gang also crack some of the more enduring mysteries of the show — why did their mom have a plate in her head, why did Little Pete have nautical tattoos, and why did the boys share a single name in the first place? Sadly, they were unable to get the name of the song Little Pete overheard the garage band play in that one episode, or decipher the unintelligible lyrics of the theme song "Hey Sandy," by Polaris — but you can't win 'em all.
