In the summer of 1990, the first cable network for kids brought back Camp Nickelodeon, and with it another retro baby boomer-era sitcom, Camp Runamuck (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125247/http://www.jumptheshark.com/c/camprunamuck.htm), a forgotten show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Runamuck) made from grown-ups, sold to kids. But it turns out this brief six-week run of the show was a small part of a larger plot, one battlefield in the war between Viacom and HBO. We're going down a rabbit hole in this one, folks.
