The Bottom Line: "Cutting edge"
They don't make shows for kids like this anymore and its a shame. ...Continue »
What I liked about this show, was it wasn't like all the other kids shows out there. It was completely cutting edge. It involved subject matter, content, plots, and story lines that no other kids show would think of. I mean GC161, the chemical plant, scientists, chemicals, research, product development, lying to the FDA, the dangers of weight loss products, good vs. evil, etc... I mean you just don't get that in kids shows these days.

The stuff you get today is SpongeBob, the naked brothers band, Drake & Josh, Zach and Cody, Raven, the emperor... I mean its rediculous. None of it makes kids think, none of it works their brain, none of it makes them think outside the box or creatively. Its just the pop star who leads a double life and mindless garbage like that.

Not this show... it really had a place on TV and you could really say that having your kids watch this show wasn't a waste of time.

i miss this show, it was one of the best shows on nickleodeon at the time. Nickelodeon should have more shows like these or rerun the classics for the new generation because they dont know about shows like these. the cast of this show was phenomenon and i wished that this show could have last longer. This was one of my personal favorites among the nickelodeon station. it is a shame that the new generation does not have shows like these. The Secret World of Alex Mack gave viewers a sense of imagination and how people have hard times keeping secrets and the dangers and mysteries of experimentation.

The Bottom Line: "Classic"
A series that about a girl who get expose to some chemical subject that gave her some of the most amazing powers. ...Continue »
I use to watch this show when I was younger and I loved it. I wished they continued it, or something. But the reason I think I really liked this show was it would touch on this we kids was going through with a twisted that made it even more interesting for kids. I'm glad that I got to see it when I could. For kids out there, I suggest that you might want to see this series if you can get it, but if you can't maybe you find it on YouTube or some other website that have it.

The 90's was a golden age for TV and Nickelodeon was no exception. The Secret World of Alex Mack was one show in a line-up of good TV on Nick. I feel nostalgic looking back and enjoying this series. Larisa Oleynik is a wonderful actress and she has a certain innocent charisma about her. You even get a glimpse of budding star Jessica Alba on the series. The premise of the show is simple (kid gets super powers after being exposed to a chemical), but the simple fun was what the show was all about. What kid wouldn't want super powers? Wonderful show. I will miss it.

I remember watching this show in Nickelodeon's golden years. back when they had rugrats,dough,legend of the hidden temple, and more. I really miss those times. The secret world of alex mack was a really fresh, new idea in a show. I remember the countless times they tried to trap her and take her back to the lab or whatever. I cant really recall that many episodes or the stories, but i remember enjoy this show very much as a kid.Also i used to have a crush on the girl so hahaha you know i loved it.
