Va-Va-Video

Va-Va-Video is a Nickelodeon original animated television series. It was created by Dynasti Noble and The Mighty B! co-creators, Cynthia True and Erik Wiese.

Summary
Set in the fictional town of Stonemore, Missouri in the year 1987, a gateway drug into the world of the nostalgic decade, Toby Fare was hired as a professional employee at a newly-built retail video store, Va-Va-Video where he gains a crush on a female cashier and also one of the employees, Audrey Gerwitz. While they both became newlyweds, they had a beautiful daughter named Paula Madonna, named after two of Audrey's favorite singers: Whitney Houston, and of course, Madonna.

Five years later, when Audrey moved away to Chicago, he decided to stay in Stonemore to work as the manager in Va-Va-Video. He has hired four employees: a tomboyish grunge rocker, a geeky, yet snarky, cynical and blunt sci-fi fanatic, a slacker who is very lazy, and an avid fashion magazine collector.
