Grab your band uniform and start practicing your comebacks, because school is back in session. You might be surprised at some of the A-listers who suffered the wrath of mean girls and bullies, but the teasing they survived may be part of the secret to their success.

It may be unfair to judge a once-beloved show by its final few moments, but let’s face it: In today’s short-attention-span society, it’s the last impression that lingers the strongest. So for better and for worse, a show’s series finale may just prove to be its most important episode. Snakkle looks back at some of the best—and worst—in television history.

D’oh! Has it really been 25 years since the FOX Network first graced our television screens? Launched in April of 1987, Rupert Murdoch created the “fourth network” to compete with the old guard, otherwise known as ABC, CBS, and NBC. Married…With Children and The Tracey Ullman Show were among its prime-time debuts in 1987, with shows like 21 Jump Street and Duet soon rounding out the programming. Of course, these were only the beginning. In honor of 25 years on air, Snakkle celebrates 13 of our favorite FOX characters.

It’s just shy of 20 years since Fox’s creepily addictive drama The X-Files debuted on TV. The series launched the careers of series leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and forever cemented the names of Mulder and Scully in the pop culture hall of fame. Creator Chris Carter crafted a rogue’s gallery of memorable characters lurking in the shadows throughout the nine seasons of the series (and two theatrical movies). Snakkle takes a look at some of our favorites and checks in with where the actors are now.

Were they born fabulous? It’s true that these celebrities all got plenty of attention in high school, though not always for the right reasons. Some of them had the star quality that made them super-popular. While others… well, let’s just say they were kind of bozos. See if you can tell the class clowns from the most populars.

Were you one of the women who sported “The Rachel”? Would you ever rock a “Snooki Pouf”? Snakkle takes a look at the most memorable hairstyles that teased your TV screens.

We decided to take a look at the butt-kicking women of TV, past and present. Some have super-powers, some are cyborgs, and all are as tough as nails (and sometimes tougher).
