25 years ago today, Nickelodeon aired the final episode of 'The Secret World of Alex Mack' -- which was then its longest-running scripted live-action show
On January 15, 1998, Nickelodeon aired the final episode of The Secret World of Alex Mack. With 78 episodes, Alex Mack was the network's longest-running live-action scripted series -- a title it would hold for over a decade, before finally being unseated by iCarly in 2011.

In addition to 78 episodes of The Secret World of Alex Mack, the characters were featured in a series of 34 paperback books aimed at middle school readers. The first and last books in the series were direct adaptations of the first and last episodes of the show, but the other 32 books featured original stories from writers Diana G. Gallagher, Cathy East Dubowski, and others.
The show ended on an ambiguous note -- Alex finally came clean to her parents, and her father and sister worked together to create an antidote that would return her to normal. But after years with powers and coming to grips with who she was, Alex did not take the antidote immediately, and just cryptically smiled to the camera, setting off a debate among fans. Oleynik said in later interviews that she herself had never decided what her head canon was, but co-creator Thomas W.
