List of The Nostalgia Critic episodes (season 2)
The Nostalgia Critic, an Internet reviewer, began his first month of the 2009 episodes with "Nickelodeon Month", in which he exclusively reviewed related programs from the Nickelodeon TV channel. Episode 47 is the first to be filmed in widescreen, which became standard thereafter, with the exception of Episode 49, which was filmed in fullscreen and was also the last episode to be filmed in that format. A new episode format was added with Episode 62, Old Vs. New, in which two versions of the same intellectual property are compared and rated against each other. The year 2009 introduced crossovers with other Channel Awesome video producers, starting in episode 47.

! Real Monsters]]'' (1994–97) Hey Arnold! (1996–2004) : He says it is the last show he saw on Nickelodeon, and reviews it based on its intro, asking why Arnold wears a skirt (it was explained in the cartoon that it is actually a shirt, and episodes of Hey Arnold! even have Arnold shown while wearing the shirt without the sweater), and finding the overall premise uninteresting. |

ShortSummary=The Critic and Nostalgia Chick review FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992). They comment about the film's preachy attitude, uninspired characters and some scientific and geographical inaccuracies. As well as the somewhat hypocritical message of speaking out against [...] down trees, and yet being ironically, an animated movie, where a lot of paper must have been used to animate the movie. Note: The term "Big-Lipped Alligator Moment" is first coined in this episode. |

In the commentary for the review, both Doug and Rob Walker admitted to actually finding the former cartoon so-bad-its-good, due to its surreal nature. |

Aux1=Doug Walker |
ShortSummary=The Critic reviews The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987). He lambasts the film for having no plot or story, terrible characters, unfunny and disgusting humour, and poorly designed puppets. Special criticism is saved for the musical number that the kids have in one scene, despite there being no indication that the movie is a musical. The episode ends with a parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the film's horribleness rips through time and space. Note: Doug and Rob Walker would later comment that The Garbage Pail Kids Movie was the worst movie that they had ever had to review for the series. In the retrospective "The WORST Movies Nostalgia Critic's Reviewed", on which he placed it at Number 1, Doug stated that it was also by far the worst movie that he had ever seen in his entire life. |

He considers the worst Christmas special ever, criticizing the focus on the Wookiee family, the Star Wars cast only appearing in cameos, excessive filler, and the animation from the cartoon segments, but he does praise Bea Arthur's performance. Special criticism is reserved for the annoying roars of the Wookiees in general, let alone a tribe of them, causing one of his ears to bleed at one point. At the end of the review, "Santa Christ" (played by Rob Walker) destroys the holiday special, wipes the Critic's memory of the holiday special, and cures the Critic's diabetes, which was something the Critic was unaware he had. |

Note: During the review, the Critic made a comment about autism that he later found to be inappropriate and removed. This is currently the only joke ever removed from the show because Walker thought it was low, unfair, and did not make much sense. |
