Saw your other cartoon thread.

But yea I hear you....that channel really isn't the same any more...I watched almost everything you listed...good times.

OMG i forgot about real monsters! Nickelodeon used to the the BEST! I loved watching cartoons with my kids... We would look forward to it!

As a Brit, the only one i've ever heard of is Rugrats. I liked that though!

i heard of a couple more... but Rug Rats stuck out 4 me!!! there were heaps of good jokes in there...

remember Dill Pickles

I dug Nickelodeon because it was cool seeing international programming. I thought of it like traveling a bit everyday.

You Can't Do That On Television was definitely a favorite of mine, but I also recall really liking some of the earliest shows like Tomorrow People, The Third Eye, Today's Special, Double Dare, Dusty's Treehouse, Hocus Focus, Livewire and What Will They Think of Next?

Then there was Pinwheel. It annoyed the crap out of me that it would stay on for hours and hours! But at a certain point, I appreciated it being on in the background as I played around the house on days off from school. Something about the constancy was comforting.

Salute Your Shorts

<---------------- ummm... hello???

best.show.ever.

my ass is SO old that I remember when Nickelodeon actually first started.

It was around my kindergarten year, and I would watch Pinwheel relentlessly. They also had a video show, this was before MTV, that played once a week. I saw Chrissie Hynde on it for the first time and was all over her, even at that young age. Reggie Jackson had a sports show on it for a few years too, and I was a total geek for that one.

as I grew up a little, You Can't Do That On Television and Mr. Wizard's World became became must see TV for me. Double Dare was cool and I would watch it everyday after school. Danger Mouse, Inspector Gadget, The Monkees, and Lassie were all watched.

In my teen years, I still watched it, but mostly just for Ren & Stimpy and the occasional other cartoon. When I saw Salute Your Shorts or Keenan & Kel, I laughed a lot, but I had lots of other things going on in my life by then.

But here I am, a grown ass man, and I still end up having it on for Spongebob, the Fairly OddParents or even Yo Gabba Gabba! (don't sleep on that one!)

hell yeah, I'm a Nick fan!!!

I forgot the love/hate thing I had with that theme song. Such a simpler time.

U must be 33 tears old. U had the same dame scheduale I did! Double dare...Mark Summers...LOL I burnt up my parents sofa cuz of Mr. Wizard!

lassie I didn't do though...i unno...

Not only the best cartoons and shows like All That (and Roundhouse, I had a soft spot for that one lol) but they also had Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc.

Man Nickelodeon was the SHIT son. Kids today don't get that, I feel bad for them.

I wish they would start a "Classic Nick" channel where they'd show all the shows they aired in the 80s and 90s

You can't do that on Television

Are you Afraid of the Dark

Kids Incorporated (that was Disney, I know but CMON that show was the BEST)

I knows theres a bunch more I just can't remember.

Way better than the shows that are on now. Theyre all the same, Icarly, Victorious, Zoey,Big Time Ruch, Hannah.......holy shit if they'd put on a show where the kids aren't in a band and don't dress like skanks.....

Yup! I was thinking about cartoons first, then I started thinking about all of the shows that use to come on, & mostly all of my favorite shows were on Nickelodeon. So I thought "why not start a thread on nick too?"...
