when nikalodeon was *awesome*

remember in the early 90's when nik had shows like pete and pete, the 100 deeds of eddie mcdow (i think thats the name, its the one where the kid turns into a dog and has to do 100 good deeds to become a boy again) rocko's modern life, ren and stimpy (of corse) my favorite: AHHHH! real monsters! kablam! alex mac, man, i spent my whole childhood watching nikalodeon, thats sad!

 

-Pete and Pete
-Salute your Shorts
-Rocko's Modern Life
-Are you Afraid of the Dark
-Legends of the Hidden Temple
-Alex Mac
-Clarissa Explains it All
-Ren and Stimpy
-All That(like up to the 4th season)
-Angry Beavers
-Hey Arnold

Those shows made my childhood

AND

they played at some point
-BeetleJuice
-Inspector Gadget
-Rocky and Bullwinkle

And those shows are just classic.

 

Kablam was fuckin awesome

 

oh shiiiit beetle juice how did i forget about beetle juice i loved that show even though it wasnt really that great, and rockos modern life taught me about the facts of life pete and pete made me determined to get a tatoo at age 7, i wanted to go to summer camp because of salute your shorts and are you afraid of the dark made me piss my shorts, that shit was scary as hell. I remember trying to watch are you afraid of the dark in the dark and never making it to the first commercial break before turning the lights back on and making my sister watch it with me.
i spent my childhood watching nick too, nothing to be ashamed of it was a simpler time that i wish i could go back to.

But are any of you old enough to remember fifteen?

 

Not sure about '15'. NBC had a show long ago called 'James at 15'.

.

 

ah! salute your shorts was da bomb and are you afraid of the dark was another one of my faves! legends of the hiden temple-wasnt that a game show?

 

Those are some of the greatest shows. Don't forget Wild and Crazy Kids, Rugrats, Doug. All That was one of the sickest shows ever until the cast changed. They did try to bring back Wild and Crazy Kids but it wasnt the same, instead of ramping toy cars through brick walls with explosives...they had kids climbing giant blow up obsticle courses.

And even though they were on Cartoon Network, i grew up partly on classic looney toons. those were just awsome, i'd watch them today if they were still on the channels i get.

On saturdays i would always watch WB 11 because of the Pokemon craze (i remember getting pokemon blue at...sears was it? for the original gameboy which i still have). Nick tops pokemon but as far as growing up it was a close second.

 

Pokemon was a craze in Japan at least ten years before the U.S. The Smurf thing was in Europe decades before the U.S. New things make their way over to the U.S. on a barge.

Angry Beavers had some great humor.

.

 

Pete and Pete is one of my favorite shows of all time. They gotta bust em out on DVD or sumthin.

dont forget about....
-What Would You Do?
-Double Dare
-Nick Arcade

what ya'll youngstas know about that?

 

Doug always reminded me of Charlie Brown.

.

 

I grew up on many of the classic Nickelodeon shows and still prefer them. I vaguely remember Fifteen, and that I didn't like it at that age. But I liked the TRUE Classic Nick shows. Things changed when Rugrats, Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Rocky's Modern Life, and others came along. Most true Classic Nick fans don't consider them to be classics at all.

 

salute your shorts!!! i remember that....I watched Clarissa explains it all and Fifteen..
how about You Cant Do That On Television?

If no one knows the last one, then I am officially old

 

I can vaguely remember that one. I was very young when they took it off the air.

 

I remember that show pissed off my mom...she hated when me and my brother watched it....it was crude!

 

i am a bit too young to remember some of those, but i did watch the DVD of Pete and Pete recently. Wild Wacky stuff!

 

Both seasons of Pete and Pete are on DVD. It's about time too, that show is great! And what about Are You Afraid of the Dark? I used to love that when I was about 6.

Ah, the memories...

 

I loved You Can't Do That on Television. Isn't that where getting "slimed" got it's start? What Would You Do was great too. I remeber for a birthday party when I was younger, my mom set up our garage like the set of that show and we (all the guests) did dares and hidden talents and threw pies at each other.

 

Anyone remember Hey Dude! or Round House or Wild n Crazy Kids or Welcome Freshmen?????????
