It's a shame what today's youth is being subjected to on Nickelodeon. I remember there was Nick in the Afternoon with Stick Stickely. That's when they played classic cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Sylvester and company.
Let's see here.
Game Shows: Double Dare, Family Double Dare, even Double Dare 2000. Legends of the Hidden Temple was great. GUTS. Figure it Out was alright to a certain point. Nick Arcade! What Would You Do? Wild and Crazy Kids...
Cartoons: Rugrats before they got all crappy. Doug, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko, Kablam, Hey Arnold, Ahhh Real Monsters, Angry Beavers.
Comedies: Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, The Adventures of Pete&Pete, All That(the first 5 years), Kenan&Kel...
Then you had Are You Afraid of the Dark? Man...that was such a great show. Scary but it was specifically made for kids. That's also when Nick at Nite had good shows like Wonder Years, the Jeffersons, and the Brady Bunch and then early in the morning you could catch more classic cartoons like Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Man, we all need to get together and find a way to build a time machine so we can go back and watch the shows. But the problem is that we may not enjoy them like we used to...
I love the like of Rocco and AYFOTD, Welcome Back Freshman and salute your shorts,alex mack and the serect world of allen strange, Hey dude and ren and stimpy, doug and my brother and me, space cases and pete and pete,legends of the hidden temple and figure it out, all that, keanen and Kel, round house, carlissa(sp?) explains it all, and you can't do that on television. and any others i might of missed.
"Who love orange soda? i do, i do, i do uo"
i still remember the damn stick stickly song "write to me stick stickly,po box 963, new york city,new york state,10108"
Every once in a while my friends and I will get into a HUGE discussion about lost Nick shows. Those were the good ol' days of good kid's T.V. My kid sister has been brainwashed by Nickelodeon since then, poor kid. My favorites were Legends of the Hidden Temple, Are you Afraid of the Dark?, Clarissa Explains it All, Salute Your Shorts and pretty much everything except Double Dare and Figure it Out. If they put all those good shows on DVD, I'd bet they'd sell like hotcakes. I wish.
Alex Mack and Doug were a big part of what I used to love in my early years, Doug of course is high and above everything else and none of these shows will ever be released on DVD because well the people who own the rights frankly are idiots.
I also remember "Are You Afraid of The Dark?" which when it was on was scary (I was young at the time) and they still replay old episodes on Family here in Canada.
I remember most of those shows with fond memories, especially Alex Mack and AYFOTD. The title credits of AYFOTD where they showed the empty playground at night was suitably spooky.
Now all we have are shows lik Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Odd Parents and Ned's Newt
