I have so many favorite shows that I loved; here's my top five:

1. Pinwheel
2. Today's Special

4. Dangermouse
5. You Can't Do That On Television


What were your favorites.

Double Dare

Pinwheel

Turkey Television (does anybody remember that?)

Defintely DOUBLE DARE!!!! I always wished I wantedto go through the final obstacle course!:D

Oh yeah!

"Four Score and Seven Years, ago..."

Remember that goofy opening song...lol...classic Nick :p

I think there was a show called 'Fragle Rock'. It was funny.

Pinwheel
You can't do that on Televison
Today's Special
Fraggel Rock

I thought Fraggle Rock came on HBO.

Anyway, I liked:

Today's Special

Double Dare

Finder's Keepers

Make the Grade

You Can't Do that on Television

Dangermouse (with the Bananaman cartoons)

When I was younger I HATED Pinwheel with a PASSION! I could not wait for it to go off.

Does anyone else remember Out of Control? I loved that.

And I loved Double Dare and You Can't Do That On Television.

Out of Control was my show!!! I also liked:

Oh wow! This is really bringing back memories. My favorites were:

You can't do that on television

I'm forgetting another show, I just can't think of it right now.

I loved:
Double Dare
Pinwheel
You Can't Do That On Television (personal favorite)
Dangermouse
Count Duckula (remember how he used to eat ketchup instead of blood?)
Today's Special

Are these shows on reruns anywhere? Or are they locked away in the Nickleodeon vault?

Nickleodeon has a channel called G.A.S. (Games and Sports) where they show a lot of their old game shows, like Doulbe Dare, Family Double Dare, etc.

I was the BIGGEST fan of
You Can't Do That On Television
Double Dare -- I wanted to go on that show so badly.
Salute Your Shorts -- camp show.


Gina, I hated PINWHEEL too.

I liked Salute your Shorts too.

I knew I wasn't the ONLY one who wasn't feeliong Pinwheel.

Other shows I liked:

The Adventures of Pete and Pete

Clarissa Explains It All (Although I never understood the fact that Sam could just climb through her window)

I liked this one too.

dardenr, I thought I was the only one who watched Count Duckula. I loved that show.

Other Faves:

Finder's Keepers
Kids' Court
You Can't Do That on Television
Don't Just Sit There
Double Dare
Fifteen

They had an old school marathon a few years back. They really need to do that again.

was Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts technically 80's? anyway, i loved those shows...oh and was David the Gnome on Disney or Nick?

David the Gnome was on Nick. I loved that show. :)

Some of my other favs:

You Can't Do That on Television
Double Dare
Clarissa Explains it All

It wasn't that I liked Pinwheel, but it stayed on for SO LONG, I kinda had to watch it. I did love Double Dare and You Can't Do That On Television.

Yeah, I think they started coming on in '88 or '89.

I forgot all about David the Gnome.


That's exactly why I DIDN'T like it. When you're young, an hour or two can see like a lifetime.

Mistaken identity! That was enlightenment06 who said that, lol.

I liked You Can't Do That on Television and The Little Prince. (Or was that HBO?)

In no particular order:

1. You Can't Do That On Television

2. Hey Dude

3. DOUBLE DARE

4. David the Gnome

5. Don't Just Sit There

6. Finders Keepers

7. Heathcliff

8. Out of Control

9. Make the Grade

10. The Little Prince

11. The Noozles (anyone remember this? It was about some koala bears that lived with a family...)

12. Mr. Wizard's World

13. Kids Court

14. Inspector Gadget

15. And finally, one of the true favorites: PICTURE PAGES with Bill Cosby and Mortimer Icobod Marker (it wasn't a real show, but it still did the trick! :D )

I LOVED Picture Pages!!

You can't do that on Television
The Elephant Show
David the Gnome
Hey Dude
Double Dare
Wild & Crazy Kids

Does anyone else remember the show Maya the Bee? It came on either right before or right after David the Gnome.

Yes, it is 12:30 in the morning and I am STILL up knowing I should be in the bed. Anyway, I decided to do a GOOGLE search for old Nickelodeon shows. I forgot one of my favorites. It was a really weird show starring the guy from Full House called "Out of Control". And don't forget Wild and Crazy Kids. I also found a forum that talks about old Nick shows:
Classic Nickelodeon

ETA: You Can't Do That On Television has its' own sites:

http://www.ycdtot.com

AND

http://www.ycdtotv.com

Yes! I remember. That was part of my Nickelodeon morning tv lineup during the summers :)

Yeah!

I watch that with my little sister who is 7 and she's was saying we should write in and go on Family Double Dare. I was like, baby this show is older than you, I used to want to write in back in the days.

G.A.S. is about the only show I can watch w/ her... can't get into the new stuff.
