Old School Nickelodeon

I am a huge, huge fan of Old Scchool Nickelodeon (1979-99). I remember:
You Can't Do That on Television
Double Dare
Think Fast
Get the Picture
Welcome Freshmen
Fifteen
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Make the Grade
What Would You Do?
Rugrats
Doug
Ren and Stimpy
Weinerville
GUTS
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Figure it Out
Nick Arcade
Salute Your Shorts
Clarissa Explains it All
The Secret World of Alex Mack
Roundhouse
Wild and Crazy Kids
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
All That (old cast)
My Brother and Me
Hey Dude

Man I wish I can go on. Those are the best Nick shows. My favorites are LOTHT, GUTS, Double Dare, and Clarissa Explains it All It's just a shame that these shows don't come on Nick. I don't get Nick Games and Sports Network or Nicktoons. It sucks that I can't relieve my childhood. Nickelodeon sucks right now. The shows are utter crap. Hey, I would rather watch the Disney Channel rather that Nick. Of all the channel within the past 5 years, Nick is the one that have hit the lowest point (In other words, the lowest of the low). (Second is MTV) The only good show that is on now is SpongeBob Squarepants.

However, I understand that the reason why Nick got rid of the Old School shows is because they want to cater to the younger viewer.

OLD SCHOOL NICKELODEON RULES!

Remember Old school Nick Jr? Did anyone watch those cartoons?? I remember when I would stay home from school if I was sick when I was little I'd watch:

David The Knome
The Little Koala
Today's Special

Remember those...what were some others?? I never really watched Eureka's Castle..it got on my nerves.

Mya the Bee!!!

And I watched Eureka's Castle all the time as a kid. That and Today's Special.

As far as shows go: Rollergirl... I completely forgot about Hidden Temple. LOVED that show. I think I wanted to be on it once. Double Dare was a fav and I also wanted to be a castmember on Roundhouse. It reminded me of a under 13 SNL or other sketch comedy series.

I loved Maya the Bee and that Koala show (I forgot the name.). Don't forget Pinwheel and Sharon, Lois and Bram.

I Love You

Anyway, I used to have a huge crush on Kirk Fogg from Legends of the Hidden Temple. I think that he was sooo fine. Also, I was a huge Moira Quirk fan. I really didn't like the short hair, but I'm used to it now. The long hair looks pretty on her.

Today's Special? Is that the same one as the Canadian show, with the guy mannaquin that comes to life at night? I used to LOOOOVEEEE it! It used to come on Tuesdays and Thursdays (I'm almost positive) on TV Ontario, right after Polka Dot Door.

That's the one...remember the computer that glowed when it talked?

Man, I loved Today's Special! I was a little too old for Eureka's Castle. I also loved Clarissa Explains it All, Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude! I wouldn't admit it to anyone, but I did watch Pete & Pete. My FAVORITE was Are You Afraid of the Dark. I had forgotten about the Hidden Temple one...I did watch that!

As for Double Dare - I had the game!!!

I'd forgotten about Maya the Bee. That was a good one. I also liked Today's Special, Fifteen, Roundhouse, and Double Dare. Oh and You Can't Do That on Television was my favorite. I bet kids today don't know that the whole green slime thing started with that show.

Wow...I had forgotten about a lot of those shows. Reading the titles brought me back down memory lane.

I use to always watch Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Roundhouse, Welcome Freshman, etc.
They need to create a cable station for these old classics!

Pinwheel, Pinwheel
Spinning around
Look at my pinwheel
And see what I've found

Pinwheel, Pinwheel
Where have you been?
Hello! How are you?
And May I come in?
