It seems that during the early '90s when Nickelodeon was becoming more and more popular the various Nick shows, with the exception of Ren & Stimpy, were very under-merchandised. I think I read on wikipedia that Nick considered not over-licensing its shows to be the "hip" thing to do.
There...

I was talking about that video in another post (though I never owned it... Couldn't remember the video's title at the time). Only saw it in stores a few times, and yet all these years I thought it also had a Clarissa Explains it All episode as well. It seems both the Hey Dude and Doug episode...

Maybe that's why I thought they were the same.
I realised that I haven't posted my thoughts on Nick Jr. Now I'm not going to talk much about the Nick Jr. shows. I often did watch them (when I didn't have school), and not just to see Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, and Muppet Time. Though most...
My thoughts on some of the live-action shows.
Salute Your Shorts
This is one of my favorite Nick shows. I like it so much I started a thread about it at Muppet Central (I posted the link in a previous post in this thread). My favorite characters include Sponge and Michael, and after...
My thoughts on some of the old Nickelodeon shows, starting with the Nicktoons:
Doug
I feel like the first episode I saw was the first episode, "Doug Bags a Nematoad". This seems like the "normal" one of the original three Nicktoons, but it was still a good show. I like Skeeter and Porkchop...
Actually the pre-1948 cartoons weren't scarce, and only a handful of late-1960s cartoons were included on the Golden Collections. In fact, until last year official video releases of late-'60s shorts have been very scarce.
In the late-1950s, Warner Bros. sold its entire pre-1948 library to...
It would be funny if for this set, if they need disclaimers, they just put it in plain text, with Elmo reading the text in voice-over, as if to say, "Enjoy Elmo's voice here, because you'll hardly see him in this collection. And when you do, Elmo won't sound like this!"
I'd like to point out that I wrote a review of "Best of Friends" for The Muppet Mindset: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2012/09/sesame-street-best-of-friends-dvd-review.html
A lot of the stuff I mentioned in the review I mentioned in my posts here regarding the DVD, but I still think...
The weird thing about the disclaimers: The only way to see them is to buy the DVDs (or perhaps see all the news reports that make a big deal out of them). The "disclaimers" only appear in the introductions to the first episodes in both sets. The so-called disclaimers don't even appear on the...
Does anybody else find it ironic that although Warner Bros. was one of the channel's original owners (along with American Express), Looney Tunes didn't come to the channel until AFTER Warner sold its ownership of the channel?
Sure, maybe it was just a case of other networks having the...
When I got cable, Mr. Wizard's World was only on at really-early-in-the-morning timeslots (I think 6:30), and it wasn't exaclty advertised. At the time I thought I watched everything on the channel, even shows I may not have cared for, so I was surprised when I saw one particular commercial...
While the previous two releases contained some episodes where Muppet Wiki had tracked down Noggin edits, this will be the first Old School release where we don't know what Noggin edited at all. Who knows, maybe Noggin edited out rare characters like Aristotle or Deena and Pearl (after all...
I thought I might as well bring up two threads I started this year on similar topics:
First, a Nick at Nite thread I started:
http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/nick-at-nite-thread.51087/
And a Salute Your Shorts thread:
http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/salute-your-shorts.51994/
I was looking at the iTunes "Nick Rewind" collection. There's at least five volumes. I don't know when Nickelodeon officially considers it's cut-off date to be in regards to the classic era, but it surprises me that Rocket Squad (or was it Rocket Power?) and As Told by Ginger are included in...
I first remember knowing about Nickelodeon in 1991 or 1992. My aunt and uncle had cable, and when I saw Nickelodeon, I really wanted cable (and my household finally got cable in 1992!). But before getting cable I did get to see some of the programming at other people's houses. Some of the first...
