    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    Although it seems Nick under-licensed many of its early shows, it seems Nickelodeon licensed itself to a number of products. Just today I remembered Gak. Anybody else remember that? It was like playdough but, I think, slimey instead. I think there was also a Nickelodeon product called Gunk...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I've been watching some things on YouTube just now, and that time bar thing no longer appears. Maybe it's not a big deal, but it sometimes is nice to look at how longer something is. And sometimes I'll just want to watch a certain part of a video and want to use the time bar to get me there...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    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...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    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...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    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!"

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    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...
