I’m sure most 90′s kids grew up watching Nickelodeon. I obviously did and lots of the 90′s kids have been asking and asking for our favorite shows we’ve grown up with to be back on TV. Finally in summer 2o11, we’re getting what we asked for! Nickelodeon has given us a late night (12-4am) marathon block of 90′s nickelodeon shows starting off with Kenan & Kel, All That, Clarissa Explains it All, and Doug. According to Wikipedia, other shows such as Real Monsters, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, The Amanda Show, Catdog, GUTS, Double Dare, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, Rugrats, Rocko’s Modern Life, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Secret of Alex Mack, and more will be coming on soon as well. No news of when the other 90′s nick shows will air.
My thoughts: I miss the shows I grew up with and while I do think this is a nice idea, I would’ve preferred a channel that’s dedicated to all 90′s shows. That way, they won’t have to rotate shows out. Nickelodeon seems to have forgotten that their viewers have jobs and many of them prefer not to stay up just to watch their old favorite shows. Thankfully for me, I have DVR so I can watch them whenever I’d like. For now, I’m definitely enjoying a good taste of nostalgia with Kenan & Kel, Clarissa, All That, and Doug.
On a side note, I’ve been getting into other shows I used to watch. I own DVDs for Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Animaniacs, Adventures of Sonic, Sonic SATAM, and a bunch more nostalgic shows on my shelf. I’ve got Tom & Jerry Kids, Quack Pack, and Goof Troop on my computer ready to watch also. I’m crossing my fingers that if the 90′s block on Nick does well, then they’ll have a channel just for the 90′s shows. I’m hoping that Disney channel will consider doing the same thing in the future.
