Sorry Lo, just call me copycat =^.^=

(Actually I just didn't want to spam your thread with this lol since it is a bit more extensive than your poll.)

They took off most of the really good shows on Nickelodeon.

"Fairly Odd Parents" and "Invader Zim" are good, but I liked "Are You Afriad Of The Dark". That was my faaaavorite show. With the secret circle and the bag of magic powder and such. "All That" used to be good too...until they replaced everybody... dry.gif

Rocko, of course...yeah I know that still comes on but not on a regular basis. It's only on Slime Time or U Pick or whatever that goofy thing is called.

biggrin.gif

Eureka's Castle also. biggrin.gif
sizzlieswix
invader zim is one of my faves...

ren and stimpy is another show that i never see on that i loved...i'm not sure if it was on nickelodeon

and rocko's modern life was a good one too
Debaser
aaah, ren and stimpy...the trouble i used to get into for watching that tongue.gif

think mtv2 stole that over here. mtv2 steal everything...
cheese is funny
nick screwed up... i have to agree with all the points you made sarah... took away all the cool shows... bah...

whoa... you remember eureka's castle? lucky... i remember watching it... but i dont remember much about it.... please refresh my memory and revive my childhood biggrin.gif laugh.gif
Sarah the Spider
Eureka's castle had those gnarly puppets...and that dragon...and much singing...

I can feel the juice box and Rainbow Brite doll in my hands now...
happy.gif
CrissiLove
oohhhh I liked Are You Afriad of the Dark... lol I didn't watch it often or anything, but I remember seeing it a few times. I don't watch Nickelodean, I watch the Disney Channel a lot though... lol Oh, but I do watch Nick@Nite all the time... lol smile.gif
LoLo

LoLo, do not feel old. I am just too little. biggrin.gif

Shame for all the kiddies growing up with no Eureka's Castle and such...

They have...*ugh* Dora...

''ren and stimpy'' were robbed by MTV2 and are barely shown anymore, grrrrr...

''invader zim'' was another winner, but that was cancelled....

''rockos modern life'' was great but its not at all a kids show if you look back on it..... laugh.gif
Sarah the Spider
Ren and Stimpy is going to be on TNN I think...
MoonlightSavingsTime
Awwww, I loved Are You Afraid of the Dark!!!! I used to watch that show religiously. *sigh* Oh the memories... First I watched it when they had Snick, then they started playing one or two episodes after school. I'd watch the new ones, reruns, reruns I'd seen three times already, anything! Loved that show.

I was about to start this thread too, Sarah, thanks for saving me the trouble! wink.gif

I also used to watch Round House (not *that* great, but I loved it at the time). Fifteen (liked it a lot at the time, though I don't miss it at all right now). Rocko's Modern Life, of course -- oh, I miss that show so much. sad.gif I know what you mean, Sarah, they play it on that UPick thing, but it doesn't help much because it's not on a schedule so I have to be in the mood to sit through other potentially bad cartoons before getting around to the good stuff.

Ren and Stimpy. Salute Your Shorts. Hey Dude.

And of course the uber-classic You Can't Do That on Television!!

All That was good, as mentioned, before they replaced everyone. (They even had a fat chick!!! Why can't "adult" shows be this open-minded??!!!) Kenan and Kel!!

There also used to be this show called Kablam! which I was so obsessed with. When it wasn't on, I'd spend the entire week just thinking about it and getting excited for the next episode. Most of the stuff on this show was stop-motion animation of various types. Oh, Kablam had this sketch called Prometheus and Bob that was so hilarious!! I think it involved some uber-intelligent alien from outer space who kept trying to teach the caveman new technology and other stuff, but it always ended in hilarious disaster. And another sketch called Action League Now which was probably my f***ing favourite of all! It was stop-motion animation using old action figures, one of which was called The Flesh -- "he's super-strong...and super-naked" or whatever his tagline was. laugh.gif Also Melt Man and Stinky Diver. *sigh* That show was a classic. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who thinks so, because the show didn't seem to last that long. sad.gif

Double Dare. Finders Keepers! Wild and Crazy Kids -- which was co-hosted by Omar Gooding, Cuba Gooding Jr's little bro. All those lovely old Nickelodeon game shows. Ha, I used to watch Nickelodeon all the damn time, obviously, LOL.

Oh, and how can I forget my almost-namesake Clarissa Explains It All!! The show that caused everyone at my school to intentionally give me the misnomer Clarissa. And maybe that's part of why everyone else decides to add that L in my name as well. rolleyes.gif Heheh. The Ferg.
everlasting godstopper
I have every episode that was aired from Invader Zim in Divx. Heh, I think there is 36 from season one and only two from season two. "Gir goes crazy and stuff" is my favorite episode!
Galder Weatherwax's Hat
Nick UK have stopped showing Zim, I hate them! Them and their dirty stinking minds cranking ick-spew thoughts which claw their way with dripping mandibles out their horrible poop-mouths filled with... corn!

Also, Action League Now! (and the rest of Kablaam!, but to a lesser extent), Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers, Spngebob Squarepants and Rocko's Modern Life are great. MTV made Ren and Stimpy originally, by the way, Nick then butchered it to make it more kid friendly. Don't get me started about Nick...
LoLo
Clarissa Explains it all! I used to love that show. Too bad she's now Sabrina the teenaged witch. How the hell does she go from being a teenager on that nick show when i was barely a teenager....to being a teenager on sabrina anyways?
Galder Weatherwax's Hat
She's in her late twenties in really life, I think. And she was only just a teenager when Clarissa started (I saw a really old episode t'other day and she was all titchy, awwww). Regardless, Sabrina is a complete waste of time. No, a completeinsult to time. I hear it's been cancelled. Shame it ran for so long.

I think the guy who does Salem's voice is the same as the guy who does Norb's in Angry Beavers - which is a great testiment to how important good writing is even with a fantastic actor.

Norb is also Zim. That voice guy is approaching "god" status for me.
chester
the voice actor that does zim and salem and a bunch of others is Nick Bakay. hes one of my favorites. im addicted to invader zim. jhonen vasquez rocks. are you afraid of the dark, rocko, r&s, eurekas castle, action league, they all rock. they have some really cool people at nick, but unfortunately the rich crappy old white guys took over. i know, im obsessed. anime, comics, almost anything animated with good writers, i love. dont ask. ima freak.

ps: u-pick live is an okay program. ocaisionally they show rocko on it if it gets voted.

Oh my GOD that show was toooo cool. I watched it every Friday.

Wild and Crazy Kids...he he he...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY?!?


LoL...

... here is my question, what the crap did TNN do to Ren and Stimpy... I mean they were gross on Nick and we loved them for it but this new version is just disgusting... I like the fact that Ren and Stimpy are out though ... we all knew!!

Actually, poop, I meant Dag is Zim. So which is Nick Bakay, then? He can't be both Norbert and Dagget, can he? Should one man be allowed that much cool?

PS - recommend me some good comics. Please do. Go on.

OMG @ all the shows moonlight mentioned...WOO! and uhm...yeah...ren and stimpy on TNN is freaking DISGUSTING. so disgusting it's just....not...funny. i like stripperella though...teeheee.

anyhow....clarissa explains it all! woo! and i freaking loved fifteen, but i would not wanna see it now..lmao....and same w/ roundhouse. hey dude...omg i watched that SO much...at one point i wanted to name my future child melody when i was around 11 or so lmao. and the guy who played ted also plays a teenager on sabrina..weird eh?...i guess he and melissa joan hart just never age! tongue.gif

i adored rocko's modern life...and the angry beavers! woo!

and omg...eureeka's castle. wub.gif hehe. i was actually too old to be watching it, but my little sister watched it. magellan kicked ass....i love that dragon. happy.gif
oh and those two twin things...one was orange one was pink, they had wart lookin things all over them. gahhh what were their names??

i loved SNick...hehe....the big orange couch. oooooo i don't think anyone has mentioned this yet:

PETE AND PETE! WOO!

i had a crush on the younger pete..hehe. danny tambereli i think was his name. wub.gif
MoonlightSavingsTime
OH, I completely forgot about PETE AND PETE!!!! What the hell is wrong with me??!!

I loved that show!!!
MoonlightSavingsTime
Oh, and I want to add Welcome Freshmen too. I used to watch that every Sunday, I think it came on right before or after Fifteen.

This just occurred to me. Wasn't the kid who played Billy in Fifteen in one of those recent stupid college comedies, Van Wilder or something? I'm pretty sure that's him. I need to shut up about this topic...
chester
i dont remember welcome freshmen, but i like pete and pete... or was it pete and peat? peat and peat? peat and pete......? hm....
Phyllis
!!!!

welcome freshmen!

omg i'd completely forgotten that one! i loved it!! woo!

and it was pete and pete, chester. tongue.gif
MoonlightSavingsTime
Okay, I just remembered two more:

Aahhh! Real Monsters - I used to watch this one all the time too... The only thing better than the plot was the voices for each character. biggrin.gif

The Secret World of Alex Mack - I'm probably a dork for liking this one, but it really was worth watching... Interesting, creative plots, and Alex was cool too... at least from what I remember.
The.Wheezing.Ghost
Nick used to have some wicked awesome game shows untill they got rid of them. I really like Fairly Oddparents. And Spongebob is good but they always play the same dag nabbit eppys. The series is ending anyway. My mom knows the creator of spongebob and he is stopping the series---ending it all witha movie coming out next year.
MoonlightSavingsTime
Hm, I might be interested in seeing a Spongebob movie... Just as long as they don't decide to randomly throw in the Rugrats, like they did with Wild Thornberrys more recently...ugh... I hate the Rugrats, and I love the Thornberrys... that just turned my world upside down.

I love that there's a cool little geeky femelle character on a cartoon show, in regards to the Wild Thornberrys. I would have killed to have a show like that when I was younger, or at least while a teenager. Now it's slightly irrelevant, but still cool.
The.Wheezing.Ghost
rugrats used to be better now it sucks that they have Chuckie having a mother and sister and Tommy having Dil, it's stupid.
cheese is funny
i would just like to take this time to say that the adventures of pete and pete is on nick for me right now... ahhh... memories flooding back of a childhood i cant remember... biggrin.gif

Just to let you know, the pink and orange furry things' names were Bog and Quagmire.

By the way does anyone remember the Christmas episode of Eureka's Castle? I loved it!! Magellan went out to find a Christmas tree, with that yellow furry thing. What was it's name? Well he got lost and they all came to find him and ended up having Christmas there because they got lost too. That's as much as I can remember. Please let me know if you can remember more of it or the show in general.

on this article of the newspaper, they called it 'Rocko's modern world'
But it was soooo rocko's modern life, because i remember the theme song.
i loved that show sooo much, with the dog, spunky, and the cow, heffer, and the turtle that would always say 'i'm naucious, i'm naucious'.
Oh, and Invader Zim is great, too.
Viva los Jhonen Vasquez!
monosodiumglutemate
wow..
all these TV memories..
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside..
this is the stuff I watched while in my footie pajamas on the kitchen floor..
(I think I wore footie pj's 'till I was 12 or so o_o)
mainly "Are you afraid of the dark"
wow
I thought I was the only one who watched this stuff!
"Pete and Pete"
"are you afraid of the dark"
"Rocko's modern life"
"eureka's castle"
"angry beavers"
and "all that" before it started sucking..
those were my favorite shows, dude! ^-^
(sorry for the use of 'dude', but.. this is just so awesome)
and as for Zim..
I have soo many Zim shirts and a Gir keychain and the first DVD and even..
sparkly green & black gir arm warmers o_o
(zim is still on, it's been crammed onto nick2, a channel we get by satellite TV and I think was designed for Europe)
I still cant get over the fact there are people other than me who know these shows once existed..
Quoth(The Raven)
Anyone remember 'You can't do that on Television'? Or am I just being an old fogey, again? I loved that show!
Tuco
I never really got to see "You Can't do That on Television"... Only tele shows from Nick that I was hooked on were "Salute Your Shorts", "Ren and Stimpy", "Wild and Crazy Kids" and "Doug".... I also enjoyed Nick at Night.. With shows like "I Love Lucy" and "Bewitched", who wouldn't? =D
monosodiumglutemate
OH! OH! Salute your shorts!!
I LOVED that show! o_o!!
