Board 8 > "The 90s are All That" block kind of makes me sad.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mainly because it made me realize that All That actually sucked.

I realized All That wasn't all that good a long time ago, so that was no big deal.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"

Yeah, but don't tell Zazi about that. He thinks Josh is god.

But, I recently went back to Hey Arnold, and that show is still good.

It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

Hey Arnold is definitely still good, it's a legitimately well-written show.

Are you trying to say it isn't all that?

I haven't actually watched All That in a long time, but I did enjoy it way back when. Still, I always got the feeling that it benefits greatly from the nostalgia filter.

That block is so mediocre. Doug is top-tier, but Keenan and Kel, All That and Clarissa are all the shows I couldn't sit through as a kid and still can't today. Keenan and Kel is alright I guess, but there are many, many other shows they could fill that slot with instead.

So are they still not showing Salute Your Shorts? That, Doug, Hey Arnold and Rocko should all be on there.

Also, they really need put re-runs of Legends of the Hidden Temple, Guts, or Double Dare on there. Preferably all 3, or at least Guts.

Positive. I wasn't a huge fan of Guts. I mean, I watched it, but out of all their kid action shows (including Wild & Crazy Kids), it was my least favorite.

Let's bring back Nick Arcade while we're at it.

I loved/hated Nick Arcade. I loved watching a show about video games, but I hated that the kids were always so BAD. Like, failing the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog bad.

Yeah, I know. It was like watching kids fail to assemble the Silver Monkey the entire time.

Adventures of Pete & Pete is great.

You know, one of the things that always puzzled me about Nick's lineup was that "My Brother and Me" only ran for one season, but then they did reruns of that one season for the next five years.

Beg for them to bring back 90's television.

They bring back 90's television.

Complain that they brought back the wrong 90's television.

I actually am fine with what they brought back. I'd prefer Salute Your Shorts over everything, but it's cool. I don't really get to comment because I'm not going to watch it anyway. So it doesn't even matter. I actually liked all of Nick's old shows, excluding Pete and Pete.

also have the Carmen San Diego game show?

Which is another show that should be brought back.

Was Carmen Sandiego PBS? We didn't get Nick in Canada, but I had both the Seattle and Detroit PBS affiliates, and Carmen Sandiego was on both.

I can't imagine that show holds up well. Kid game shows are hokey.

Yeah, Carmen Sandiego was on PBS. Still remember that theme song, too.

I'm looking at the wikipedia page for this block and I have no idea what half of the shows are.

Doug
Hey Arnold!
The Ren & Stimpy Show
Rocko's Modern Life
Rugrats
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
CatDog
The Secret World of Alex Mack

Those are the only shows I know. List needs more ReBoot and Beasties.

If I force myself to not look through nostalgia goggles then I have to admit that I would much rather watch episodes of Phineas and Ferb than most of Nick's classic shows anyways. It's just so good.

This is inadequate. P&P was Nick's best show.

Thinking Guts was better than Legends of the Hidden Temple is bad enough, but how can you not like Pete and Pete?

--
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/TheLastStriderX/The-X-Team/Tum.jpg

Legends was awesome. Guts was pretty awesome too. Totally agree with the opinions about Nick Arcade. Disagree with the opinion that All That was bad--well, the first few seasons were good, anyway; once Kenan, Kel, and Lori Beth left, it kind of went downhill. I think Pete and Pete was a good show, but I was too young to properly appreciate it at the time, so I really would appreciate it if they brought it back since I think I'd enjoy it more now than I did then.

I was right at the border of maturity for appreciating Pete and Pete when it was airing.

I remember being absurdly bored the very first time I watched it, but I don't think I understood what all was happening.

And then I gave it another try or two and suddenly saw the appeal.

Pete and Pete is legitimately good. It's not a bad sitcom like iCarly or Kenan and Kel, and its not terrible kids drama like Alex Mack or 100 Deeds of Eddy McDowell. It's just a genuinely clever, decently-acted show, with the kind of offbeat energy none of the other live-action Nick shows have had before or since.

--

Offbeat is right.
Artie the "World's Strongest Man" and Mr. Tastee were definitely stange sorts of characters.
