Old School Nick

[Dirk]

Nevertheless, I think we can all agree the real buried treasure here are the live action Nick programs-- I mean, Jesus, you can't even find a full episode of Welcome Freshmen on Youtube, this is a national crisis!

THIS. And it's sad, because despite loving Welcome Freshmen in the '90s, I can't remember a damn thing about it now. Same situation with Roundhouse.

What perplexes me about the shows mentioned in the press release is the inclusion of Danny Phantom, a show which is more recent than the others. (It premiered in 2004, whereas Rocko's Modern Life premiered in 1993, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters in 1994, Hey Arnold! in 1996, and The Wild Thornberrys in 1998.) Also, was it ever quite as popular as the others mentioned?

Another old Nick show gets a release from Shout!, Hey Dude (yippi-ki-yi-yay)

No love for Dennis the Menace season 1? I used to dig on this show when it was first shown on the burgeoning Nick at Nite time slot.

Over Salute Your Shorts? They need to employ me as a 90s pop culture guru because there's a priorities problem over at Shout

Are you talking about the old 50's live action show, or the 80's animated show? My father was a "supervising associate producer" on the animated one, according to IMDB. Even he has no idea what that credit means.

Not a Nick property since they were just airing the syndicated reruns. It is already available on DVD though (coincidentally from Shout! Factory).

Yes I'm aware. I have the 5 dvd set. I was just curious if anyone else got this.

RIGHT ON! I'd be the happiest person alive if the 2nd-4th seasons of this came out on DVD (Season 1 is available but it sucks compared to the next three).

Kind of off-topic, but speaking of Shout!, more Nickelodeon has been announced: Hey Arnold! and The Angry Beavers.

Also, as has been discussed ad nauseum at the Shout! forums, the Rocko's Modern Life set will NOT be uncut, apparently by Nickelodeon's request. So that's that.

Paging domino harvey (and a bunch of you other peeps): set your DVR for “The '90s Are All That.”

Thanks a lot, domino. I always like to start my Sunday with a ridiculous and embarrassing Amazon purchase.

For anyone following the Amanda Bynes bizarreness of the past couple months: Bynes has finally been held for a mental health evaluation after setting a fire in a stranger's driveway

[knives]

Well hopefully she actually gets good help and isn't just Brian Wilsoned.

Great article on the virtues of the Adventures of Pete and Pete

The greatest worst show of all time, My Brother and Me, is coming out via CreateSpace. I am tempted to break my no DVD-Rs rule, though I could probably recite every episode from memory given that Nick only produced thirteen episodes and aired them daily on weekends for at least six or seven years.

[jindianajonz]

I vaguely recall that one being on the air; why do you consider it the greatest worst show ever?

"Don't hold your brrreath!"

How on earth did this get pushed this through for release? There's no market for contemporary indie films on blu-ray but there's a market for this?

Because it is awful in every possible metric used to judge a TV show, and yet I saw it so many times as a kid that I have great fondness for its terribleness. I imagine most 90 kids understand the feeling!

90's nostalgia run amuck.

[domino harvey]

Guys, this is only eleven dollars right now on Amazon. There's basically no way I can justify not buying this. 90s Nostalgia 4ever #gushersfruitsnacks #pollypocket

[domino harvey]

I hope watching this again will fill that gaping emptiness within me

[jindianajonz]

Oh man, I remember feeling really conflicted as a traditionally raised boy when I saw those Polly Pocket commercials, at least until Mighty Max came out.
