When Nickelodeon was COOL!

I would say the golden age of Nickelodeon was during the late 80s and early 90s.  I don't think there was a program on the network that I did not like!  Now I don't think I could even tell you a show that airs on Nick anymore {even with me working at a preschool}.  Ok now I'm gonna have to go look it up....OK I do know a couple shows, can you believe that The Fairly Odd Parents is on its 10,000 episode?!  And of course Spongebob is still there, I liked that as a kid, but I definitely have grown out of it.  Back in the day the Nick was soooooo much better.....

Cartoons aka Nick Toons.  They even made up their own word for cartoons...cool?  I think so!

1.  Rugrats:  Favorite episode: When they went looking for Ice Cream Mountain and Super Babies!

2.  Doug:  Favorite episode: Killer Tofu

3.  Rocko's Modern Life:  Favorite episode:  When Rocko shops at the grocery store's 99% off sale & when he goes on a shopping spree at the mall with his new credit card!  What can I say, I like shopping!

4.  Ren and Stimpy:  Favorite episodes:  Powdered Toast Man, Don't Wiz on the Electric Fence and LOG

5.  Angry Beavers:  Favorite episode:  The one where they try to stay up all night.  That was a kids biggest dream in life, am I right?!

6.  Hey Arnold:  Favorite episode:  There are WAY too many, but I did really love the pilot  when we saw it in front of the Rugrats movie!

7.  Ahh! Real Monsters:  Favorite episode:  Halloween episodes.

Game Shows.  Who did NOT want to be on one of these shows?  Raise your hand?!  That's what I thought!

1.  Double Dare.  I would have died to run that obstacle course!

2.  What Would You Do? I Loved the 'Wall o Stuff!'

3.  Legends of the Hidden Temple.  I wanted to be a Blue Barracuda.  Who didn't yell at the screen when the contestants were trying to put together the golden monkey?!  Seriously it's three pieces!

4.  Wild and Crazy Kids.  I always loved when they went to the theme parks and wanted one of the Ts!  Was able to get one at Comikaze this year!!

5.  Guts.  Who didn't wanted to climb the Argo Crag?!  I also loved the SNES game it was as close as I'd ever get to being on the show!

6.  Nick Arcade.  If you won you got to be INSIDE a video game!  Yeah AWESOME!

Snick & other Teen programing.

3.  Roundhouse.  I loved all the singing.

4.  All That.  Two words, Good Burger.

5.  Clarissa Explains It All.  I loved the side art she would put upon the screen.  She was like the inventor of the vlog!
