Best Old Nickelodeon Show

[Spooky]

I'd say Pete and Pete, Hey Dude, or Salute your Shorts.


Discuss.

MAD MOVIES >:

[ItalianStereotype]

well, of all time it would have to be ren and stimpy.

[kinot]

David the Gnome or Rocko's Modern Life

[Misinformation Man]

DID YOU KNOW:

Nickelodeon is named after Earl H. Nickelodeon. He was a former head of the Ku Klux Klan. To this day, only pure white Americans run the station.

[Zbu Manowar]

Well, that would explain why they run the Cosby Show now, wouldn't it? ;)

But I'd be lying if I didn't mention that Kenan and Kel made me laugh a few times. Of course, that show had some really funky problems with either lead losing their clothing to a horrifying extent or some really obvious homosexual stuff going on. I mean, what kind of Nick show would show a fatass like Kenan running home with his already stretched out shirt trying to cover his minuscle package? UGH!!

[CastroMotorOil]

I'd agree that Salute Your Shorts was probably the best but a close runner up would have to be Legends of the Hidden temple, just because I loved watching the stupid kids run through that maze,/building thing and miss the relic thing 100000000 times in a row. Then get caught by the "guards" and scream. Saw one girl cry once, best episode ever.

[Jixby Phillips]

Pete and Pete. definiately Pete and Pete.

[CastroMotorOil]

Artie kicked ass cuz he was "the Strongest Man..................IN THE WORLD"

[Bennett]

"Out of Control."
Salute your shorts was great, mostly because of Donkey-lips, who, by the way, has a great part in Dude where's my car?

[The Retro Kat]

Yeah, Pete and Pete was great. Remember when Artie and Pete fought the ocean. Or the episode with inspector 27. Good times.

Figures that you would like Doug.

[Jixby Phillips]

:lol VERY EXPENSIVE :lol

[Mockery]

Pete & Pete, You Can't Do That On Television, Turkey TV, Out Of Control, Pinwheel, and of course Invader Zim.

[Bennett]

How could I or anyone else forget to mention the DangerMouse, Bannana Man combo?

[pissed off salesman]

I liked the episode of pete and pete with the evil PAPERCUT!!!!! after seeing that episode i always hat a stock of tin foil ninja stars. Also i think the temple guards on that one show liked the kids a little TOO much they always looked like they were trying to hump those kids when they grabbed them

[Generator86]

You Can't Do That On Television, definitely. And wasn't Double Dare on Nick? I think Ren and Stimpy just goes without saying.

[executioneer]

you guys have never even SEEN mad movies have you >:

-willie

[kinot]

ROUNDHOUSE :lol

[Peachy720]

1. Today's Special
2. Out of Control
3. Belle and Sebastian
4. You Can't Do That On Television
5. Don't Just Sit There

[Systemz]

TODAY'S SPECIAL! Christ, that had to be the worst show. It was like a mix of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Data from Star Trek. I put my vote in for Ren and Stimpy.

[Les Waste]

NICK ARCADE >:

[CastroMotorOil]

Wild and Crazy Kids, come on who did not watch this show even though it was amazingly retarded. Sometime i wonder about my taste as a child.......well and now too.

[Bennett]

wuh, wuh, Wild and Crazy KIDS!

good call zorak. I remember watching that show with what I call "Double Dare Frustation." Which occurs when you're more yelling at the contestants for being so stupid than actually watching the show.

[unclehobart]

You can't do that on television. I was 9 when that show started ... hell.. when cable tv started to get into its stride in the late 70s. It did a better job af raising me than my parents ever did.

[Rygo]

pete and pete for sure. that show made you laugh, cry, and kinda go like "Hmm cewl"
plus iggy pop ownz
(ja rule 2nd pl8ce)

[Skulhedface]

1.Pete and Pete
2.Ren and Stimpy (pre-Nickelodeon takeover of Spumco*)
3.Salute Your Shorts
4.You Can't Do That On Television
5.SpongeBob Squarepants**

*= (here's where I'm gonna sound like a News Nerd) Viacom, the company that owns Nick, also owns the new TNN. Nickelodeon relinquished rights of R&S to Viacom, the parent company, and Viacom handed them down to TNN. TNN then, essentially, gave the rights to Ren and Stimpy back to Spumco (JOY!!) and so NEW!! Ren and Stimpy eps will be shown on TNN starting this summer.

**= Mock me if you want, but anything that has Pantera on it, even once, automatically kicks ass

[placebo009]

how can anyone forget about 'are you afraid of the dark'? or was i just the only moron who watched it?

and someone should be shot for liking sponge bob. that show ruined my life!...or at least nickelodeon.

[Zbu Manowar]

Nah, if anything ruined Nick it was definitely Rugrats and the hypocritical stance that toilet humor was only funny if it was in a cartoon that pandered to parents. Spongebob (and Invader Zim) were and are good shows simply because it's manically funny. I can't understand why anybody would bother with Rugrats at all, personally.

[The Unseen]

Legends of the Aztec temple, AAaah! Real Monsters and the show when the kids were in the video game

[placebo009]

good call with the AHhh! Real Monsters!

but that's still not an adequate excuse for sponge bob. maybe it's just one of those 'stupid humor' things that i will never understand. but he deffinatly makes me want to shoot myself in the head.

[Skulhedface]

and someone should be shot for liking sponge bob. that show ruined my life!...or at least nickelodeon.

as I said, there's only one way I can answer this:



Mock me if you want, but anything that has PANTERAon it even once, automatically kicks ass

Yes, that means PANTERA, the SAME Pantera everyone knows and should love, played for an episode of SpongeBob, which, I might add, I caught on accident. I was flipping channels and noticed the stupid SpongeBob theme but then I saw "With Special Guest:" and the PANTERA logo.

[placebo009]

pantera???? :suicide

[Skulhedface]

Yup. Minus Phil Anselmo of course (You can't just flip thru channels, see Pantera, be a metalhead and NOT watch it.)

No vocals, but of course Dimebag kicks ASS.

[Cybernetico]

Hehe, never heard of the new ren and stimpy, that sounds great. But what about that viacom thing? Doesnt MTV own nick and stuff?

PS misinformed man, I take it your name means your know nothing, I'll just straighten it out:

I'm not sure if this is the WHOLE truth, but here ya go. Nickelodeons were old machines in stores, just like those candy machines we see in grocery stores. Back before TV, they put a film strip in the thing, and you could watch it through a hole. Like an ancient style of of those wierd contraptions where you looked into the box and cranked the thing, and it showed soundless mickey mouse things in it. But this you put a cent in and it pleased the kiddies with the high-tech picture thingy.

So, whatever owned nick thought "Hey, back in the day a nickelodeon was a stupid thing that moms could use to shut thier kids up". Therefor, nickelodeon now has bad shows t& stuff that moms use to shut thier kids up. Just stick it in thier face and they pipe down before you kill them.

As for my list:

1. Ren and Stimpy

This show was just too funny, and they said mildly bad words in the early eps to keep us entertained. Too bad Nickelodeon noticed.

2. Wild and Crazy Kids

YEEHAW. Donny Jeffcoat and Omar Gooding (recognize the name? He was Cuba Gooding Jr's bro. DANGIT OMAR MADE HIM WHAT HE IS!). Did you know that the redhead was only there for one season because she was really like...30? She jsut dressed and loked like a teen. She got pregnant!

3. That zany shorts camp thing (I keep thinking "Eat my shorts" and I cant remember the name

Donkey Lips owned. Remember when budnick and the one with the yellow hair pretended to vomit so they didnt go on a trip. They had like ketchup and corn in there. That show was pure brilliance

[Cybernetico]

YES

That was it, "Salute your shorts"

[Skulhedface]

Cyber: About Viacom...

I assume you know about 'parent companies' (Don't fret, I'm not mocking you, it's just essential to know what one is to understand the relationship)

Viacom is the parent company for Nick, TNN, and yes, MTV. MTV does indeed own Nickelodeon, but both answer to Viacom.

It's sort of like this (every level up establishes ownership)

VIACOM
/ \
TNN MTV
\
Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon bought the rights for Ren and Stimpy from Spumco (I won't explain this, I assume you already know) and ran it into the ground. Well, fast forward a few years. Nickelodeon relinquished the rights to the characters to Viacom, their parent company, meaning Nickelodeon still has the right to air the old R&S episodes if they choose to, because the old episodes are indeed owned by Nickelodeon, however, since Viacom handed the rights to the characters back to TNN, only TNN (or whoever they sublet the rights to, say an animation company) may make new episodes of Ren and Stimpy.

TNN is planning a new block of adult-oriented animation programming in Summer 2003, and Ren and Stimpy happened to be one of the projects TNN was into. (This following part is my own speculation) TNN knew that without the original creators of Ren & Stimpy, which is Spumco, that the old fans who might be interested would shit all over it, and John K. himself has expressed interest in reviving the series. (personal speculation over) So TNN 'sublet' the rights back to Spumco (meaning Spumco now once again owns the characters it created, but still must ask for TNN's approval to merchandise the characters) and now, Spumco is working on 6 new eps. of R&S for Summer 2003.

If memory serves, they plan on showing all 52 (I believe) original episodes of R&S (which is technically legal, since Viacom owns Nickelodeon and doesn;t have to pay a DIME) and the next night they will show the first of 6 new eps. of Ren and Stimpy.

Sorry that was so long. Hope that helps.

PS The mildly bad words will be a little more wilder. Think "Adult Swim" :)

[Cybernetico]

I knew about Parent Companies, I jsut didn't think MTV could be bossed around by anyone else, being one of the biggest channels out there.

[Skulhedface]

Yea, EVERYONE'S gotta answer to someone. Even Microsoft (although they don't ACT like it)

[Jeanette X]

The Adventures of Pete and Pete, hands down. I have taped most of the episodes since they began showing it again on Noggin.
3rd season older Pete was so cute...male jailbait. :love Too bad he's 27 now...
Endless Mike was also pretty damn cool.

[Jeanette X]

Yeah, Pete and Pete was great. Remember when Artie and Pete fought the ocean. Or the episode with inspector 27. Good times.

It was Inspector 34, actually.

[Skulhedface]

Did you see that new movie Slackers? It ruined not only Pete and Pete for me but also that 70s Show.

But he does look cool with those big ass porkchops.

[Jeanette X]

No...I didn't see Slackers. I heard it was terrible. Did you see Snow Day? Its the Pete and Pete movie, except the actors were different and with different charachter names.

[Skulhedface]

I saw bits and pieces of it. Couldn't stay awake (from lack of sleep, not boredom)

[Esuohlim]

You Can't Do That On Television was always my favorite. Actually, nearly all of them were good, except for Doug. "OMG, I'M AFRAID TO GET MY HAIRCUT, JOURNAL!">:

Pete and Pete is definitely second. Then Salute Your Shorts.

Thanks for gaying-up Nickelodeon, Rocket Power and CatDog.>:

[Zbu Manowar]

It's not so much Nick as it's pandering to children instead of raising them which is killing Children's Television. Educational is another way to say 'why the fuck should we teach them?'

[drumaster]

Im surprised no one said SPACE CASES, that was good for awhile, then Salute your shorts, and hey dude

[Matt Harty]

Space Cases!

[Bennett]

refresh my memory on Space Cases...
sounds familiar... what premise and around what year?

[ShanghaiOrange]

Space Cases was like Star Trek: Voyager for kids. It was around '96 I think, which was probably the last good year for Nickelodeon. Angry Beavers was pretty good, but once that show started, it was the beginning of the end for Nick.

Personal favorites:
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Rocko's Modern Life (Best Nick toon by far)

Most of the shows were seem alot better now then they were then, just because of the whole nostalgia factor, but those two were and still are two of the best shows ever. I wish I got Noggin. :(

[Atheist Martyr]

Whaaaaaat? No mention of INSPECTOR GADGET?? Wtf? *points to avatar*

I don't care what you say, inspector gadget owned. I always wanted one of those computer book things. Now I can just get a laptop, I guess.

1. Inspector Gadget
2. You can't do that on television - Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there an episode where one of the kids shits in the bathtub? Pure classic, and so politically incorrect. Which is something you wouldn't see on Nick these days with all the paranoia of how television affects kids and all that shit. I mean, look at us, we're normaly developed adults now...aren't we?
3. Ren and Stimpy - I saw a commercial on tnn the other day about them showing new episodes of Ren and Stimpy, at first I thought they were just going to show "rare" episodes or what have you...but they're actually going to make NEW ren and stimpys? If they are, that would be maximum ownage. I just hope they don't ruin it.
4. Roundhouse - shut up, I liked it :P
And finally....
5. Bannanaman - Just because some of my earliest memories is me sitting in the house with my dad and watching Bananaman and Danger mouse :)

[Immortal Goat]

WOW, looks like most of the REALLY good shows were taken already, but you forget one essential series. Do do do do you have it? GUTS!!!

[Esuohlim]

GLOBAL Guts was just plain retarded. Imagine traveling 10,000 miles just to win a large piece of glow-in-the-dark plastic. I'd be pissed of at the US just like everyone else in the world.

[Immortal Goat]

GLOBAL Guts, yes. I hated Global, but the first GUTS show was just U.S. people, and at the time, it rocked.

[Professor Cool]

Pete and Pete most definately. I have almost ever episode in my video library. That show should still be on today.

Does anyone remeber when they showed The Wonder Years to pass it off as a new show "Cause Kevin Arnold is a kid like you, 10 years ago.."

[Jeanette X]

Pete and Pete is shown in reruns on the-n channel.

[Schimid]

Nickelodeon used to be awesome before trying to appeal to the teenagers (Rocket Power, As Told By Ginger)

They need more shows like Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy.

That show they have now, "The Fairly Oddparents" is pretty funny, even with being unbearably cheesy.

[Esuohlim]

Nickelodeon used to be awesome before trying to appeal to the teenagers.

The problem actually lies in the fact that they are trying to appeal to the retarded children.

[HickMan]

Were they on crack when they decided it would be a good idea to make those cartoons? Those shows plus the Wild Thornberries suck beyond belief. It makes me sad to think that the great t.v. network that had such treasures mentioned above me, has complete and utter crap on it now. I was watching t.v. one time and I turned on Nickelodeon and I saw the worst thing they ever thought up of... Pick Boy. Do you know how scared I felt when I saw some 22 or over guy in spandecks? But talkin about the best t.v. show, Pete and Pete.

[liquidstatik]

I never really liked Pete and Pete that much. :/ Anyway here are my personal favs:

1 - Invader Zim
2 - Ren and Stimpy
3 - Rocko's Modern Life

The new shows that I personally HATE:

1 - The Amanda show >:
2 - All That >:
3 - Kenan and Kell >:
4 - The Wild Thornberrys >:

I haven't seen the commercial for the new ren and stimpy shows, when they suppose to start?

[Skulhedface]

I haven't seen the commercial for the new ren and stimpy shows, when they suppose to start?


Supposedly, sometime between next month and August, on the New TNN which is about to turn into SPIKE, the first cable channel for MEN.

They're already playing commercials for it, where they make fun of the fact that John K. is back in control again by having John's face on a video monitor and hinting oh-so-obviously that he has control of it again. On the plus side, it will definitely make it great to watch again, and this time they have carte blanche more or less, because they're allowing them to gear R&S towards adults.

[Kurodo]

I saw the commercial for the new R & S a few times while I was watching Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (aka. the Japanese Oppression Show. Watch it if you ever get the chance). I'm glad that it's gonna be on again, but they better not ruin it. :(

Oh, and Rocko's Modern Life was my favorite. :love

Someone told me they're showing reruns on the weekends now, but its not the same. :(

[Cap'n Crunch]

Rocko's Modern Life. Ren and Stimpy. :)

I can't believe no one metioned MY BROTHER AND ME! :love

[Schimid]

Remember that show "The Secret World Of Alex Mack"? That show was so gay.

And All That used to be funny before they ruined every goddamn skit with the same "LOL! WATCH US SCREAM AND GET MESSY! WE'RE FUNNY!"

I loved Ishbu. :(

[Schimid]

http://victorian.fortunecity.com/russell/105/epptm.jpg

>:

[Esuohlim]

I can't believe no one metioned MY BROTHER AND ME! :love

That's because there were, like, three episodes and they all sucked.

[Cap'n Crunch]

But you can't go wrong with cherry lollipops. :rolleyes

I think the black kid had a white friend who was a nerd. He was afraid of spiders too. >:

[Esuohlim]

Those cherry lollipops were red pepper. Alfie was playing tricks! :eek

[HickMan]

Hey who remembers the episode of My Brother and me when Alfie and Goo were wondering what they would do when they became basketball stars. Air Alfie's and Goo Punch. That was the best episode. Even though that's not saying much. Goo Punch! All the Ladies! Goo Punch! All the Fellas!


Man I hated that show.

[kilmie polanski]

WHAT ABOUT *WELCOME FRESHMEN* FOGGOTS >:

[Schimid]

HOLY SHIT, I remember that "Goo Punch" thing.

What was "My Brother And Me" about again? I know I used to like it, but I can't remember a damn think about it. That "Goo Punch" thing brought it back.

[Esuohlim]

Some black family. There was a Dad, a Mom, the oldest sister Melanie, the oldest brother Alfie, and the youngest brother DeeDee (LOL).

Alfie had a best friend named Goo (Milton) who had a crush on Melanie, and Melanie knew but he hated him anyway.

DeeDee had two best friends, Harry (the geeky white kid) and the other black kid who I can't remember his name. He had a sister that was best friends with Melanie and hated Goo too.

The only episodes I remember are Goo cutting DeeDee's hair so that it looked like some guy on TV, then he ended up getting his head shaved. There was one where Goo lost his memory by hitting his head. There was one where DeeDee ran away, and there was one with a bully at school the was a girl.

They all sucked and I can't believe I actually watched this show. :(

[Cap'n Crunch]

That theme song was catchy though. :(

My Brother and Me Theme Song :( (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/sounds/mybrotherandme.wav)

[Esuohlim]

LOL :(

I haven't heard that theme song in six or seven years and I found myself humming it with complete accuracy after listening to the first two or three seconds. :(

I don't care how much it sucks, I actually want to watch it again now. :(

[Schimid]

Holy jeez! I remember this show now! :faint

This used to be my favorite show on Nickelodeon. I remember wanting Alfie's room because it was kickass.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Alfie's room was just like any other room.:/ OMG, I forgot about that cheap basketball net on his wall.:(

[Schimid]

That was why. :(

[executioneer]

mad movies :(

-willie

[Cap'n Crunch]

That was why. :(

You don't have a house, do you?

[Esuohlim]

OH FUCK, THAT THEME IS STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW. :(

Seriously. :( :(

[Cap'n Crunch]

GOO PUNCH.
ALL THE LADIES.
GOO PUNCH.
ALL THE FELLAS.
GOO PUNCH.
GOO PUNCH.

Hey, does anyone remember Skate TV? I just sat there and laughed at the fat metalhead host. :lol

[liquidstatik]

Skate TV still comes on(re-runs I think) some channel like WAM or BAM or SPAM or some gay name like that.

[puke511]

the best old nickelodeon show was salute your shorts... followed by pete and pete then my brother and me... even though it only had 4 episodes...

[Cap'n Crunch]

It had 13. I actually checked.

[HickMan]

Legends of the Hidden Temple >: This show sucked :posh

[Schimid]

THE PURPLE PARROTS!
THE SILVER SNAKES!
THE BLUE BARACUDAS!
THE GREEN MONKEYS!
THE ORANGE IGUANAS!
THE RED...

...I forget. :(

[HickMan]

THE RED JAGUIRES. IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD BURN

lol :( I hate myself for knowing that.

[Schimid]

Oh, yeah. It'd be easier to remember if they were the Red Racoons. :(

[puke511]

legends of the hidden temple is on noggin still... :( ... why dont they bring back a good show like salute your shorts or my brother and me on noggin.

[HickMan]

BECAUSE THEY'RE GAY. >: >: >: >:

[Drew Katsikas]

Excuse me folks, but Global GUTS kicked major fucking ass. Not becuase it was actually a good show or anything, but for one reason. MIKE O' MALLEY!! This guy was the man, because he got so pumped up about the kids who played the dumb little games. He called them incredible athletes numerous times and would scream at the top of his lungs incessantly. It is so funny to watch it now.

[Esuohlim]

NO. GLOBAL GUTS SUCKS. MIKE O'MALLEY SUCKS. YES, DEAR SUCKS. THE VOICE OF THE DAD ON BABY BLUES SUCKS. >:

[puke511]

mike o'mally rules! it is really funny seeing him yell at the top of his lungs.... but the person i hated on guts was mo.... >:

[HickMan]

She's a Brit. What do you expect from a Brit?

[executioneer]

HONEST TO GOD HAVE NONE OF YOU FAGES EVEN SEEN MAD MOVIES :(

-willie

[SLjimbo]

My favorite Nick show was definitely Pete & Pete (who remembers the Sick Day episode?), Wild & Crazy Kids, Inspector Gadget, and Rocko's Modern Life.



But PINWHEEL was definitely NOT my favorite show.....most disturbing puppets EVER!!!!!!! :shocked :shocked

http://www.johnsrealmonline.com/classicnick/pinwheel/ebeneezer1.gifhttp://www.johnsrealmonline.com/classicnick/pinwheel/orelia1.gif

[Drew Katsikas]

Word up, Pete and Pete was and is still the shit! You can still see it on Noggin, I'm sure you know. I have even caught some episodes I had never seen during my childhood.

[Biff Kilowatt]

Heh, Ug has done voice-overs for anime.

[ScruU2wice]

Excuse me folks, but Global GUTS kicked major fucking ass. Not becuase it was actually a good show or anything, but for one reason. MIKE O' MALLEY!!

is that the one where they had climb the smokin mountain at the end?

[Jeanette X]

If I wrote Pete and Pete fan fiction, would anyone here be interested in reading it?

[HickMan]

Yeah sure. :) Why not.

[Jeanette X]

Yeah sure. :) Why not.
Even if it was Big Pete/Endless Mike slash? ;)

[HickMan]

Anything Endless Mike rules. He was the best character aside from Artie. I saw the actor who played Endless Mike in some vw commercial. True talent wasted with that one. :(

[Jeanette X]

He was in Band of Brothers. Go rent it if you can.

i believe it was called the Agro Krag
..i miss those tumbling cardboard boulders :(

[CastroMotorOil]

The Agro Crag was great becasue every epsode they tried to make it seem more dangerous and scary. Mo says- "well mike we lost a kid yesterday and had to hire sherpas to go find him, oh and 2 days ago 5 kids fell to their deaths. And this week one of the temple gaurds from legends of the hidden temple will bludgeon kids to death with a crowbar."

[ScruU2wice]

1.Double Dare/Finders Keepers-What kid in the late 80's didn't want to become contestants just to steal a bunch of shit off the sets?

[ScruU2wice]

Are you afraid of the dark?

[CastroMotorOil]

Mark Summers is my hero

[the_dudefather]

i wonder what the white shit they threw over the fire was in are you afraid of the dark?

maybe some dealer left his cocane supply near the camp.

"now for the tale....(woosh)...of the spooky teapot!"
"hey what are you kids doin with ma stash"
"what you mean this mystical powery stuff, be burn it mister"
"YOU JUST BURNNED 10,000 BUCKS WORTH OF COKE!"
(comical escapades follow)

the one episode i really remember was the haunted cab episode and they had to solve riddles

"its a hole! its a hole in the barrel!"

[hdofu]

Welcome Freshmen

[EverythingWillSuck]

Angry Beavers and Weinerville.

[Professor Cool]

DONT HOLD YOUR BREATHHHH

Anyone remeber ship to shore, about those stupid kids, and they like beaching around or something???

[Zebra 3]

You Can't Do That On Television was always my favorite.
:( - Holy shit, that show is still on TV! YCDTOTV was produced in my hometown, and I used to watch it in its original run - Saturday morning, hungover and in between puking sessions. By the way, in case you haven't noticed, singer Alanis Morissette was a cast member for a couple years.

[Esuohlim]

You Can't Do That on Television had better put out all 143 episodes on 21 discs in the next month or so or I will kill myself. >:

[Emu]

TNN is planning a new block of adult-oriented animation programming in Summer 2003, and Ren and Stimpy happened to be one of the projects TNN was into. (This following part is my own speculation) TNN knew that without the original creators of Ren & Stimpy, which is Spumco, that the old fans who might be interested would shit all over it, and John K. himself has expressed interest in reviving the series. (personal speculation over) So TNN 'sublet' the rights back to Spumco (meaning Spumco now once again owns the characters it created, but still must ask for TNN's approval to merchandise the characters) and now, Spumco is working on 6 new eps. of R&S for Summer 2003.

PS The mildly bad words will be a little more wilder. Think "Adult Swim" :)

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but Jesus Tapdancing Christ the new Ren and Stimpy sucks. It's all a bunch of gay jokes that would only amuse a few 13 year olds who just had their first wet dreams.

[Professor Cool]

what time is Jesus Tapdancing Christ on? Sounds like a smashing good show.

[Emu]

2 AM Eastern on B.E.T.

[Jixby Phillips]

That channel is for black people though!!!! :lol

[HickMan]

Yeah, Pete and Pete was great. Remember when Artie and Pete fought the ocean. Or the episode with inspector 27. Good times.

It was inspector 34 as I recall.

Pete and Pete is the best show on t.v. period.

Jeez, strange memories on this lonely night in Anchorage.

Obscure references aside, I recall the hey-day of Nick with relish. I remember how my parents would FORBID me to watch Ren & Stimpy. Of course, they also forbade Beavis & Butthead, huhuh, and we all know how well that went, don't we buttmunch? Huhuh.

Shit, I remember I watched Nick all the damn time. Until Cartoon Network came along. Now honestly, Nick had nothing to compete with Thundarr the Barbarian, or Centurions, or Galdar. The only thing they did have was Looney Tunes, and eventually Cartoon Network was like "What the hell are you doing with that? GIMME!"

Wow, nostalgia is hitting me upside the head like the dank odor of Gak, remember that stuff? Smelled like someone tried to perfume horseshit and fuse it with silly putty and sell it to kids.

Does anyone remember Danger Mouse and Count Duckula? I found those entertaining as a child. I have to say You can't do that on television was one of my fav's.

I don't remember Mad Movies, sorry.

Are you afraid of the dark kicked ass as well. So did Rocko, Pete and Pete.
