What is considered "Old School Nickelodeon"?

posted by cressida

We all amor Old School Nickelodeon ... otherwise y'all wouldn't be a part of this spot. But what and when does OSN exactly refer to? Does it refer to the '80s? '90s? '00s? There seems to be a lot of debate over which shows can be considered OSN (which is great -- please debate more) but here is a lista of Nickelodeon shows from the 1980s-1990s, the prime OSN years, as based upon their airings in the US. Hyperlinked shows are the programs most agreed upon as being part of the OSN subset. But what do tu think? Which show(s) would tu include/not include under the "Old School Nickelodeon" category?

I would like to argue that OSN begins around 1990 and starts to conclude around 1997 based on the dates of the popular OSN-recognized shows. Would tu agree?

megloveskyle BTW..This is a great example on how a soapbox article should be written. You can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it. If I missed I think a Cressida's Guideline to Writing a Soapbox Article is due.

dave Yes YCDTOT is a CLASSIC and original Old School Nick show. Just don't ever say "I Don't Know" or you'll regret it.

cressida Maybe I did watch it but my faulty memory is attributing its episodes to another show. But it is now part of the OSN collection.

Qeropunk whoever said it is right!! You Can't Do That On Television is THE point in television history when Nickelodeon became synonymous with slime!! YCDTOTV is Definitely old school and DEFINITELY a classic. Does anyone remember "The World of David the Gnome" and that Grimm's Fairy Tale show (I can't remember the exact name). Those were two of my favorites!

figure-it-out I believe figure it out, finders keepers, pretty much all the game shows (GAS) that were created at Nickelodeon studios in orlando during the 90s-00s are highly considered as classics or old school, eureeka's castle and David the gnome are classics of Nick Jr, Pinweel as one of the first shows to air on Nick is by default an old school show, and what about Pete and Pete, I think you need to start hyperlinking a few more shows and I agree with you cant do that on television man thats how we got the slime!

pflipper16 yea i can't believe that you did not include pete and pete in the OSN catagory. very good show and deserves to be included

dolphinlover16 In my opinion, Figure It Out and Hey Arnold aren't classic enough to be considered Old School Nick. They were pretty good shows (well Figure it Out was) but when I think about Old School Nickelodeon, I don't consider them classics. They're a bit too recent as Kenan and Kel was. I was born in 1986. I don't mean to consider myself snobbish, but I am really at the tail end of growing up with the Nick classics. Eureeka's Castle should also be considered at least a Nick Jr classic though I hated that show. I agree that the mid to late 80's and the early 90's are what should be considered Old School Nickelodeon.

wmarcus1203 List of shows forgotten, dont know if they are considered OSN because some of them werent originally aired on Nick. But they were shows on Nick back when these other shows were on. Animorphs Alvin and the chipmunks Garfeild and Friends Journey of Allen Strange Looney Tunes Muppet babies Nick news Pinky and the Brain Rocky and Bullwinkle The Wonder years

ilana93095 i think oh yeah cartoons in 1998 was the best and ren and stimpy...omgee i love that showww

good-old-daysX See i grew up with Roundhouse as what i would always watch and not a lot of people know what that show was about...but i LOVED that show...*singing* "Whenever life gets me so down i know i can go down to where the part charges up every year.And when the music is playing,you know what I'm saying.I know where i can find a friend! DOWN AT THE ROUNDHOUSE!!!"...wow...brings back memories...

TDI_Angel I think OSN ended around 2002 or 2001... Considering I may be 13, but I remember KABLAM and AAH! Real Monsters!. Shouldn't "100 Good Deeds for Eddie McDowd" be up there?

xxXsk8trXxx I remember new episodes of Rugrats in 05. Ren and Stimpy isn't off air, it just got transfered to Spike TV. Try to see it. Drake and Josh, Invader Zim, and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide would be considered old school Nickelodean also 6teen, believe it or not, was originaly on Nick. It got transfered to Telletoon and Cartoon Network. The idea is the same, but the characters and setting aren't. Doug is now a newspaper comic Fairly Odd Parents and Spondgebob wouldn't be considered old school nickelodean because they're still making new episodes My top 4: 1. Ren and Stimpy (I still watch it XD) 2. Rugrats 3. All That 4. Hey Arnold! there's also that show with surfers and skateboarders who lived in the beach. I remember that one of the character's names is Sam. There's one girl, and three guys. Their uncle works at a snack bar and he believes in Hawwaian or something Sound framilar? If it does, what is it called?

amhguy4 Hey, it is called Rocket Power lol. My favorite episode is that they went to biggest theme park with alot of skateboards in it like be in dark tunnel waterslide with lights. It was awesome lol. And their talk styles too.

ddboy29 They should create a "Nick Rewind" channel that only airs the shows you mentioned above and a couple of others that first aired in the early 2000s like "Taina, Rocket Power, The Brothers Garcia, and As Told By Ginger."

ddboy29 Nickelodeon should bring these programs back on television.

Melissa1978 I grew up on basically all the shows I listed.....I never watched any of the cartoons with the exception of David the Gnome,Adventures of the Little Koala and Muppet babies.In my opinion all those shows on that list and my own are OSN

kndkid96 Anybody remember "Oh Yeah! Cartoons"? I think that's considered "old-school Nickelodeon"

LinaHarrow Awww... I remember a few of those shows, I haven't seen as many as you all probley have, I don't even know why I'm in this club. Later....

123moo123 I agree with xxXsk8trXxx.

invaderzimemo WHAT ABOUT INVADER ZIM!!!!!!

PikaPower I would include the following shows to consider "Old School" Nickelodoen": Blue's Clues, Rocket Power, Wild Thornberrys, Fairly OddParents, CatDog, Gullah Gullah Island, and Little Bear. This my OSN

mrsnewyork98 Animorphs Alvin and the chipmunks Garfeild and Friends Journey of Allen Strange Looney Tunes Muppet babies Nick news Pinky and the Brain Rocky and Bullwinkle The Wonder years

ZeldaQueen I consider your hole list to be OSN....all 80's and 90's shows are for the most part classic OSN. You forgot a couple animorphs, Rupert, and I would take hey Arnold off the list, it sucks!
