That Nick Jr. ad is so wholesome. "Because you're only a kid once, but you're a person forever!" Combining fun with how-to-be-a-person skills is a wonderful goal for a TV channel.
2:04 I like the announcer audio over the closing credits of the show, it reminds me of watching 90's cable TV. I guess they helped the audience build more anticipation or patience that way because it's not streaming on demand
Little Debbie Snack Cakes- If I went to a school where dinosaurs regularly ate kids’ Little Debbie Snack Cakes, I would think about transferring to another school. Hamburger Helper- Cute idea to have a baby be one of the people taste testing this product.
28 years later and TV Land still shows Gunsmoke. I’d love to know how many times they have cycled through their available episodes, especially since they only show the later color episodes
Once TV Land came to my area I was hooked, especially with Hogan Heroes! Nick At Nite also picked up Happy Days in September 1996. Welcome Back Kotter got replaced by the Odd Couple in June on Nick At Nite Schedule!
Nick at night was the Chanel to watch classic television shows...I was a little underwhelmed that there weren't any wild and crazy 90s commercials from a Nickelodeon channel.
Nick at Nite promos definitely weren't "wild and crazy" or whatever stereotypes you might associate with 90's Nickelodeon...they were targeting an over-35 audience that was looking to unwind with some nostalgic TV. I think everyone here can relate to that.
I agree the dashboard on the Mercury car got me angry. Too.much.buttons! Also, I have a complain about Hamburger Helper - it's not the same as the one I had in the 90's (actually the same on the commercial). I now regret asking my uncle to send me a box of the stuff [actually he brought me Beef pasta, cheeseburger pasta and double cheeseburger pasta...and 1 stroganoff). The double cheeseburger has an unhealthy and unappetizing cheese powder sauce that has an unnerving neon orange color. I miss the Hamburger Helper of the 90's - the ones that my grandmother used to send to me in the Philippines. I'll stick to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
In its advertising, yes...they basically forced Nintendo to copy its advertising style by the mid 90's. However the Genesis hardware was severely outdated for the majority of the 16-bit era and they had to invent marketing gimmicks like "blast processing" and create additional hardware addons such as the Sega CD/32X to make the system seem more modern than a console originally developed in 1988.
Yeah by 1996 Nick at Nite was moving from the 1960s to the 1970s in their programming, I had watched it less it by that time but when The White Shadow came on I'd also shut it off. All the good stuff WAS on TV Land and we didn't get that channel until after 2000. But the commercials were still top notch.
The Sega Channel…Never got to use it, but definitely wanted to try it. Too bad it never got far, but I guess Sega was trying to push the Saturn, which was struggling against the PlayStation.
The Sega Channel required an adapter that fit into the cartridge slot, essentially a blank cartridge with 4MB of RAM. Games were then downloaded to this. Though internet speeds back then were slow, Genesis games were not terribly large in terms of file size, though some games on the service had to be pared down in order to fit.
It wasn't *actually* a blank cartridge as it also contained the Sega Channel software, but the adapter was used to connect to a cable provider and download the game roms to the 4MB of RAM to play on the console. Here is a look at what it was: th-cam.com/video/Boao_PRLdBk/w-d-xo.html
I don't have anything against channels that do this and I respect Dave's Archive or other channels that put watermarks on their videos. But it's never been something I've been interested in doing as I prefer these videos to be sort of an unfiltered look back into the past and I feel that any logos would distract from that.
If I had to guess, I think The White Shadow was probably getting a trial run on Nick at Nite. It apparently did regularly air for a time on TV Land. This could be a false memory, but I also vaguely recall it airing on FX.
I too watched Nick at Night every night during the same range of years, so I definitely love this volume!

3:39 - Was this panel inspired by the frickin’ Batmobile? I imagine there’s an ejector seat and jet engine button somewhere…
This. This is a good one! Thanks for all your crazy effort to put these out for us!!
I thought the sega channel open was a modern ad. That would be a great idea!

my wife told me she had SEGA channel for a good month or so... sounded like a really cool service I never got to experience it myself!
And now Nick at Nite shows what was new when i was a kid. Full circle.
I miss the 90’s
Nick at Nite really had some funny, clever commercials.
I forgot how prevalent water filter commercials were back then.

Breath Savers...Sure you're wildly unqualified, but you have fresh breath, so you get the job!
All you needed to get your foot in the door back then was to breathe on someone important!

Dang, Randy didn’t have to go THAT hard with his Folgers song
This SEGA Channel commercial would suit today. It's incredible how SEGA has always been ahead of its time.

Where I lived and still do to this day (Lima, OH), we actually didn't get TV Land until 1999.

But how does one be able to play a Sega game? I can't shake my head at how.....American cable mystery....lols

@@80sCommercialVault- I never knew there was such a thing as a blank cartridge.
Thanks for the info

I absolutely need to say THANKYOU for not putting a watermark on all your videos like Dave's Archive does, its disgusting

Agreed! Also appreciate that you don't have fancy intros, outros, or breaks unlike Dave. Really gets me into the nostalgia vibe
Lol you know you've made it in TH-cam Land when the trolls say your name.
@@Yo_DynamoJoe trolling was not my intention, just stating a piece of my mind.
7:48 Comcast/Xfinity got it in 1998.

I actually remember the cop with donuts honda commercial. The actress in the motrin ib commercial looks familiar.
1996 the last good year of the 90s before everything went down hill.
