Nick Knacks has finished the first decade of Nickelodeon's existence. But before we get into the 1990s, let's take a moment to reflect, cover a few minor topics we skipped over, and daydream about winning the Super Toy Run.

Even knowing how much there was going to be in the pre-Nicktoons era of Nick, it's amazing just *how much* history there really is. This series has been one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched, and I often go back to rewatch because it just hits that sweet nostalgia spot.
Mathew 19:12
🏳️🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender.
🏳️🌈 Eunuchs made that way by others were abused in some way and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused.
🏳️🌈 Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender.
Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships.
Jesus, David, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus is returning as a woman.
God created them male and female, determined by gender, located in the brain.
I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. In Deuteronomy, it states nobody was castrated back then. But, that is what God wanted people to think so they wouldnt take it out of the Bible. As Elijah, any discrepancies in the Bible are ultimately decided by me. I can't prove I am Elijah, but people keep telling me I'm about to be announced to the world. My destiny is to usher in the Messiah!
Anyone that teaches same-sex marriage is a sin will die with the wicked by their own choice. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing will also die with the wicked.
Sodom and Gem. was about rape and greed, nothing to do with marriage of any kind.
Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender.
Lev., Corinthians, and Timothy are referring to pedophilia. Billy Graham the wolf translated the Bible wrong....

I definitely appreciate 80s Nick far more after the first "season" of this series. It's fascinating seeing the pieces come together that turned Nick from a TV channel to a full-on tastemaker for kids.
Poooooooooooooooooooo

Kind of bittersweet, leaving the 80's (and 1979), behind. Spent a lot of time, seeing the channel grow from a loss leader to the highest rated cable channel. I agree with you, I think nick knacks has expanded the discourse on 80's nicklelodeon. Thank you so much for this series. I love it. Looking foward to the 90's.

"Yes you, Kevin"
I hope all the viewers name Kevin got a jump scare there lol.
I'm one of the people who hardly knew anything about 80's Nick and now I have a newfound appreciation of it. It may not be full of classics all the time but it was important so it's fun to look back how they started.
No jump scare - I know Nickelodeon always loved me.
Congratulations for making it through 80's Nick, Greg. As someone not much older than Nickelodeon, I feel you did justice to the Silver Ball and early Orange Splat-eras, especially given how hard some of that material was to find. I definitely had warm fuzzy nostalgia watching many of these episodes, and I appreciate the work you put into them. Even during this episode, I found myself grinning ear to ear during most of the shorts and the contests. May the 90's Nick-era be just as good, if not better!
So thankful for this episode. We got cable in 1986 so Nickelodeon was half my early childhood. I definitely remember 80s Nick fondly, and I really appreciated this series covering material before my time. 90s Nick is a very special part of my teenage years, but there was nothing and never will be anything like 80s Nick, and I’m thankful for being a part of it and for you letting me remember it.

I definitely did not get how effing weird Pete and Pete was at the time - can’t wait until we get there for the full show!
Yeah the surrealism flew so far over my head as a kid
@@Karmy.I think it worked for me, because childhood is such a surreal experience to begin with. Or because I watched Kids in the Hall!
Imagine in ten years when pop arena completes his series and makes a 45 hour long play of all videos edited together and i watch it one go
Being older than you (and essentially a cable kid - we got it in 1982 and when my parents saw the channel, I got to watch it whenever) I really appreciated the early to mid 80s Nick focus...it sounds like hyperbole to say but if you were a kid at that time, just having something like Nickelodeon was night and day. When you only had Saturday morning (and the occasional weekday afternoon) shows, it was totally awesome. Even the shows that weren't that great...we didn't care much because it was "for us." Thanks again for the multiple trips down memory lane!
Highly looking forward to 90s Nick Knacks, but i am so happy for what you’ve taught me about 80s Nickelodeon, as well as late 70s. This side of history is important too. Hope you have fun as the decades go on
Wasn’t expecting an extra video for odds and ends from the 80s, this was a nice wrap-up!
Like you, I also was a 90s kid but I also was interested in the 80s era of Nickelodeon, just from my vague memories of the various game shows and other programming and back in the day the only place for that was the ‘Nick Nostalgia Site’ which is where I found out about the Sy Schneider era and it just felt like a part of the network I knew nothing about.
These videos have been a great deep dive into shows I mostly never watched or ever had a chance to see and some that I never knew Nick even aired! With that, I really appreciate the time and work you’ve put into this so far. Looking forward to the 90s videos!
Alright we're a decade in, so I feel like it's a good time to say, I joined your patreaon when this series started because I didn't want it to die. When I had to cut back on all of my pledges this is the only one that stayed. I love this series and I appreciate that you are willing to make it for the internet at large. Keep up the great work.
I really have to applaud you for all the work you've put into Nick Knacks. The first ten years of Nickelodeon was a period of the channel that was in dire need of being preserved from a historical perspective. There's so much more to Nickelodeon than airing countless episodes of SpongeBob that deserves to be remembered. This has been a absolute treasure trove of nostalgia.

As someone born in 1981 I feel like I straddle the line between '80s and '90s Nickelodeon. Love these videos and the information and commentary. So many memories started to come back as you neared the end of the 1980s. I have many fond memories of You Can't Do That on Television, Danger Mouse, Duckula, Double Dare, Hey Dude and several others.
My main years of Nickelodeon were probably 1987 - 1995 though in the early '90s I spent a lot of time with USA, TNT, and TBS.
Thanks so much for these ten years and I look forward to more!
I would be very interested to see any number of episodes about the various contests featured here. Like just how did "Nick Invades Your School" play out for students of that school? Was it a lame assembly and other parts being filmed but not participated in by most of the student body, how many personalities actually came, were there permission slips, etc.? Also, all this time I've misremembered the Super Toy Run as being the final stage of a game show, but I do recall thinking the obvious choice was to get to the videogame section and pile in as many as possible. The cost per volume ratio is unmatched for the 90s, so I've wondered if there was something those in charge did to make it untenable, or did they just trust kids to be overstimulated and not think straight?
Finally, I recall really enjoying Picture Pages (whether on Captain Kangaroo, Pinwheel or in Nick commercials, who can say), but looking back it was for the proto-ASMR experience similar to Bob Ross' Joy of Painting or Mark Kistler's Secret City of following the marker with its beep-beep-boop-beep-beep-beep-boop as opposed to any educational lessons.
If it helps, there's a podcast called Splat Attack that's all about classic Nickelodeon, and there's an episode where they talk to a woman who won Nick Takes Over Your School as a kid; she tells them everything about how it went down. She met celebrities, she participated in skits, she got slimed, the whole deal. Fascinating stuff 👍

I might’ve said this before on this channel, but I remember vividly as a child Nickelodeon spent an entire day before the year 2000 reflecting on the future and what the new millennium would look like. It was all special programming and stuff that would never air again, someone has to have that footage somewhere
David Lynch's hair style hasn't changed in over forty years and I love it.
Well, he knows style!
Yo you forgot to mention that there was a robot chicken sketch on inside out boy
I didn’t have the Picture Pages workbooks, but I did have a Mortimer Ichabod pen! You could put a crayon or pencil in it and it made noises when you wrote. Dang, I wish I still had it, but I think it broke.
Nice it did that.
I have been loving your Nick Knacks videos especially as someone that never grew up with the 80's era of Nick, it's really interesting to see the channel where the Nick Toons weren't established, it had some highs and lows, and shows you wouldn't think would be on Nick but it was their goals at that time.
So it appears I'm am about 8 years older than you, which is why I do appreciate you delving into this first era of Nick's history. These were my shows. I remember watching Today's Special, Mr Wizard, and You Can't Do that on Television, and ALL the children's gameshows as a very young lad.
I'm excited to catch all the 90's history now. As a large part of that was out of my wheelhouse because I was moving on to stuff like Batman TAS, The HBO spawn series, and other teenage focused TV.
Keep up the excellent work. 👏
This has been my experience too. Was nice seeing all those 80’s shows getting a much deserved Spotlight. Especially since a good portion of people seem to think Nickelodeon didn’t really start until “ The Nicktoons Era” came into existence.
@@EvaFull Interestingly, the Nicktoons era, was the last real "hoorah" with Nick for me. The first slew of shows, I watched and REALLY enjoyed. I kind of became a fan of all things animated, and I kept my eye on a few LATER original nick animations shows, but I broadened my horizons with animation, and grew into that.
@@JerryD9000 Same
SNICK was the last hurrah for me. I was into the first few seasons of All That, and that was about the end of Nickelodeon for me.
@@pronkb000 nice. I do remember liking Are You Afraid of the Dark a lot, the Zeebo episode in particular. Guess I did slowly check out of Nickelodeon. It was a privilege to have always had it around though. I had 2 younger siblings, so it may have lost my interest as I grew up, but it was always around. The 90's series should be good.
I remember Inside-Out Boy! I liked those shorts! And I keep on forgetting that the Pete and Pete shorts started in the 80's. That just shows how timeless the show is.
I do actually hope you keep the addendum it's wonderful to see and experience the Vic's Vacant Lot is a prime example.
As a child of the 80’s, those top of the hour bumpers hold a special nostalgia place (the roller coaster more than the disco dog from the later 80’s).
I think part of the thing to remember about the early years of Nickelodeon is just how much smaller the market for cable television was just in general. The viewing numbers from 1980-83 are going to be astronomically smaller than 87-89 but that’s because so few had cable television at this point. It probably would not have continued as originally structured without another You can’t do that on television sized hit, but the market was a few 10’s of thousands vs. the millions by 1990.
HOLY CRAP BABY DAVID LYNCH
I may be a 90s baby, but I have something of a curiosity and fondness of 80s Nick. They had everything for kids. Some are fun, some are weird, some are wholesome, some need to be remembered more, and some are left best forgotten. That was 80s Nick. Variety. Now the 90s had that as well, but with a pinch of iconography, and baked in the kitchen of the Nick Studio.
You're spot-on about "Picture Pages." I can remember watching, even as a very small child, and being bewildered that they never told me WHERE to get a Picture Pages book.
I think you could send away for them (along with a MI marker). I definitely had one booklet, and I don't think they were sold in stores where I lived.

"Hey you. Yes you, Kevin!"
Kevin Feige and Kevin Smith: Did someone mention my name?
I really appreciate your approach of shying away from creating an oversimplified narrative for the channel. Your granular research heavy approach unearthed some truly interesting chunks of history that I otherwise would have never sought out myself; The history of Canadian public broadcasting, the difficult but intensely interesting life of Patty Duke, everything involving Qube, T̴̘̿h̶̩͎͂e̸̲̊̿ ̵̲̘͛͆Ĉ̷̙ḻ̸̨̉́ö̶͔͎́̑c̴̘̲̓̈k̷̲̑ ̶̯̍M̶̪̈͌ä̵͙̲́̈́n̶̙̭̏ ̵̗͝
While I am excited to see you get to more shows I know of -- I agree with you in how satisfying it has been to see all of the facets of an era I had little knowledge of. That being said, your dedication for accuracy over narrative has me excited to see a more nuanced and specific look through of the "Golden Age." With all of the stuff you found in a less documented age for the channel who knows what you will uncover with much more information at your disposal.
Thank you for keeping this series up! I recommend it to everyone who will listen.
Fantastic! I've been glad to be on this historical journey with Nick Knacks. Thank you Greg Stevens!
A little but late, but there was another longtime voiceover announcer for Nickelodeon who goes by the name of Joe Piasek, he was the announcer for Nick Rocks and the voiceover announcer for Nickelodeon's Top of the Hour bumpers, and end credits for various shows from 1984 all the way until 2001.
One thing I would love to have a comprehensive list of is the short one-off films Nick had between shows, especially in its pre-commercial era. Two I remember appearing regularly were Robert Swarthe's Academy Award nominated "Kick Me" and "Sundae In New York", which won the 1983 Academy Award for best short film. These shorts were a little too weird for "Pinwheel" but for us older kids they were fun breaks during "You Can't" and "The Tomorrow People".
Unfortunately I doubt anyone was keeping a list of these shorts at the time, and any record now is on an old Betamax tape in a basement somewhere.
Toy Run sounds like a dream come true for a kid dude
for a while, the Picture Pages activity book pages were being published in the popular Women's magazine Family Circle. I remember this being a thing I would get my mom to tear out the page.
What an incredible achievement and great documenting resource. I've learned so much about television and even a bit about 80s culture in general watching this series and its been a blast. Can't wait till the nicktoons arrive!!
I was there for the change from the mime hands to the silver ball era. I loved YCDTOTV, Third Eye, Lights Camera Action, Mr Wizards World, Tomorrow People, Mysterious Cities of Gold, and I even vaguely remember Powerhouse. Thank you so much for this stuff! Holy trip down memory lane, Batman!
I imagine these corrections and found footage means a lot of rewrites of the Nick Knacks book. How’s the progress on that by the way?
Except for the Devil short (I kind of remember…) I for sure remember the Sports Cartoons, Picture Pages, Inside Out Boy (thank you btw, haven’t thought of him in awhile), and of course Pete & Pete! And yes, all those amazing contests, how badly I wanted to be entered into Super Toy Run & Nick or Treat. I remember getting multiple free gummy bears at McDonald’s by saying “Nick Sent Me” lol.
Very interesting about Australia having a “Nick Takes Over School” show, I’d have watched that! I remember hearing about Hulk Hogan being at one of the takeovers, I’d love to see that and some of the other ones.
Great stuff, on to the 90s!
The most interesting part of this episode was Phil Tonkin. He was a voiceover for the early Nickelodeon promos and also a voiceover for WOR-TV (channel 9) in NYC back in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Another great Nickelodeon video? This dudes streak can’t be stopped! My man!
I'm sure I've mentioned that I have vague memories going as far back as 'silver ball' nick, (was born in 1979) so I've been there since pretty early on! and I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering who was announcing during that mid 80s era I fondly remember, so nice to finally get some closure on that!! sad to hear that he passed a couple years back but damn if wendel craig and his legacy won't be remembered.
also great to see the 'shorts' get some love, I was looking them up after whichever episode they were referenced on as I was working through the backlog, then I came across sports cartoon again! I think my all time favorite was the one where they're playing darts, haha. I do remember picturepages, as well. I think my favorite that didn't come up was DOG BRAIN, reminded me of a dog my mom had up until only about a year or so ago he was such a big dummy, haha.
man, nick or treat and super toy run! yeah catch me in the videogame section, of course. always a good day when a new episode of nick knacks lands in my subscription feed!
I've been steadily bingeing this series and have nearly caught up. As someone who was more of a cartoon network kid growing up and wasn't aware of Nickelodeon's history before the late 80's, I can say I definitely appreciated learning a fuller history of the channel and its programming. I'm sure this yt channel will start to blow up once you finally reach the nick toons, but I'm happy I discovered this channel before that happened. Keep up the great work!
I was born in 1988, and didn't start watching Nickelodeon until maybe 1992, so the first decade of Nickelodeon on Nick Knacks was such an education for me. I was aware of Pinwheel and some of the older shows, and as you progressed through the years more and more names of shows I remembered came back to me (David the Gnome, Adventures of Little Koala, Hey Dude, Eureeka's Castle, Fred Penner's Place, The Elephant Show). I've enjoyed sticking with you through all the shows and all the twists and turns! I've actually started re-watching all the old episodes in preparation for '90s Nick and I can't wait to see what else I'm going to learn!
"We had a real live rock band"
Probably the only time anyone called New Kids On The Block that.
I remember both them & MC Hammer getting animated series.
My goodness... being a kid during 80s and 90s Nick, the second you said there was one more contest every kid wanted to win, my subconscious made me blurt out: "Toys 'r' Us!!!"
Yo, they did a number on us back in the day.
Super Toy Run... the stuff dreams were made of!
I was literally chanting, "TOY RUN! TOY RUN! TOY RUN!" as he lead into the Super Toy Run. I am now in my 40's. I still want a five-minute shopping spree at Toys' R' Us.
Man, I need to catch up on your series. I caught your Nick Knacks series when you were still covering the obscure start of the channel's history in 1979 (to be honest I find the channel's first few years to be more interesting than the overhype nostalgia that is the 90s) and always watched a new video of yours whenever I got notified. Idk why I stopped doing so to be honest, but I would like to see what you made since I did, can't wait to see you covering the 90s as well, wish you luck.
P.S. Speaking personally about myself, I was born in 1999 so I'm more nostalgic towards 2000s nick than 90s nick (and lord knows it will be a few more years til you get to the 2000s). Nevertheless I did see and grew up on some 90s nicktoons, so you can say I have second wave 90s nostalgia for certain shows that aired at that time.

🏳️🌈 Eunuchs made that way by others were abused in some way and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused.
🏳️🌈 Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender.
Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships.
Jesus, David, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus is returning as a woman.
God created them male and female, determined by gender, located in the brain.
I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. In Deuteronomy, it states nobody was castrated back then. But, that is what God wanted people to think so they wouldnt take it out of the Bible. As Elijah, any discrepancies in the Bible are ultimately decided by me. I can't prove I am Elijah, but people keep telling me I'm about to be announced to the world. My destiny is to usher in the Messiah!
Anyone that teaches same-sex marriage is a sin will die with the wicked by their own choice. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing will also die with the wicked.
Sodom and Gem. was about rape and greed, nothing to do with marriage of any kind.
Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender.
Lev., Corinthians, and Timothy are referring to pedophilia. Billy Graham the wolf translated the Bible wrong....
ANYONE TEACHING THE MONETARY TITHING LIE OR COLLECTING MONEY FOR MINISTERING WILL BE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.
Delete my comments and you reject Jesus herself, and you are already aware what that means . . .
Might be off topic but make sure this series is backed up in case anything happens. Like on archive or keep it in a private google drive. I can tell this thing was a shit ton of work and I want it online forever. It’s so cool! :0
Always a good policy!
Glad you added a bit of the "egg" short. That thing has had a spot in my brain for ages now. "' 'ey a-watch it!"
There had to be a rule about the super toy run. I always remembered thinking, why don't the kids go to the video game isle at toys r Us and take all those sheets of paper for the games. I bet you could have cleared 20k dollars by grabbing all the game sheets.
Oh my gosh, that line about "standup comedian, actor, and rapist" without even flinching from the professional tone was HYSTERICAL!
Gen Xer, here. I won second place in one of the smaller contests as a kid - it was the Danger Mouse Lost In Boston contest where the main prize was meeting music group New Edition. Second place was a Danger Mouse t-shirt. You better believe I wore the hell out of that shirt until I quickly outgrew it. 😁😁
Much love to Inside-Out Boy and Sports Cartoon! Great series so far. I will miss the 80s oddness when it swaps out for the frantic 90s but the Nicktoons are inevitable.
Nickelodeon didn’t launch here in the UK until 1993 but Inside-Out Boy did air on our version of the channel as filler programming between shows even in 1996! It’s always nice to see children’s programming from a decade or two ago pop up on a channel now that you wouldn’t expect to be currently rerunning! That same year, 1996, Fox Kids launched over here and their lineup included Transformers Gen 1!
The Toy Run was absolutely the pinnacle. That said, it gives me anxiety to think about even today. 5 minutes is not a long time, and I think I would have a panic attack and in no way maximize my time in the store lol
Great summary of an interesting decade in Nickelodeon's history. You're right that the 80s groundwork makes the 90s era as special as we remember it being.
I remember early 90s morning TV being Dennis, Lassie, David the Gnome, Muppet Babies and Rugrats. Also the inside out boy shorts and the muppet Cocomo music video.
Don’t say “Nick or Treat” to fast 🤣
Even though I was never born in the 80’s or 90’s Stuff like this gives me pump of nostalgia, in the earlier years Nickelodeon really went all out for kids especially for tweens and preteens who actually watch everything that they had to give. I still couldn’t believe that Nick actually took over the school in my of state of NC and I wasn’t even born.
I entered the "Nickelodeon Takes Over Your School" sweepstakes year after year after year.
This is such a cool series, so glad you are making it!
Fantastic work. As someone who was aging out of the Nick demographic around this time, I have to thank you once again for your tireless scholarship. Yes, it’s a nostalgia trip for me. But it’s also helped me better contextualize the experience I had as a kid watching this channel. The 90s episodes won’t mean as much to me personally, but I’m certain you’ll maintain the level of excellence you’ve already applied to my era of Nick. I hope your success explodes with this move to an even more popular era for the channel. I’m gonna keep checking in.
The 80's is still excellent for nickelodeon. 😀👍
Christ, I forgot that _Pete & Pete_ started that early. I can't wait 'til we get to the actual episode on that. You gonna do it for 1991 when the Specials start, or 1993 when the show proper started?
Christ, _Watt the Devil._ I remember almost all of these shorts but I had forgotten the frigging things.
Holy crap, that Picturepages intro took me right back! I hadn't heard it in literal years and I was singing right along.
25:49 The Petes look so young there!
28:09 a baby face Marc Summers
28:40 NKOTB!
31:30 You mean a kid wouldn't want a trip to Arizona?! 😆
You forgot to mention Dale Reeves. He did voiceover for Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite. Reeves also did voiceover for WCBS promos and the underwriting credits for American Masters in 1986.
As we leave 80's Nickelodeon, we look back, one
last time at all the great and the NOT-so-great
moments of when the 1st kids' network gave us
what we wanted! 90's Nickelodeon, here we come!
Oh holy crap! Picture Pages! Haven't seen that in over 40 years! WOW.
40:41 - 40:42 Sheesh, FIRST CLASS? Nick **sometimes** didn't pull any punches in making prizes amazing back then!
Amazing job so far, love this series!
Based on the video, it seems like you implied that Bambi Meets Godzilla aired on Nickelodeon. That true?
“Bambi Meets Godzilla” was included as part of the anthology film “The Fantastic Animation Festival” in 1977.
I remember watching that short from two programs: TV's Censored Foul Up Bleeps and Blonders and rumor has it that it may have also landed on Turkey Television as well.
The opening for PicturePages (which I'd never seen or heard of before) was so cute...THEN I got jump scared. Whyyyy?
Nick Knacks has certainly changed the discourse on Nickelodeon for the better. Fantastic work so far, and I can't wait to see the 90's.
* Toys "R" Us lasted in its original form in the United States from 1948 to 2018. Fairfax Financial purchased Toys "R" Us Canada in a separate deal.
* In 2019, Toys "R" Us was rebooted at the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey and Houston Galleria in Houston, Texas, by TRU Kids Brands, Inc. only to close after a few months due to bad timing with the COVID-19 Pandemic.
* In 2021, with Toys "R" Us on the comeback trail in the United States, TRU Kids Brands, Inc. was acquired by retail firm WHP Global Inc. and they opened a new flagship store at the American Dream Meadowlands Mall (across from Dreamworks Water Park and Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park) in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The opening was successful!
not only are these programs interesting from a Nic historical standpoint, but it's also a great slice of historical programming for television in general. It's great that the footage exists in the first place!
I totally loved saying "Nick or Treat! on Halloween back in my day!
Inside out boy snapped me back. Excited for the 90s when I became conscious!
While there’s still time in the “season,” I’d like to apologize for my little “Megan desvered better” quip in the Make the Grade episode. I didn’t realize the severity of Megan’s unfair loss and wasn’t really thinking about if making a Drake and Josh joke was acceptable. Therefore, I now see how wrong it was for Megan to be ahead of everyone else and lose all because of bread
As an elder millennial/xennial...I have thoroughly enjoyed these videos and I appreciate what you're doing.
In spite of Cosby's crimes, I can still watch Picturepages and the various works he acted in.
Did he call him a rapist? How dare he!
I always wonder what would happen if the school refused.
1979-1984: "Green Vegetable/Pay-PBS/Silver Ball" Era
1984-1991: "Pre-Nicktoons/Early Orange Splat" Era
1991-1999: "Classic Nicktoons/Mid-Orange Splat" Era
1999-2009: "SpongeBob SquarePants/Late Orange Splat" Era
2009-2012: "Post-Orange Splat/Orange Wordmark" Era
2012-present: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Acquisition/Orange Tab" Era
My first nick memories where of count duckula ive been with there ever since. I loved this early era. By the 90s they knew what worked for kids. But most of the 80s was expermenting. They drew on thier own childhood for ideas: exploring the wild, interest in old fairy tale classics, magic tricks. And the bouncing ball logo represnted a pin ball, as no doubt they bumped pin ball machines alot as a kid. But this was all outdated by 80s kids standards. One worked the best and was number 1 because it let kids be kids: You cant do that on television. It was wild and zany and just what they needed. The future shows and crazy bumpers showed this new look.
While we're on the subject of Nick's announcers, here's a few honorable mentions/info you forgot to mention (or you haven't reached their era yet)
First, a note on Phil Tonken; not only was he the first, but as an NYC resident, he'll always be best known as the announcer for WOR-TV 9 (No real reason to mention that, just want to show some love for vintage NYC TV)
30:16 - It took me a second to figure it out, but the VO on the "Nick or Treat" Promo sounds Very Much like longtime NYC Radio/TV Personality Jerry Carroll, who you might know best as the guy who did commercials for "Crazy Eddie" Electronic stores (HIS PRICES ARE INSANE!). If it's Not him it's an incredible simulation.
And finally, I know I've heard his voice (at least) in promos for the Nick Home Video Line and also a few "We'll be right Back" bumpers, but I believe industry vet Bill St. James (as heard in the "Toy run" Promo @ 32:17) was Wendell Craig's backup announcer around the late 80s to mid 90s. Again, I MIGHT have the timeline screwed up, but I know he joined Nick at/around the time he stopped doing VO's for Cinemax around 1989 or so.
Other than that, the ENTIRE Nick Knacks series is Required viewing for TV Fans/historians alike.
to me Phil Tonken sounds like i remember the later 80s announcer sounding.. are we sure he never did anything after the oldest nick era?
@@basehead617 According to this wikipedia entry, He pretty much stuck with (W)WOR-TV until his retirement in the late 80s...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Tonken
In Australia I believe we also had “Nick Takes Over Your Beach” in the mid-late 90s, though I don’t think it was ever a TV show
And I think it involved some Nick branded bus that drove around the country 🤔
The Simpsons should have done a parody of Nick takes over your school. If they did, I am sure the writers would make sure to include the school children humiliating Principal Skinner all the while having Superintendent Chalmers come by (and supposedly not know what is going on) and seeing what is going on, yell:”SKINNNNNNNNER!” Haha
I stopped watching in the early 90s. Around '91-'92 or so. I was around 11 or 12. I moved on to MTV EDIT: and Nick at Nite. The 1980s is the "golden era" of Nickelodeon for me.
It was for me too.
If it makes you feel better, some people will be 44 in 2038
Hey Scott I saw you on The SNL Network
@@victorhiggins9636 Thank you! I did pretty well, didn’t I? It was a really fun time and I’m still waiting for Bobby’s turn, even though Mr Mayor is cancelled now
@@DigiRangerScott yeah you did awesome also love Nick Knacks as a Nickelodeon kid and poor Bobby I thought Mr Mayor was good oh well
Dang. Nice nostalgia bomb with the Super Toy Run which I always wanted to win… albeit with KB Toys not Toys R Us. I had NO idea that giveaway had gone on that long though
If memory serves, because so much of my early Nickelodeon experiences were rare glimpses when visiting my grandparents because we didn't have it yet, the opening you used would sometimes include voiceover of the schedule, kind of like the old days when networks would do voiceover ads for other shows on the channel before telling you what show (or your local news) was up next. This was eventually dropped from the between show segments.
This was a crazy amount fun! Thank you. I entered the super toy run sometime in the 90s. Thinking about it now, I doubt they would have allowed a disabled kid to be pushed by an adult in a shopping cart. But a kid could dream!
To your point about an understanding of the first ten years adding to the story of what follows- after the episodes about Pinwheel and Hocus Focus, I'm way more excited for you to get to Doug than I would have been otherwise. We have to finish the Jim Jenkins trilogy, after all!
It won’t stop at Doug. He also created Allegra’s Window.
@@PinkieLopBun Oh! good to know
Nickelodeon did that ultimate haunted house for 2 years. I was trying to find them but I can't have it luck on youtube.
90s was a great era of a lot of things, sports, music, cartoons, just entertainment as a whole was unreal looking back. We'd have to have a great reset of a nuclear war and rebuild to do that again
The last "First 10 Years" I listened to was Windham Hill.
Golden years was probably 1986-1996.
As an elder millennial, I’m so glad you covered the 80s. Really brought some memories back.
When you get to are you afraid of the dark I clearly remember seeing the pilot air on nickelodeon before the series started I remember nmit being shown as a holloween special but everything online says that was only done in Canada, but I clearly remember seeing tale of the twisted claw long before the series got started and would like to know if this is true.
That might be hard to figure out because TV Guide wasn’t reliable back then. I can recall many times where it would have one show “listed as on at this time”, but when you went to that channel it could be a completely different program or movie instead.
@@EvaFull yeah I know what you mean. It's just I'm sure I saw it before the series started in 92 because I think it aired both holloweens before that as a special.
@@maxdrive007 You could be mixing up your memories to. I have done that with a few movies or shows & then saw a video or read an article that sent me down a research rabbit hole to get the answers.
While the 90’s is where Nickelodeon really came into its own, I have a soft spot for 80’s Nick partly because I was a kid during that time, and enjoyed the foreign programs they used to air. Also, unfortunately you will have to talk about Bill Cosby again, but not for a while.
12:03 "three by four tape" 😂😂😂
I wish I would have known about that Toys R Us sweepstakes as a kid! I sure would have entered
I don't remember what year my city finally picked up Nickelodeon, so this is gonna be a combo of nostalgia & stuff I totally missed out on.
What I'm really curious about it their stuff from the 70s, before I was born, & just how much of their 80s programming was borrowed from Canada.
Toys R Us should re-open and specifically cater to wealthy people who desperately wanted to win the Toy Run sweepstakes as children.
