Nick’s cartoon variety show, KaBlam!, featured a number of infamous sketches, including Action League Now, Prometheus and Bob, and my favorite, Sniz & Fondue, seen above. It was pretty cool how KaBlam! showcased different animation styles. And I’ve always adored Henry and June.

Nickelodeon magazine was the best thing ever! I used to read it in the library during lunch, and secretly steal the free prizes.

NICKELODEON MAGAZINE PLEASE! NICKELODEON MAGAZINE PLEASE! NICKELODEON MAGAZINE PLEASE!

Alex Mack was a cross between Clarissa Explains It All and the T1000 from Terminator 2. It was featured on Nickelodeon’s SNiCK lineup, among the ranks of All That, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

There once was a time when “Nick” meant something. During that time, an orange tape meant pure happiness.

WerewolfCyote gets it. The orange tapes weren’t significant for their color, but for what they stood for. The Nickelodeon glory days ended a long time ago. If you look closely at the photo, there are some pretty win choices there too: Harriet the Spy, Ren and Stimpy, and Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

Since it’s Friday, I thought we could reminisce about Nick together. More videos after the jump.

I love that he grabs a Sega Genesis in the video. That kid is an epic win too.

For your nostalgic pleasure, may I remind everyone of the Nickelodeon Super Toy Run. Nickelodeon held this contest throughout the 1990’s in conjunction with Toys ‘R Us. The winner of the contest was selected via postcard entry and would be awarded a 5 minute shopping spree in Toys ‘R Us. Every child who ever saw that commercial would spend countless hours daydreaming of not only what they would grab in that store, but actually strategize the store layout in order to maximize the amount of shopping cart stuffage. Mind you, this was before the days of the internet so the only way to enter was to quickly scribble down the mail-in address at the end of the commercial, then beg your parents to mail off as many 3×5 cards as possible with your name & info on it. Winning the lottery, the McDonald’s Monopoly game, inheritance from your grandparents… all paled in comparison with the possibility of winning the Super Toy Run at Toys ‘R Us.
