I got in a conversation last night about 90s SNICK/general Nickelodeon TV shows, as people are prone to do because those shows were awesome.We tried to come up with as many of those shows as we could off the top of our head, and I think we did surprisingly well, considering most of these shows were only on a few seasons and haven't been on TV since before I knew what bioterrorism or Google meant.
SNICK (The Saturday night Nickelodeon line-up)
* Roundhouse ... A secret gem of the early SNICK line-up
* Are You Afraid of the Dark? ... Much scarier than any crap they put out today. That show gave kids nightmares. All the time. Like, say, yesterday. Shut up, it wasn't my fault.
* Pete & Pete ... Whatever happened to those kids?
* Clarissa Explains It All ... Did you see Melissa Joan Hart has a new TV show with Joey from "Blossom"?!
* Secret World of Alex Mack ... Larisa Oleynik was a fine looking woman. Even better in "10 Things I Hate About You." Then she, like so many others, disappeared.
* All That ... Back when Amanda Bynes and Keenan Thompson were wee pups.
* Keenan and Kel ... We actually tried to figure out what happened to Kel. One guy said he thinks Keenan ate him.
Nickelodeon
* Rugrats ... What a weird show, when you think about it.
* Doug...Patty Mayonnaise: Bringing the sexy back to condiments.
* Salute Your Shorts... sing it right, Budnick, or pay the price
* GUTS ... Fun fact: Mike O'Malley, who hosted that show, is now on a certain Fox musical show that everyone but me loves)
* Hey Dude ...Fun fact 2: Christine Taylor from that show is now married to Ben Stiller, or as I used to call him, "Melody from Hey Dude's husband"
* You Can't Do That On Television... back when you could slime a kid and not get charged with a statutory offense.
* Double Freaking Dare ... Not the official title but it should have been
* Legends of the Hidden Temple ... Let's not even talk about kids sucking at putting together the monkey in the temple at the end of the show. IT'S NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE!

I'm sure we missed a few, but I figured why not bring back a little nostalgia today. Plus, I rarely get to make a quality Salute Your Shorts reference. Please feel free to share your 90s Nickelodeon memories...
