I loved:

Are you afraid of the dark? ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=GL9310TVXY8 ) I used to cover my eyes for the opening credits, because I have a fear of clowns... I'd hear that theme song and hide. lol

THATS what the name of the show was. I was trying to think of it ... day before yesterday... randomly.

Dude, one night about 4am I was trying to kick a few of my friends out of my house so I could go to sleep. We were all lying on the floor talking. Right when they were abut to leave, someone said "Hey, remember 'Today's Special'?".

The didn't leave till 6am.

We got cable a couple of years before I became a teenager so I didn't get to see that much nickelodeon. I guess that I am the nerd in this discussion because I remember the great educational shows from the late 70's/early 80's like Zoom, The Electric Company, Mr. Wizard, 321 Contact, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

There was also the Muppets, Fraggle Rock for the Sesame Street graduates. I almost forgot about Looney Toons too! What ever happened to that show? They ran the show for like (exageration) 3-4 hours every saturday mornings and would have those half-hour episodes of speedy gonzolez. Those were some good times in children's television!

Don't forget about Today's Special.

HOLY SHIT. I remember that show! I went to YouTube and found the opening scene, it was SO WIERD watching it. Wow.

Dude, just turn on "boomerang", your cable company probably carries it. It's a time warner station, an offshoot of cartoon network. It's all the old Hanna-Barbera stuff from the 50's & 60s, looney tunes from the 20's-50's and the Chuck Jones stuff, it's great. They show it all, not just the more "kid friendly" stuff that usually gets shown for Looney tunes.

It's kind of funny when you watch the 30's era bugs bunny stuff with all the celebrity cameos & references, some of which are actually kinda risque, and realize that it was basically the South Park of its day.

Nope, we don't get that channel here.

There was just something missing from Road Runner when they didn't show Wile E hitting the dirt. It is sad they had to remove all that stuff. Wabbit Season, Duck Season...

Honestly, some of the newer shows are quite good. Doug was OK, I liked Dexter's Lab, especially the one where he makes himself old and they call him Grandpa the whole show.
Ren and Stimpy made my eyes bleed. Stupidity and butt humor just don't do it for me.
However, every once in a while, Ed, Edd, and Eddie makes me laugh.

Back in my day, Saturday mornings were the only time most of those shows were on. Having them on 24-7 now is mind boggling.

I was nickhead when i was a kid soo many cartoons and shows I wish i could remember them all but here are the ones I can remember that i loved

Ren & Stimpy
U can't do that on televsion
The Little Prince
The World of David the Knome
Double Dare
Today's Special
...there was one cartoon about some bears that lived in a tree that was very batman-esque, they had a pimped out convertible, they went on missions etc etc. I loved that show. It was like care bears w attitude *not as extreme as the robot chicken care bears, but u get the idea*

Dude I miss the real Nickelodeon...

[scabzzzz]

Todays Special was gay as fuck.

Ren and Stimpy had me down and out for hours when the marathons would come on.
And I always remembered watching people climb the Agro-Crag on Legends of the Hidden Temple thinking... Jeez you guys suck. I always wanted to be on that show so I could dominate.

[Jand3rson]
