I think Belle and Sebastion and The Little Prince were on the daytime Nick line-up, later named Nick Jr.
What was that one Count Duckcula episode in which he takes the castle to a super cute planet? All I remember is a line something like… darn. I’m blanking on it, but my brother and I used to crack each other up with it. It was a super cute description of something super cute by the super cute guide to the planet.
Count Duckcula= best closing theme ever.
Nick Jr.! Great stuff! What about that Grimm Fairy Tale show and David the Gnome. I wanted to be David. He had the best adventures.
I was a Christine/Lisa kinda guy around the age 12-14. I thought Lisa was the sweetest, prettiest “big” girl I’d ever seen, and Christine’s freckled Black Irish looks were exotic as all-get-out.

You do know, don’t you, that adorable young Alanis Morissette supposedly was in a relationship – yes, that kind of relationship – with a guy in his 20s when only 14?
Catdog
You very well may be right. I was about three when I watched the show, so it’s fair that my memory might not be all that sharp 
.
I also used to like Eureka’s Castle-- Batty was the coolest. Oh and the brother and sister monster (?) that lived in the pipes? I used to have the worst nightmares about them.
Wasn’t it Dave Coulier from Out of Control?
Well, you oughta know.
(Yes, I know that’s just an urban legend)
Og forbid. That guy was a megatwit. Plus, I always thought he acted kinda gay (NTTAWWT!)
One more vote for The Adventures of Pete and Pete. That show was brilliant. Capable of being appreciated by an adult (such as I) or by my then-target-age niece and nephews. Loved the alternative rockers in cameo roles.
I’m 29 and feel much the same way, and I saw a good bit of the 90s stuff because my brother is eight years younger than I am. He was a huge fan of Pete and Pete.
I still want to get on Double Dare. It’d be so much fun!
Fairy Tale Theatre–mostly Anime versions of classic fairy tales.
Hey–back in the 80’s, we otaku had to take what anime we could find. 
Catdog is still on. Late Afternoon, weekends.
I would kill for the Cat Came Back shorts on CD or DVD or anything. I remember they ran when there were a couple minutes to kill in between programs.
The cat came back
the very next day.
The cat came back.
They thought he was a goner
but the cat came back
the very next day.
He just couldn’t stay away.
Ive all but confirmed that all of THOSE cartoons on Nick were canadian. Canada Animation… is… uh… lol.
Her song “Hands Clean” seems to hint that whoever it was helped kick off her career in the record industry. I wouldn’t think that Dave Coulier would have that kind of clout. My money is on somebody who has production or executive credit on “Jagged Little Pill,” an album that came out of nowhere and was massively huge for one year in the early 90s. It was a great damn album, but lucky breaks don’t grow on trees.
There was only one short, entitled (not suprisingly) The Cat Came Back. Produced by Cordell Barker for the National Film Board of Canada ©1988. Appears to be available on various animation compilation DVDs. National Film Board website
grins The monsters were named Quagmire and Bog, and were known for their love of peanut butter sandwiches.
I have way too much knowledge still about all the shows mentioned, at least the ones I grew up on. I can still sing all of the theme song to Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts.
And did anyone else long to be on Legends of the Hidden temple? I know I did; I wanted to be a Blue Barracuda. But never wanted to be on What Would You Do? or any of the other “messy” game shows. Not my style.
I don’t think it got progressively worse until our current cast. I think the show actually ended after several seasons, and then came back with a completely new cast as “The New All That.” I could be mistaken, but I think that’s how it is.
I don’t remember most of the stuff that’s been mentioned, probably because I just never really watched them. The exceptions being Rocko’s Modern Life, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Clarissa Explains it All, All That, and a few others.
Every once in a while, I bring up Space Cases in conversation, only to find that I’m apparently the only kid who ever watched it. Anyone remember it?
Also, “Ahhh!! Real Monsters” and the short little between-show thing, “The Offbeats” which I remember vaguely but fondly. Oh! And “Mr. Frear’s Ears” which was kind of like a mini-STOMP that also fit snugly in the 5-minute breaks between shows.
You know how we basically get the same feed as the east coast, but delayed 3 hours? I would love if they would broadcast a Nickelodeon that was delayed maybe 10 or 15 years.
Goes over to amazon.com to check for DVDs of Rocko and All That
Yeah, I watched it. Remember the girl from Saturn’s moon? Catalina, with the rainbow hair and sonic scream? She’s Jewel Staite, aka Kaylee from Firefly. Was nice to know that I’ve been crushing on her since I was nine.
I’m in my mid 30’s, so to me it’s not really old school Nickelodeon unless it’s from the silver ball logo era, and before Nick at Nite (or did that start the same as the orange logo?). That being said, Dangermouse needs to come back. I’m so tempted to get the DVDs.
Calliope was on the USA Network along with the Cartoon Express.
Old school Nick to me is Plus and Minus playing “Gotcha Last” and Jake with his sound boxes on Pinwheel. (I’m 27.)
