We've finally reached the 1990s! Well, 1990, a slow warmup to the so-called Nickelodeon's golden age. We look at Outta Here, the first show produced exclusively at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios, Florida. And that's probably the most noteworthy thing about it.
We take a look at the very first television show about skateboarding, the history of the sport, the career of Matthew Lillard, and bask in some irreverent air-catching vibes.

In 1989, Cable in the Classroom was formed as a way to take on the gross commercialism of Channel One News. Nickelodeon wanted in on the new education initiative, but didn't have their own children's news show to contribute. Well, why make one when you can get the syndication rights to one! This is the story of Kidsworld, a thrifty children's news show from the mid-70s that basically made itself!

In the summer of 1990, the first cable network for kids brought back Camp Nickelodeon, and with it another retro baby boomer-era sitcom, Camp Runamuck, a forgotten show made from grown-ups, sold to kids. But it turns out this brief six-week run of the show was a small part of a larger plot, one battlefield in the war between Viacom and HBO. We're going down a rabbit hole in this one, folks.
This is the story of Flipper, a Lassie ripoff created by the actual Creature from the Black Lagoon! We take a look at the show's gorgeous setting, its wholesome charm, and it's unfortunate place in the history of marine mammal abuse.

This is the story of two animation companies, and the one obscure Nickelodeon show that brought them together. UPA, a new home of artistic expression. Paramount Cartoon Studios, a corporate takeover trying to squeeze out every dollar it could. Let us compare and contrast, and ruminate as to what Nick's relationship to these cartoons were.
We take a look at the one and only time Hanna-Barbera touched down on Nickelodeon. This is the story of Yogi Bear, the men who created him, and the cartoon network that bought him.

Nick Jr continues it's trend as the number one spot for anime somehow with Maya the Bee, a cute little cartoon about a cute little bee girl based on a book written by a big time Nazi supporter. Uh-oh.

It's Wild & Crazy Kids, Nickelodeon's sorta-game show going out to the park and making a mess! We take a look at the show, its creator, its 2002 reboot, and ponder why we haven't seen any more of this franchise in the last twenty years.

We take a look at another outdoorsy show from 1990 (technically, I know most think of it as a 1991 show), a year full of outdoorsy shows. We look at how it pushed boundaries, where it probably shouldn't have, and its unfair ending.

We kick of 1991, the biggest year in Nickelodeon's long history, with a look at their newest Cable in the Classroom offering, Launch Box. Kids love learning about space and astronauts and NASA and stuff!

Everybody knows Superman, so when Nickelodeon got the opportunity to air some Superman, they took it, even if it was a forty-year old television show with a tragic story attached to its main star. We take a look Adventures of Superman, starring George Reeves! Where does it fit into Superman's legacy? Does it still hold up? Let's find out.
I'm not gonna lie to you, I have no idea why Nickelodeon aired this. It's F Troop! The 60s sitcom about a Union army fort on the edge of the frontier, with a lot of dated jokes and a LOT of white actors in redface. So much redface, you guys.

Nick Knacks returns with a detailed look at The Adventures of Pete & Pete, from its humble interstitial origins to its punk rock production to its corporate remake in Snow Day. The best show that Nickelodeon didn't want to make.

Despite the success of Double Dare, Nickelodeon seemed to struggle to make game shows for kids part of their brand, their other efforts through the 1980s coming up short. In 1991, with a brand new studio to fill, the channel gave it another shot and produced Get the Picture, the picture guessing game hosted by newcomer Mike O'Malley. While perhaps not one of the channel's all-timers, Get the Picture would set the course of Nickelodeon game shows for the next decade.

While their previous effort, Outta Here, wasn't a huge success, Nickelodeon still wanted a wild audience participation game show that promoted Nickelodeon Studios and served as a theme park attraction. So, with Marc Summers as host and the producer of Wild & Crazy Kids, we got What Would You Do? A show all about pies, hidden cameras, and tourists being put in danger.
