<p dir="auto">I'm so glad Nickeloden is re-showning all of the classics. Maybe one day they'll have a 24-hour Classic Nick channel devoted compleatly to those days when "Spongebob" wasn't even an idea.</p>

<p dir="auto">That show was called "Today's Special" and I remember it took place in either a mall or store of some kind. The guy was a store mannequin and when they put the magic hat on him he came to life. He turned back into a mannequin every night when they took the hat off again. This was one of those song and dance learning programs popular at the time like "Pinwheel".</p>

<p dir="auto">Definitely a cool idea!  And bring back Don't Just Sit There!, the original Dare, Double Dare, and Family Double Dare; Salute your Shorts, Tomorrow People, Fifteen (yeah, I'm a sucker for teenage mellodrama), Welcome Freshmen, and all of the classics!<br />
Is it just me, or is it funny to have a pop-up Kama Sutra?</p>

I remember that the day's programming ended with Inspector Gadget and Mighty Mouse before heading off into the nocturnal rainbow.<br />
Wasn't it Danger Mouse and NOT mighty mouse??<br />
ANYWAY!!  I have the BEST memories of Pinwheel and YCDTOT, Turkey TV, Danger MouseI can go on and on.<br />
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release these shows on DVD!!<br />
There is a great website that shows<br />
ENTIRE<br />
episodes of YCDTOT!!  Just listening to the opening music gave me chills!!  Most of the Nickelodeon shows now can't even compare to those that we had the pleasure of watching.  All That was cute, mostly because that Amanda girl is pretty funny, but other than that it drives me crazy to watch TV with my young daughter.  (With the exception of Degrassi of course!!)<br />

<p dir="auto">Oh my word.  I didn't think anyone other than me watched Out of this World.  How funny.  I remember alot of the old classic "kids" shows.  Out of this World, My Two Dads, YCDTOT, Mr Wizard, Clarissa Explains it All, are or were some of my favorites.  I wish they would bring them back.  I miss good programming like this on television.  BTW? Are You Afraid of the Dark? rocked but I always thought Monsters, Tales from the Darkside and Friday the 13th the Series were scarier lol.  That is when I could convince Mom to let me stay up and watch them.</p>

Out of This World<br />
.  It was on at 5:00 PM on Channel 11 where I'm from.  I used to watch it religiously in the mid-90s until it disappeared.</p>

<p dir="auto">Oh, the memories! I fondly remember coming home after school, eating a bowl of cereal, and watching Nickelodeon.<br />
Does anyone else remember The Adventures of Black Beauty? I haven't seen that show mentioned on this thread. I have ridden horses since I was little, so I LOVED that show. I watched them over and over again and pretty much had all the lines memorized. The show was filmed in such beautiful areas of England.<br />
I also loved You Can't Do That On Television, Mr. Wizard, Pinwheel, Out of Control, and Today's Special. There was a cool show called Livewire that was aimed more towards teenagers. I vaguely remember The Third Eye, Double Dare, Belle and Sebastian, and Special Delivery.<br />
What about the stuff they showed to fill up time before the next show started? I remember one segment about following a treasure map on an island and another one about the moons around a planet.</p>

<p dir="auto">How about (dating myself here) The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, Spartacus and The Sun Beneath the Sea, or <em>gasp!</em> Banannaman! Adventures of the little koala, the Little Prince, or even Belle and Sebastian! I really hope someone from Nick reads these things and SERIOUSLY considers a classic nick channel. Lineups can be chosen online by fans or something.</p>

<p dir="auto">oh my god.  i completely forgot about the "sports cartoon".  I remember most of the shows you mentioned, but only after reading some of them on your list.  My memory has completely come back on a lot of this stuff i thought i had forgotten.  that cartoon you mentioned about the hippo and the cat; that was such a strange and pointless cartoon but they aired it a whole lot.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane.  I am reading about a classic nick channel on these boards.  Is this really in the works or already airing?  How can i subscribe to it?</p>

I vaguely remember Out of Control; I've been trying to remember the name and premise of that show for years but all my mind could come up with was Wild and Crazy Kids and I always KNEW that wasn't the show I was trying to think of. Thank you for that.<br />
Pinwheel and Today's Special were the best children's shows of all time.</p>
