Nickelodeon's Live Action

Clarissa is pretty good, though.

Eh, whatever.

I still enjoy AYAOTD for what it is. Kids just don't really get to experience shows like that anymore.

Plus, I'm biased by region.

[Avaitor]

Well, this is welcome.

I honestly don't even know why I keep up with the block at all anymore. Interest in childhood favorites and overall boredom, I guess.

But they do seem to have been trying a little lately, but it's always a step or two back. Like this week with the voter choices, with polls that consist almost entirely of shows they've aired frequently. We got Salute Your Shorts and Wild Thornberrys episodes out of that, but for some reason, the Thornberrys episode they aired was a two-parter, which they only aired the first half of. Plus, who the hell cares about The Wild Thornberrys?

And they're changing the lineup around a little this week, too. No Doug or All That, but Rocko and CatDog (it's first time on the block, btw) are added on. I think either Ren & Stimpy or Angry Beavers are too (it's one or the other, and I don't feel like checking), but now it's basically all Nicktoons.

It does seem like the people in charge care about the block, but don't really know what to do with it, and they're losing followers as a response. I'm all tapped out myself.

It's really sad that this block has been around for almost 2 years and they still haven't done anything really substantial with it. The 90's Are All That had potential, but they should just give up at this point, it's lost pretty much any momentum it had.

[Kiddington]

Well, look at it this way; it's either this, or more Degrassi/Everybody Hates Chris reruns in its place.

Even on autopilot, this is still the more creative approach.

[Rynnec]

Eh, true. God knows TN needs a little spice. They should still drop the packaging though, and just air the shows as regular TN programs.

[Dr. Insomniac]

I watched that Zeebo the Clown episode of AYAOTD earlier in the afternoon, and... meh? The most horrifying part of the show was how the main character seemed to have premature baldness despite being barely in his teens.

And guys, we're in the Netflix age. A limp programming block means nothing when you can literally just find the show you want and stream it on the computer whenever.

[Avaitor]

Now this, here, si news to me.

[Kiddington]

Now this, here, si news to me.

$20 says it's just Road Rash with the No-Tell Motel scene reinserted.

...but seriously, how is this even possible? The show's been off the air for, what, 16 years, and not a single mention of an unaired episode until now? Seems rather hard to believe.

[Avaitor]

That's more than I thought- all I was expecting was "Leap Frogs".

And yeah, considering how open Joe Murray is about the show's history, you'd think that if there was a lost episode, we'd know about it. That's what makes this hard to believe.

rwmead just made a good point on Twitter; this is probably an AFD stunt.

I'm ashamed of myself for not picking up on that sooner (though I guess we'll know for sure in a few hours).

[Avaitor]

I'm calling Oppa Rocko Style.
