hmm... wonder what they are working on, people are theorizing it's a new network.

I've been waiting for YTV to make a YTV Retro or something focusing on all the programming they used to run in the 80s and 90s, but I guess this would be welcome too. After all, there are no retro channels that focus on anything later than the 70s and even when they do it's always stuff that airs on like every channel.

The word is that this is just going to be a rebranding of the 90's Are All That block to allow for 00's shows to be added in.

So... okay?

Sir, do you have any Warrants?

Well, it is Nickelodeon after all.

Or maybe we are getting a channel after all...

If this is really only just for the cartoons, it basically sounds like Nicktoons Network 2.0. Which actually kind of sounds like a waste, IMO. If you were to take Nickelodeon shows from the 80's to early 2000's, I think you could make a consistent channel out of it, though. Or perhaps a solid streaming service.

Sort of like Toon Disney, you would be able to make a good programming schedule just out of Nick's back catalog. Whether they'd ever do it is a whole other story. They've taken how many years to put their shows out on DVD? Not to mention they've gone out of there way to say they don't want anyone over 16 as a customer and don't really care who buys their products.

I would rather it be a full on Nick Rewind type channel, showing everything from old Nicktoons to the old sitcoms to the old game shows.  There's no reason not to show all of these, having just a channel of Nicktoons reruns, especially if they have a cutoff of the early 2000s or so, is going to grow stale really fast.

Also not really wild about the channel being called "The Splat".  What's wrong with NickRewind?

That was really fun.

And finally we get more Splat news. This is going to be an extended reboot of 90's Are All That, running all night, and live-action shows will be involved at some point. Sounds cool. I might have to hook up my TV to the living room for some nights, depending on the lineup.

Sounds good, but hopefully them expanding it to eight hours means we will see more variety.  The 90's Are All That block was a good idea, but it stalled because they stopped caring about it and reran most of the same shows in perpetuity(this whole year has mostly been just Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Catdog, and Rocket Power).  Nick has a pretty good size library of former shows that they could rerun, there's no reason not to.

Hope they run more game shows, been watching that Nick Reboot stream and they play a lot of the old game shows.  Some of them are eh, but some of them are still so much fun.

Rerunning the game shows would be nice. Nick really was good at game shows back in the day.

Another video showing more shows they intend to air, which seems to be much of their 90's live action output.  There's a few clips from Pete and Pete in there, hopefully that means they'll air it.

Weinerville has aired at least one time on The 90s Are All That.
