Jul 28, 2016 · One of Nickelodeon’s earliest shows (the original being broadcasted in 1986), Double Dare consisted of two teams that competed to win some easy money by competing in trivia questions, and partaking in some messy stunts referred to as ‘physical challenges.’ The main objective of the game was to get as many points as possible.

Nickelodeon’s very first game show, Double Dare was also its longest running, officially entering syndication in 1988 and spurring two spin-offs: Family Double Dare and Double Dare 2000. Long-time comedian warm-up host Marc Summers took on hosting duties and went on to build himself a brand as a Nickelodeon host.
Mike O’Malley (yes, Kurt Hummel’s dad on Glee) made a memorable impression as host. Nickelodeon changed the show to Global GUTS, featuring kids from all over the world, and in 2008, the network attempted to reboot it with a family-focused team version called My Family’s Got GUTS.
Hosted by Melissa van der Schyff, Keep It Spotless saw kid contestants challenged to maneuver through paint-filled obstacle courses without getting any of the paint on their all-white clothing. The contestants were then judged based on how much paint ends up on their clothing.

Airing for three seasons from 2009 to 2011, BrainSurge was a zany game show that tested contestant's memory and problem-solving skills in a series of wild challenges. The contestants competed to solve puzzles, recall details from a story, and memorize grid patterns, with eliminated contestants getting slimed.
Wild & Crazy Kids was a game show that originally aired on Nickelodeon in the early 1990s and featured large teams of kids competing against each other in modified versions of sports or playground games, such as Donkey Basketball, Three-Legged Soccer, and Tug of War.
Originally airing in 1997, Figure It Out uses a familiar game show format in which Nickelodeon celebrities would try to guess the unique talent or ability that kids contestants possessed. The celebrities would ask questions of the kids and attempt to unlock parts of the phrase that describes the kid's ability.

Jacin Ferrell, older brother of Dion of the Extraordinaries team, said in the comments that he has the full episode revealing that his brother lost the obstacle course. Possibly the most notable chunk of the series missing is the second half of the 1987 season of Super Sloppy Double Dare. Only 23 episodes of the allegedly 40 episode run are ...
Kids compete to enter a giant, strobe-lit "video zone." Once they gain entry, they face another challenge set up by a "game wizard," and make you want to be inside a real-life video game.
If you don't think the theme song of this show isn't stored deep in your unconscious, you're lying to yourself. WHAT-WH-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT.
By far THE BEST Nickelodeon game show of all time that you always wanted to be on but couldn't because you either got too old or it was cancelled, whichever came first.
Originally launching in 1979 as a commercial free network, Nickelodeon has created some of the best original programming for kids and adolescents that television has to offer, whether it's cartoons, live action sitcoms, or whacky gameshows. Although the quality of programming has arguably taken a hit in the last couple of years, ...
Rocko’s Modern Life is one of those rare cartoons that, although advertised as such, isn’t really geared towards kids. The show is chock-full of adult humor like double entendres (a restaurant named the ‘Chokey Chicken’) as well as innuendos on social and cultural behavior. The story revolves around an Australian immigrant wallaby, Rocko, and his dimwitted friends which include the insatiable steer Heffer and the neurotic turtle Filburt. Together they get in to crazy situations and relentlessly annoy Rocko’s pigheaded neighbor, Ed Bighead.
Kicking off our list is the show that blended variety, stop motion animation, claymation, and a team of crime fighting action figures who are total idiots. Beginning its run in 1996, KaBlam! was one of the first shows that was featured on SNICK, a two-hour programming block that ran from 8 to 10pm on Saturdays. The variety program featured several shows within a show, and its off-beat brand of humor mixed surprisingly well with its indie animation techniques.
A crazy mishmash of old game show formulas and sliming gags that Nickelodeon was so fond of, Figure It Out was a panel game show with 1992 Olympic champion Summer Sanders as host. The object of the game consisted of four Nickelodeon celebrities attempting to guess a guest child’s special talent or unique skill. A puzzle is displayed in which the celebrities had to solve by asking the child yes or no questions. Once the trait was revealed, the child would demonstrate the ability and discuss it with the panel and host.
Besides having one the best titles of any Nick show, Salute Your Shorts was a thoroughly entertaining ride with some decent performances and smarter writing than you would think. The plot consists of a group of ragtag friends at summer as they get into crazy situations and spend time messing with their clueless camp counselor, Kevin “Ug” Lee. The chemistry between the friends, who had names like Eddie "Donkeylips" Gelfen and Sponge Harris, was a blast to watch as they captured the flag and tried to join the wrestling team.
Capitalizing on the things that go bump in the night, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is about the adventures of three adolescent monsters who attend school that specialize in frightening humans. Each episode is a new “class assignment” that usually involves performing scares to unsuspecting humans on the surface. The dynamic between the three lead monsters is a blast to watch, from Ickis who is a young red jokester that grows in size, to Oblina who is a high society shapeshifter, and Krumm who is a blob of a monster that carries his eyeballs in his hands, and has overwhelming armpit stench.
Being this is a list that can include any Nick show throughout the years, we had to include Hey Dude, which is the network’s second original live action TV show. Originally airing way back in 1989, the program follows Ben Ernst, his son Buddy, and the colorful group of workers on their dude ranch as they run into comical mishaps. Hey Dude blended various television genres together, like comedy, adventure and family, while still being genuinely funny enough to make older viewers laugh along.
Another spinoff of All That, Amanda By nes ‘ flagship sketch show, The Amanda Show, cemented her as a modern-day, kid-friendly Lucille Ball. From her ultra-loud voice to her rubbery facial expressions, Bynes’ talents as a comedic prodigy were on full display, establishing her foundation later as a sitcom and movie star.
Let’s be real: Upon rewatching as an adult, Ren and Stimpy maybe wasn’t quite as kid-friendly as we thought, but a lot of things probably went over our heads. Still, it’s one of the most twisted and hilarious shows, animated or live-action, to hit the small screen. Ren Höek, the possibly-sociopathic, hot-tempered chihuahua, and the chubby, significantly less intelligent cat Stimpy, went on adventures rife with sexual innuendo, occasional violence and often seriously gross and dark humor. If that’s your thing, you loved it. If not? You likely loathed all five years it was on the air.
Literally everyone loves SpongeBob SquarePants. The animated instant classic debuted on May 1, 1999, and has since launched endless memes, two movies, a Broadway musical, comic books and video games, plus an estimated minimum of $13 billion in merchandise sales. Along the way, SpongeBob learned a lot of lessons about hard work, friendship and the importance of tailoring. He also, in June 2020, was revealed to be part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Not bad for a guy who started at the [Bikini] Bottom.
With it’s so-cute-it’s-scary characters, Aaahhh!!! Real Monsters has a few ties to Rugrats: It shares the same creators, Klasky Csupo, and David Eccles, who voices Krumm (the orange monster who carries his own eyeballs in his hands) also voiced the monster under Chuckie Finster’s bed.
A cult classic, The Adventures of Pete & Pete follows the lives of two brothers, both named Pete Wrigley. “Big Pete” serves as the voice of reason, while “Little Pete” is often irrational and rebellious. Their friends’ and enemies’ lives are equally colorful and featured stars like Adam West as Principal Ken Schwinger, Michelle Trachtenberg as Nona F. Mecklenberg, Steve Buscemi as guidance counselor Phil Hickle and punk icon Iggy Pop as James “Pop” Mecklenberg. Aside from its regular stars, it also had a ton of guest stars who either already were or who went on to become mega-famous, including Janeane Garofalo, Selma Blair, J.K. Simmons, Debbie Harry, Alicia Keys, Bebe Neuwirth, Chris Elliott, LL Cool J and Larisa Oleynik (who’d go on to star in her own Nickelodeon series, The Secret World of Alex Mack ).

The classic sketch show You Can’t Do That on Television got its start in Canada in 1979 before premiering for American audiences in 1981. It began airing on Nickelodeon in 1982.

15 Facts About Nickelodeon That Hit Right In The Childhood. Nickelodeon brings up memories of slippery obstacle courses and funny cartoons, but what about the skeletons in their closet... Anyone who was born in the last four decades can consider themselves among one of the generations that grew up watching Nickelodeon.
The fact that it took awhile before people of color started showing up in Nickelodeon shows isn't something to hold against the network too harshly, as it was a fairly common practice in those days-- it's not especially rare today either, unfortunately.
via Yahoo Movies UK. The Power Rangers franchise changed ownership a few times in its early years, but since 2011 and beginning with Power Rangers Samurai, it has called Nickelodeon home. It's obviously a great fit for the network, as Nick has extended its deal to air the show until 2021.
One of the revelations made in the book is that a lot of the people working behind the scenes in the beginning liked to partake in illegal substances- - maybe not such a major revelation given that the Nickelodeon first launched in the 80s.
Double Dare host Marc Summers has said that he has never in his life heard as much swearing as he would hear coming from the mouths of the kids who went through the show's obstacle course.
Although Viacom eventually won the landmark lawsuit, it still didn't change the fact that the company was indeed using cookies to track young players and then giving them targeted advertising based on their web histories, something they always said they wouldn't do. While cookies and targeted ads are a common thing in the internet age, to specifically do it in kid-focused apps just feels that much shadier.
Before his first writing gig at Nick, Butler wrote and directed the 2009 film The Cuckold, described by IMDB as "a dramatic feature that explores the consequences and risks in looking beyond the skin in search of love." If that sounds like a lot of fancy words to describe what is basically a movie about people getting in on, that's because it is. Experience is experience, but it's hard to imagine a Nick executive seeing that on someone's resumé and proclaiming, "Hire this man, stat!"
Zoey 101 (2005-2008) Before setting our eyes on our first-choice university, we were dreaming of attending Pacific Coast Academy (PCA)! This fictional campus in Malibu was the setting of Zoey 101. Though, it wasn’t your run-of-the-mill boarding school with uptight headmasters and centuries-old buildings.
The Amanda Show (1999-2002) The Amanda Show is dubbed by many ‘90s kids as the best among all Nickelodeon shows during its time. Never mind that it ran for only three seasons; the comedy sketches truly left a lasting mark.
“Move it, football head!” is just one of the many memorable things from Hey Arnold! It features some of the most three-dimensional characters on animated TV. Seriously, how many teenage cartoon characters can you think of who are that interesting — without the advantage of being superhumans, half-magical beings, or even secret spies?
And then there’s Drake’s younger sister, Megan — a tech genius with an endless supply of schemes and pranks.
In fact, it’s so iconic that a number of then-pre-teen boys seemed to have taken it too seriously and carried it over to adulthood. (Just kidding! Also, there are actually memes on this, if you don’t believe us.) But yeah, turning into a half-ghost is apparently what happens when you accidentally mess with your ghost-hunting parents’ lab. Whoops!
Imagine having parents who film wildlife documentaries, and naturally, getting to travel around all sorts of places! Pretty much an ordinary day in the life of 11-year-old Eliza Thornberry.
