All the kids of the 90's know and loved all the old Nickelodeon shows: Rocko's Modern Life, The Angry Beavers, Are you afraid of the dark?, AHH! Real Monsters, Clarissa explains it all, Pete & Pete and the list goes on...

My question is.. Why aren't these shows on DVD, as a rememberance of the old Nickelodeon??! Why are they always spewing out all the new, and all alike, I might add, shows on DVD now, even though they still play them 12 hours a day already???!

Nick never plays these old, unqiue, well-written, funny, ORIGINAL shows on regular day-time runs, except maybe 1 hour on Sunday, from what I saw.

I know many kids, and adults today would enjoy and would buy, these old shows/cartoons on DVD today. I sure the heck would!
I loved all the old shows, they were never boring. Always original with creative, witty humor woven in the 15 to 30 mintues of your life that you could just watch and laugh or just enjoy.

Yes, Nick has been putting out 1 or 2 DVDs recently like the 1st seasons of Clarissa explains it all and Pete & Pete, but I truly miss all the cartoons Nick had, so why don't they put those on DVD.. I really hope they do... SOON!

I truly miss all the old nick shows, they made nick original, clever and great, I don't see that anymore on Nick.
How many times can you watch Danny Phantom, Spongebob or Avatar?, the plots get boring, in my opinion.

If you agree with anything I wrote here, please rate my review highly, or write a review of your own explaining your view on the Old verses the New Nick.


OUT with the NEW, IN with the OLD! Long live 90's Nickelodeon!!

GIVE ME MY OLD NICK TV!!!!

You can't do that on television, Turkey TV, Pinwheel, Today's special - I want to buy these DVDS!!!!!!!!!! Why bother with stuff you can readily tape or Tivo at any time on any day? Bring me the stuff I can't find anywhere - I guarantee you've got several buyers lined up!

I expected better when I purchased this DVD. The episodes include:

ALL GROWN UP - LUCKY 13
One of the most popular kids in school schedules a party the very same day Angelica is having her big 13th birthday bash!

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS - SPONGEBOB B.C. (BEFORE COMEDY)
In this double-length episode, the prehistoric Spongegar, Patar and Squog discover fire.

THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS - INFORMATION STUPORHIGHWAY
With an embarrassing e-mail from Timmy on its way to Trixie, Timmy has himself turned into data and dives into the Internet to retrieve it!

JIMMY NEUTRON/THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS - JIMMY/TIMMY POWER HOUR
When Timmy Turner wishes for access to the greatest laboratory in the universe, he's transported to Jimmy Neutron's secret lab! Once there, Timmy accidentally transports Jimmy into Dimmsdale.

DANNY PHANTOM - BITTER REUNIONS
Danny meets the evil Vlad Plasmius, a childhood rival of his father who, twenty years ago, also got ghost powers in an accident.

MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT - HOSTILE MAKEOVER
The wicked Cluster infects Jenny with a microscopic nanobot that slowly transforms her into a huge monstrous, robotic "she-thing."

RUGRATS - FINSTERELLA
After Angelica points out he's got a stepmom and a stepsister, Chuckie thinks his life is becoming just like Cinderella's.

I am not a big fan of DANNY PHANTOM or MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT, but the other are all right.

Why is it that these new shows are highlighted, but not the old school stuff? Aren't there already dvd's for most of these shows? And shows like "Fairly Odd Parents" are great, but my DVR can pick up a dozen shows in a few days time...

Some one before me wanted 90's Nick, I am all for that. But what about us REAL old schoolers? You can't Do That on Television, The Pinwheel cast, Out of Control!, Todays Special!"

Nick, for real...look who has the $$$$ now, WE DO!!!! the Television Generation born in the 70's and DYING for nostalgia....GIVE IT TOO US!!!!!!:)

why wouldent they bring back the old shows, like doug, clarissa exlains it all, are you afraid of the dark, ren and stimpy, the classic rugrats, wild and crazy kids, lets get out of nickolodean, i want to see some old x men cartoons, captain planet, goosbumps, i want the old tgif back on abc, the line up of boy meets world, sabrina, and they were other great shows that i forgot about, and what about hey dude, excellent shows, the shows on now suck

I agree with all of you who enjoyed the older television shows on Nick. To add a couple of more...I always liked watching "Salute Your Shorts" and "Hey Dude". Those of you who are in your early twenties (and maybe older) can certainly appreciate these shows as they are our generation's classics. I too wish they would put these on DVD instead of the new Nick shows.

And don't let the immature little children who posted bother you. It is probably just some middle schooler with absolutely no life who posted the terribly mispelled comments.

To the kid that wrote The Review under me I have a message for you. You dont need to get angry at The Frizz Person, (Sorry I just couldnt remember you name) were not saying your not allowed to like the New Nick Shows were just saying WE like the older ones better. So I dont think you shounld get mad at her (maybe he) and say in your title of The Review "I hate her".

I just wanted to say that, and by the way, how old are you? You dont have to say, im asking becuase the way you spelled your words, and the hurtful things you said.

I dont mind the new Nick shows (I mean Jimmy Neutron, FarlyOdd Parents, and stuff like that.) If they made a dvd with Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Angry Beavers, Agghhh Real Monster (sorry if I spelled that wrong), Rugrats would also be ok. If I had a DVD with all those old Nick shows then it would be the best Nick (Nickeldeon) dvds out. To tell you the truth I LOVE Jimmy Neutron, but personally I like Ren and Stimpy better. I recomend this DVD to ANY NickToon fans.

everyone said pretty much everything - i was searching for an old Nick show (Ahh! Real Monsters) and i got this. the old Nick shows were - as said - original in their ideas and animation (though i kinda prefer anime) - but at least you wont mix 'em up like you do now. the fairly odd parents is ok - i do enjoy it sometimes - but they got that phantom show that kinda look exactly like it! WHY? not a lot of cartoon artists? hire the ones Disney fired (although the new cartoon artists are not as good as the old ones during the classical times of Snow White & Cinderella..hmmm ok so i'll take it upto the early 90s to Aladdin but that's about it!)
anyway - i think i made my point clear. bring on the old shows on DVD - it's what us - your humble faithful viewers love to have - not some bunch of cloned shows (with all due respect)

I do agree with everyone who gave this one star. I WANT THE OLD NICKELODEON SHOWS ON THIS DVD!!! I don't have this DVD but I want to review anyway. I watched this channel since I was little. I still watch it now. At least there's a channel called Nicktoons Network that I can watch. I wish they would make a network called Nickelodeon Oldies and Favorites. That would be awesome!
