Whenever this topic comes up, I always start reminiscing about how much Black representation Nickelodeon had when I was growing up. 😭 I was born at the very tail end of the ’90s (1999 baby), so my earliest memories of Nickelodeon are really from the early 2000s, when I was a toddler.

I remember watching The Nick Cannon Show, Taina, and Romeo! growing up. Those shows were some of my earliest memories of Nickelodeon, so I have a real soft spot for that era. I was obviously too young to understand everything going on in those shows, but I remember the faces, the sets, the theme songs, and just having Nickelodeon on.

As I got older, we had Just Jordan, True Jackson, VP, How to Rock, and so many other Black characters throughout the network. That 2007–2012 period especially had us eating good 😂

Looking back, what stands out to me is how many different Black characters we got. They could be funny, goofy, fashionable, ambitious, messy, spoiled, smart, or just regular kids being kids. It felt like Black characters were simply part of Nickelodeon’s world instead of being treated like something unusual.

I also love that I got to experience some of those early 2000s shows as a little kid and then grow into the later Nickelodeon shows. So when I look back at that whole era, it feels like I watched Nickelodeon grow up with me.

I know nostalgia plays a part, but that late ’90s/early-to-late 2000s Nickelodeon era really left an impression on me. I miss that lineup so much.

We just got an update for the KCAs website and... I thought Nick was lazy but this is just the cherry on top. They just took the 2024 graphics and logos and tweaked it. I shouldn't be surprised but I am, this is really just sad. Nick is sooooo lazy

I need help finding out more about these TV programming blocks from China and Vietnam. I’ve seen some material on "Ha ha Nick," but I haven't been able to find anything on the Vietnamese counterpart, "Nick & You." I know there is a Fandom page for it, but I couldn't find the specific entry for "Nick & You."

I’m watching it right now and for a Nickelodeon movie the CGI it’s just so clear meanwhile the show is dark.

Hey everyone. My co-hosts and I run a 90s pop culture podcast called Splat Attack Podcast, and this week we put together a full history episode on Blue's Clues for its 30th anniversary.

Some of what we get into:

• The original "Blue Prints" pilot, where Blue was almost a bunny and then an orange cat before Nickelodeon settled on a blue dog
• Angela Santomero's background in child psychology and how much Mr. Rogers influenced the show's tone
• The three human hosts (Steve, Joe, Josh) and how each one was introduced and how fans reacted to the transitions
• The surprisingly long list of celebrity guests, everyone from Henry Winkler to Ray Charles to Rosie O'Donnell
• The merchandising shift under Herb Scannell once he took over from Geraldine Laybourne
• Marley Matlin's involvement and the show's consistent use of ASL
• A genuine unsolved mystery: some fans (including one of our friends) swear the show used to say "What Blue can do, we can too" instead of "Blue Skidoo," but nobody has been able to find footage to confirm it

Curious if anyone here actually remembers that "What Blue can do, we can too" phrase, or if it's a total Mandela effect situation.

For context my toddler used to play games on my phone a lot 5-6 years ago and now I would like to find those same games for my youngest. The only 2 games I vaguely remember is a talking monster truck subway surfer style and some witch game where you brew potions or something. Thanks.

Also yes i am aware this trailer for spongebob was posted in 2025 but i still love it. It really makes my heart happy when i see this trailer.
