8 to 14 year olds

That's dumb. Isn't the point of Nick at Nite that the shows in that block are NOT kids shows? Such shows would probably be better suited to Comedy Central.

No. The original point of Nick at Nite in the US was to firstly use the downtime of the regular Nickelodeon service and also to provide what was effectively an oldie programme rerun network and while this may still be true to an extent, it's pretty much presented as I understand as an extension of Nickelodeon.

The programming "imported" by Nickelodeon UK from Nick at Nite is aimed at adolescents and adults as the crossover between Nickelodeon and mainstream programming.

Some of the examples of programming and presentation towards the end of the video from Nick USA


I personally wanted to have a Nick@Nite block here as it seemed interesting and I may have been interested in some of the programming. But I suppose it would be the same as TeenNick as that only lasted about a year or two, then it suddenly disappeared (or in simpler terms AXED)

I definitely remember seeing an episode with people eating up the carpet. Of course, at that age, I had no idea there was an underlying joke.

FTFY.

Obviously Cartoon Network UK must have shown it then if more than one person here can remember seeing it, was definately pulled by 1999 though as I know I've never seen it despite how much I watched the show at the time.

Although we're still talking about Cartoon Network editing stuff- I know Regular Show needs a fair few edits before screening over here. When someone showed me the first episode from a US screening, I was suprised it had the phrase "pissed off" in it!

I do remember an episode of Cow & Chicken shown with the word "crap" left in though, but they cut it out an episode of Dexter's Lab (though SM:TV left it in when they showed that episode).

Adventure Time is also a victim of the Cartoon Network UK cuts. Even some episodes have been banned.

My nephew's a fan of both shows, though he's only 8 so the adult stuff would go over his head. Though to be honest I'd say most of Regular Show would go over most kid's heads, it's so full of references and stuff that you'd have to have grown up in the 80s and 90s to understand!

He was quite fascinated when I showed him a photo of a big model of one of the Adventure Time characters that I took in the CNN Center in Atlanta last year. Sadly the Cartoon Network store there seemed a bit of a let down, was quite small and didn't seem to have much.

Shame he's never seen the 90s Cartoon Network shows though, I'm sure today's generation would enjoy them just as much if they still showed them! I don't think they've dated as much as today's cartoons probably will which seem to be full of jokes about viral videos and selfies.

On the theme of Nickelodeon, I do have this batch of NickToons TV continuity from 2004 I uploaded to YouTube a while back:

Cartoon network in the USA is aimed for kids upto 16, while here its much lower like 12.

Something missing from the original Nicktoons set, out of the original three only one continues to air off and on but without this:



Dunno if its present on the home releases.

The original Nicktoons in order were Doug, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy and later followed up with Rocko's Modern Life and Real Monsters. In fact IIRC every animation up until Hey Arnold may have had a Nicktoons sting (above) on it, and everything after Arnold didn't, and any repeats after that lost the original sting. IIRC.

Another thing about the Nickelodeon channels is, as far as I can tell, they don't even seem to show the end credits any more, they just abruptly cut to the endcaps.

And with Rugrats it seems funny you only have to go back to the early-mid 00s when it seemed to dominate the schedules of both Nick and NickToons- now it's not on all right now. Though you can see from that video I posted the SpongeBob domination had already started- which continues to this day.

Similar to Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. Too, with Peppa Pig dominating the schedules on both channels.
