I see a lot of kudos on here for Nick shows like "You Can't Do That on Television" and "Are You Afraid of the Dark," but where are the accolades for the seemingly obscure shows? Well, not so much obscure, but more cultish. "Out of Control, " "Pinwheel," and "Danger Mouse. " Actually, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of shows..."Bananaman" just popped into my head, but I don't think it was a full show. If you have any classic Nick (or even Disney Channel; remember that live action Dumbo show?) memories or live action, let 'er rip.

I bring this up because my buddy just mentioned "Out of Control" and I nearly shit myself because I didn't think anyone remembered that but me.

Dude...don't mention the live action Dumbo show from the 80's...I HATED that so much since it didn't really fit with the movie.

I have lots of love for the old Nickelodeon stuff including Out of Control unfortunately as far as I can find, this is the only episode available on the net, enjoy.

Nice! It has to be Dave Coulier's second best show after "The Surreal Life."

Wow, I'd totally forgotten about that show. None of it looks familiar to me at all except the title screen, so I guess I wasn't a big fan of it as a kid.

I loved Nickelodeon though and the channel would never change from it as long as I was awake. Anyone remember The Tomorrow People or Roundhouse?

Nothing beats Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude though. Best shows on Nick ever.

Dude, I am always talking about Roundhouse and no one ever knows what I am talking about.

It is the pre-cursor to All That, hilarious sketches.


My Muzaks! CHECK IT OUT!!!

Pretty much yeah. Like Andrew said, it was sort of like All That, but less childish and urban. It had a whiter, more grown-up sense of humor. The sets would sort of slide in and out fluidly per sketch, and always had that guy in the powered armchair rolling around.

It was a cool show and part of the original SNick when it debuted.

I loved Wienerville as a kid. I always hoped that they'd show reruns or at least give it a DVD release. Mark Wiener was hilarious.

Any of you guys remember Hey Arnold, Ren and Stimpy (sometimes on Comedy central, I think), All That, Double Dare, Doug, Figure it Out, Finders Keepers, Get the Picture, Guts, KaBlam, Nick Arcade, Rocko's Modern Life and Rugrats? I got those off a list on a different website so these weren't off the top of my head.

This is going waaaay back, but I remember watching The Third Eye on Nickelodeon. That scared the crap out of me.

Count Duckula was one of my all time favorites. The intro and ending songs were awesome.


No, I don't think I will fuck Stummies.

Roundhouse, as previously mentioned, was fantastic. When the show wound down, they had a contest to win the motorized chair. I entered, but alas, I have no motorized chair.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

But honestly... this might be my all time favorite *childhood* Nick show.

Yes, this show was epic. From the producer who brought you Pulp Fiction, Rambo, The Lord of The Rings, and Madonna: Truth or Dare...Comes THE GNOMES GREAT ADVENTURE. Maybe he can get Peter Jackson to direct the live action version starring the dude from Travelocity

here is also a good one

only problem i had about this show is that the beauty in beast was strange in how the beast literally killed the woman's dad in front of her yet acts like it is no big deal.

What show would that be? My first thought was Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, but that was French.

That show sucked in all honesty. Mainly from the shitty 60's Alvin and Chipmunck cartoons

I probably would like Mark Weiners act in real life at a club or something, yet I found the show incredibly boring and stupid even for a kid with ADD.

WEINER,WEINER,WEINER!

get it out of muh head
