Do you know if the programming may eventually cross over to Nickelodeon, or is it going to stay exclusively on TeenNick? When I first heard earlier this year about several of the out-of-production shows being reintroduced to the regular television cycle, I'd heard that the special lineup was to begin airing in the fall, and at the time of the original announcement a few other animated series were named in addition to the TeenNick list that you've found. Of course, the basic "'90s Are All That" concept may have still been in the works when those preliminary announcements were made.
I hope that the new programming eventually merges at least partly with the Nickelodeon Nick at Nite schedule. I don't have TeenNick...

I saw an animated film short on HBO, sometime in the early 80s, where some guy with eyes like the guy from "The Scream" was sitting in a recliner watching TV. The TV show was apparently a real program - black and white, and involved kids playing around. I think it was playing at a faster than normal speed, and I thought at the time that it was an Our Gang short of some kind - though the picture was too small to tell for sure. For all I know, it could have been film that the animator shot. However, if he snuck that in there - the Rascals were part of a cartoon, though not animated!

From what I first heard, the block was to have aired during the Fall. The information I posted previously came from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_'90s_Are_All_That Sure, it's a wikipedia article, but a quick search on google reveals that it's an accurate page. However, a number of show titles appear to have been added to the list on this page. I'm not sure if all of the added titles will be shown, and evidentally some wikipedia editors aren't too sure either. Actually, I think the best way to go would be to create a TV channel devoted to the classic Nick shows. I think that was in the works at one point a few years back.

I had heard about that in the past. It was to go by the name "Nickelodeon Rewind" or something like that, if I remember accurately. I'd like to see the older Nickelodeon shows get a block on the major network not just because I was looking forward to seeing them myself, but because I think the reruns of those favorite series should get a chance on a more mainstream cable channel to show that they are still capable of drawing viewers. Providing a programming block for them on Nickelodeon, even if it's at a late hour, would give them that chance.

It's been confirmed that the first week's lineup will consist of: "All That" "Clarissa Explains it All" "Doug" "Keenan and Kel". Other shows rotating in subsequent weeks will include: "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" "The Amanda Show" "Are You Afraid of the Dark" "CatDog" "Double Dare" "GUTS" "Hey Arnold!" "Legends of the Hidden Temple" "Rocket Power" "Ren and Stimpy" "Rocko's Modern Life" "Rugrats" "Salute Your Shorts"
Now I really wish this was on cable so that we can all watch these classics.

I always had fun watching Legends of the Hidden Temple when it aired on Saturday mornings! :-)
I wonder if they'll show the Double Dare episodes that featured Marc Summers as the host, or if they'll go with the Double Dare 2000 programs that had Jason Harris in the lead role.
I don't remember the show's questions usually being all that difficult, though there were some bits of obscure trivia that could be very hard if one didn't know the specific fact about which they were asking.

Well, that should be a helpful feature! Having the shows available online with the full consent of Viacom will surely be an improvement over the situation as it stood just a month ago.

I've been recording the 90s On Nick shows for the last few weeks. So far, all they've shown is Doug, All That, Kenan and Kel, and Clarissa. If the ratings are decent, they'll show other shows (or so I've heard). I hope they show Hey Arnold. I love that show!

Though my only opportunity to view the retro programming block is still by way of the website, I, too, will be pleased when they introduce Hey Arnold! to the lineup of shows. It's been off the air for far too long, in my opinion.

Hey Arnold and Rugrats are on TeenNick's site now. I bet they'll be added to the block very soon.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I always liked Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Almost an urban, more modern version of The Little Rascals in some ways. And ironically, contradicts the racism Bill Cosby claimed was in The Little Rascals - look how many ghetto stereotypes were in this cartoon.

Ultimately, I think that the position of The Land Before Time as best of the eleven was my easiest to confirm. It's a short, simple film, but it carries a lot of emotional power, and I think that James Horner's music score in it was absolutely perfect. I agree that The Land Before Time was probably Bluth's best film. Even though Bluth has evidently never been too happy with the finished product (Lucas and Spielberg apparently had about ten minutes of footage cut, and a few scenes were slightly altered), it's still a beautiful film. Now if we could only get a proper DVD release...

Don Bluth's unhappiness about how the film was edited may have been a classic case of a director being too close to his project to be able to discern what finishing touches needed to be performed in order to bring that project up to its full potential. I know that's why even the best writers of novels have "inner circles" of other author friends to critique early versions of their manuscripts; for some reason, it's almost impossible for a writer to see the problems in his own work, and I'd imagine that this effect might be similar for movie directors, as well.
By the way, has anyone here been to see Disney's The Lion King during its limited time in theaters over the next two weeks or so? I went to see it last night, September 25. I could have done without the 3-D, but seeing that movie in the theater again absolutely blew my mind. The emotional power of the story seems to roll outward and crash over the audience like billowing ocean waves, and no one remains unaffected. There was no way that I was going to miss the chance to watch this movie again in the theater.

There was no way that I was going to miss the chance to watch this movie again in the theater. I saw it on Saturday! I agree about the 3-D. Some parts in 3-D were pretty neat, like the opening scene, but I just wanted to go see it on the big screen. It was the very first movie I ever saw in the movie theater (I was 3). Actually, (this story is a bit off topic) I work at a daycare, and when a little girl left with her mom, she was excited because she was going to get to see the Lion King in theaters tonight. The girl's mother said it was going to be her first movie at the theaters, and I actually thought this was really, really cool how young kids today get the chance to see TLK in theaters in 2011. I hope Disney re-releases more movies for the big screen in the future; The Lion King apparently did well at the box office, and I'm sure if they put out something like Aladdin (which is a movie suitable for girls AND boys... it's not as princess-y as some other Disney films), it would do pretty well. Oh... and the end scene, when it's raining and Simba slowly walks up Pride Rock, and Mufasa's voice says, "Remember." That scene was amazing on the big screen and sound... I've seen The Lion King well over twenty times in my life and I've never felt so emotional toward it. It gave me goosebumps (as did the Circle of Life part at the beginning).
