It Looks As Though Nickelodeon Is Launching a New Channel Dedicated To All Your 90's Favorites Called "The Splat"
E - Nickelodeon is taking #TBT to the extreme: Thanks to teasing messages from a mysterious Twitter account(formerly for TeenNick’s “The ’90s Are All That” programming block), the Internet is abuzz with rumors that the preferred home of after-school programming for every kid who came of age in the ’90s is bringing back your favorite shows on a brand-new network called The Splat. But the question remains: What’s it all for? Nickelodeon won’t confirm anything, but speculation online is leaning toward a whole new channel—though an expanded programming block or a streaming web portal are both equally likely options.
Nostalgia, so hot right now. This channel is great for 2 reasons: 1) nostalgic purposes. Who wouldn’t watch Hey Arnold at 3am drunk as fuck while eating pizza? The number of people in their mid 20’s/early 30’s that will watch this channel while high and/or drunk is through the roof. And 2) because the shows on Nickelodeon will never be better than what they used to be so they might as well air them for the current generation of kids to see and admire. Not to sound like an old man, but how are they ever going to top Doug, Rugrats, Pete and Pete, Alex Mac, Rocko’s Modern Life, and of course, Rocket Power? Need I go on? Because I will. All That, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, motherfucking Keenan And Kel! Is it trueeeeeeeee?
PS: Does anyone remember when Nick did a week straight of 3D programming at 8pm? Not sure why I remember this but you had to get special glasses called Noggle Goggles by like sending them a letter, buying them at Blockbuster, or buying special boxes of Mac and Cheese. For some reason my parents wouldn’t let me get them because they hated me and I didn’t have the glasses on Monday, making Tuesday at school was literally the worst day of my life. Everyone bragging about the glasses and how awesome they were. Never felt more poor in my life. I think I’m still overcompensating for that now by buying random shit whenever I want it just incase everyone has it and I don’t. I’ll be pulling the trigger on one of those hoverboard things any day now. Thanks, mom and dad. All you had to do was buy me Noggle Goggles.
