Nickelodeon to start re-airing '90s classics

In the best news nostalgic, possibly drunk twenty-somethings have received in the entire past decade, Nickelodeon has announced that it will start re-airing its greatest and most beloved shows from the '90s during its late-night programming block.
The delightfully-titled "The '90s Are All That" block will run from midnight until 2 a.m. beginning in the fall, and will air a lineup of classics including Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Pete & Pete, The Amanda Bynes Show, All That, and Clarissa Explains It All. A truly incredible development in the world of TV, even if Alex Mack is glaringly omitted from the lineup, and even if getting our own version of Nick at Nite means that kids who grew up in the '90s are officially starting to get old.

all i have to say is "YESSSSS!!!"
agreed...YESSSSSS
Oooooooh, and I bet that hottie Ellen from Pete & Pete is all grown up and legal now!
Awesome, but what about Hey Dude! and The Amanda Bynes Show hardly passes as a classic...
did you guys realize this wasnt real when its a half-page news article on a match-making/dating site? good lord, i wish they would show rocko and doug and ren and stimpy again.
Three words: Rocko's Modern Life
yes.
Yes!
Sorry kids. This is a hoax that's been going around. Google it.
I'd like to see more Doug Phunny, though.
This seems to be correct. I couldn't find a press release on the Nickelodeon website.
Shame on you, Internet journalism.
You're totally incorrect, NickDanger3deye—it's very true and credibly sourced (https://insidetv.ew.com/2011/03/10/teennick-goes-retro-with-90s-programmi...). Scoops = Internet journalism at its best.
I'm changing my mind on this one, although I still can't find a press release on Nickelodeon, and I can't find any article that says what its source is. But apparently there was a rumor to this effect a few weeks ago, and that one wasn't true, so this one might be I guess.
The Inside TV/EW article Ray linked to quotes the Senior VP of TeenNick, so the info on this comes straight from the network, even if they haven't issued a press release on it.
I'm going to have to be pretty drunk to sit down and watch Clarissa Explains It All. Kenan & Kel, though, I'm with.
No Alex Mack, Arrrgh real monsters, Rocko's Modern Life, Catdog...what's the point?
I came.
Since this is going to be aired from midnight to 2am... you might as well program it so that 18-26 year-old people will want to watch... this means scrubbing Pete&Pete, Amanda Bynes and I GUESS Clarissa COULD work as it dealt with a lot of issues that many people are still dealing with today...
however...
Keenan & Kel = EPIC
Rugrats = Awesome
All That = Meeh
Pete & Pete = Scrubbed for... well... ANYTHING! I'll even sit through the horrible early days of special effects in Alex Mack rather than watch this again... sorry Pete's, was never a fan of you two...
Amanda Bynes Show = Ummm... right when I thought it couldn't get any worse... again, this was a show that tried to be funny... and never made me laugh... Can we get some Kablam! instead???
Clarissa Explains it all = A small breath of relief here... basically Degrassi, but not as dark at times... and some of the lessons learned in this show can still be applied today... If you scrub this then I say alternate this time slot with showing variations of the old time nick gameshows (What would you do, Wild N Crazy Kids, Legends, Guts)...
Moral of the story... Nickelodeon actually was x50 better at making cartoons rather than real sitcoms and the like...
