I don’t know about you, but I used to love me some Nickelodeon when I was a kid. I had a few childhood dreams about being a contestant on some of the most radical shows of all time (in my opinion). Daily I wished that I could compete on Global GUTS all the while fully knowing I would fail miserably at all obstacles. I would have been the one to get eliminated immediately. I just wanted a taste of that Agro Crag and what it would have been like to race to the top and win a piece of the legendary mountain. Maybe it’s not too late?!?!
Another one of my faves was Double Dare – I wanted to be slimed so badly. What made that so appealing?? In all actuality it was disturbing green gak spilled all over your body/face/head…it couldn’t have been THAT cool. That didn’t stop me from wanting to go on that show!
Wild and Crazy Kids anyone?? I remember this one episode that I recreated in my own backyard and then competed alone like a champion. I was pretty damn cool back then.
What was your favorite Nickelodeon show??

My co-worker and I were talking about this very same topic today! I really enjoyed the old Nickelodeon shows. Double Dare was one of my favorites, too. I wanted to bring my family on the show. :)
Does anyone remember The Legend of the Hidden Temple, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Fifteen, or Are You Afraid of the Dark? They don't make kids' shows like they used to!
my favve show was salute your shorts & hey duge! loveed them. & you won an award on my page.
HEYYY DUUUUDE! and that chick melody is in everything isnt she?? she is ageless!!!!
I loved all those Nickelodeon shows! My faves were salute your shorts, hey dude, are you afraid of the dark, and GUTS! I would definitely still watch those shows if they came on! Haha
Definitely Wild and Crazy Kids. And I totally dreamed about being on any and ALL of those shows as a kid, too! (Of course, I probably would've been even MORE excited to be on Wheel of Fortune.)
Did you know that the host of Double Dare was majorly OCD? I laughed so hard when I heard that.
PS Here's a funny "review" of Double Dare...it has some bad language, just fyi.

Nickelodeon was the greatest. I loved Double Dare and Clarissa Explains it all. You Can't Do That on Televison was also a fav of mine.
Salute your shorts was my ultimate favorite.
Rocko's Modern Life was another favorite... maybe a close second.
Oh my gosh!!!! I loved them all: Salute your Shorts, Hey Dude, Clarissa, Are You Afraid of the Dark... *sigh* the good old days!
I was all about the DD! I would get to upset when someone missed a question. Especially if it were one I could answer!
Very cute blog! I am stopping by to welcome you to the SITSahood! Glad you joined us and hope to see you around!
I was thinking of Double Dare before you even mentioned it! I loved that show!! Dropping by from SITS!
Ok so my parents lived waaaaay out in the country when I was growing up so we couldn't have cable and I was SO jealous of all the kids who had Nickolodeon so when I would go to their houses all I wanted to do was watch tv hahaha! I'm sure I was a fun overnight guest!
Hey girl!! I tagged you and gave you a blog award!! Hope you are doing great!
wanted to say "hi" and welcome you to SITS. Hope you enjoyed the Spring Fling!
carma
ahhh, i LOVED wild and crazy kids!!
I LOVED all those contestant shows. That's kind of what reality TV was before it became reality TV.
I ALMOST convinced my entire family to go on Double Dare. My sister (the teenager) refused. Go figure. Spoilsport.
My all time favorite game show though? Fun House. Those kids got caught up on the biggest mistakes! I knew I could beat it if I were only given the chance.
Ah - Wild and Crazy Kids. Memories! I couldn't miss Salute Your Shorts. Or The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
I remember at some point my parents took us to a Live version of Double Dare. It was fantastic. We watched that show every single day.
