I think it was early 90s in Nickelodeon. It was a game show where kids would use VR and “be in” the video games while competing for the high score. I used to LOVE this show. Just can’t remember the name.

This would have been in the mid to late 90’s. I’m almost positive that it aired during the summer during a Stick Stickly hosted block of programs. I only remember seeing it once and was an avid, daily Nickelodeon watcher. It was some sort of live action horror show about a boy who was being terrorized by this troll like creature in his suburban home. It wasn’t a movie and I remember it being a normal show length episode. I also know it wasn’t an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, as I’ve seen just about every one of that era’s episodes many times. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Am I misremembering this about even being on Nickelodeon? Thank you!

**edited to add more details: It was an English language show, either a Canadian or US production. It seemed contemporary at the time and not dated. The protagonist was definitely a boy, and the monster was larger than the boy and dressed in medieval or renaissance type clothes. I think it could teleport into his closet and may have taken his brother in the past and now was coming for him. It was pretty dark content for a daytime, summer show on Nick and creeped me out despite being a veteran Are You Afraid of the Dark and other children’s horror watcher.

During the second challenge in the show where the children learn a story, they hear about pirates and black beard specifically; in the story, the stone face says that he shoots his own crew to scare them time to time. Orange gives this as a correct answer and stone face denies them, then, when they're answering later, he doesn't even respond to their correct answer and they have to restate it again. I even went back to listen to the story to make sure I wasnt crazy. Did anyone else catch this??

I've been binging all of Salute Your Shorts on Internet Archive. So obviously it's the early 90s so the pop culture references are much older, but the kids are referencing Dick Clark and Jerry Lewis just to name a couple. I wonder if these were references these kids would really use or it's clearly written by adults.

I'm trying to find any info about a series I watched on Nickelodeon when I was a small child in the early '80s that scared the absolute crap out of me. It might have been one of the serials in "the third eye" but I don't know which. This show had "spaghetti monsters" (that's what I called them) which looked sort of like a pile of string. They ran around outside in the dark and may have been aliens? I have no idea, just trying to see if this was a real show or if I made it up in a dream. It kinda feels that way bc I've been searching for it over the years with no luck.

Since finding it, I've just been happy to be reminded of all these things I enjoyed so much 30 years ago, and to see how many others are out there who appreciate them too.

I mainly ask this because I was watching Recess on Disney+ and noticed the fact they had an educational consultant on that show. It was considered educational in the morality sense. It was made for ABC, which required a certain amount of educational shows, usually in the morality sense

It makes me wonder what 90s Nickelodeon shows could have qualified as educational. I know the Nick Jr. stuff obviously would have and Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, and The Wild Thornberrys aired on the E/I block, Nick on CBS, since they were considered educational enough to qualify. There was also Doug, which aired on Noggin, which launched in 1999 and that channel was originally an educational channel with a preschool lineup and an older kids lineup

I feel like Rocket Power and Clarissa Explains It All could have qualify as educational shows. Rocket Power in the sense that it encourages kids to go outside and play sports and the morality aspect and from what I've seen, Clarissa seems to have a morality aspect too

There are some shows I'm not sure if they would qualify as ones though. The Amanda Show felt like one that was meant for pure entertainment, so it probably wouldn't have been considered educational

i been looking for this for years i remember in like 2006-2009 there was nickelodeon waffles commercial and i remember there was nick characters on the each waffles but i cant find the commercial or anything about them anywhere.
