,
Hey Arnold!
,
Rugrats
,
The Fairly OddParents
and
Doug
, are available.
History
[
edit
]
Nickelodeon Rewind was originally a collection of
DVDs
and merchandise that featured "classic" Nickelodeon television shows such as
Clarissa Explains It All
,
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
, and
You Can't Do That on Television
. After being launched in 2005, Nick Rewind entered the realm of television airings with the "Nick Rewind" programming block featured on Nickelodeon during Spring 2006. Nick Rewind was essentially put on hold, with the exception of some Amazon DVD releases, until June 2010 when a Nickelodeon Rewind feature appeared on
Comcast
through On Demand, featuring episodes of
The Angry Beavers
,
Hey Arnold!
,
Doug
,
The Ren and Stimpy Show
, and
Rugrats
. In the UK,
Nicktoons
was, as of July 2011, airing
The Amanda Show
as part of the Nicktoons Rewind feature. In 2011, Nickelodeon Rewind went mainstream with the release of DVDs through
Shout! Factory
and
The '90s Are All That
(now NickRewind) block of TeenNick.

- The original Nickelodeon Rewind DVDs
Nickelodeon Rewind began as a collection of DVDs of older Nickelodeon
television
shows. The first two DVDs in this collection were released on May 17, 2005:
Clarissa Explains It All
[1]
and
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
.
[2]
These DVDs sold so well that Nickelodeon then released Season 2 of
Pete and Pete
in November 2005.
[3]
The third season of Pete and Pete, as well as Volume One of "You Can't Do That on Television", were set for release in Spring 2006, but after several postponements, the releases never occurred and are still seen as being "on hiatus."
[4]
Many suspect this to be due to Nickelodeon's parent company,
Viacom
, splitting with
CBS
, causing the resignation of Nickelodeon's president,
Herb Scannell
. Other reports have suggested that the
clearances
for
You Can't Do That on Television
were too complicated for a DVD release, since it not only involves the numerous cast members who appeared on the show, but also involves the show's owner,
CJOH-TV
in
Ottawa
,
Ontario
and, in turn, that station's current owner, the
CTV Network
division of
CTVglobemedia
.
[5]
In 2008, Nickelodeon struck a deal with
Amazon.com
to sell exclusive DVD sets which included various shows under the Nickelodeon name, including
Doug
,
Rugrats
,
Rocko's Modern Life
, and
Hey Arnold!
. These DVDs were widely criticized for being nothing more than DVD-R's that were burned to order, leading to a prohibitive cost, pricing many out of purchasing them. However, the prices for many of these DVDs were eventually reduced in 2014.
In 2011, Nickelodeon reached a deal with
Shout! Factory
to release digitally remastered versions of classic Nickelodeon shows on traditional DVD, including Nickelodeon sitcoms and animated series. These shows have included
Hey Dude
,
Rocko's Modern Life
,
The Angry Beavers
,
CatDog
,
Hey Arnold!
,
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
,
The Wild Thornberrys
and
Danny Phantom
as of now.
Merchandise
[
edit
]
Nickelodeon Rewind is also a brand of
merchandise

Hot Topic
stores. This collection included items from such shows as
Salute Your Shorts
,

,
Hey Dude
,
Rocko's Modern Life
,

,
Rugrats
,
The Fairly OddParents
,
SpongeBob SquarePants

Zazzle
, Nickelodeon launched a webstore in 2011 that sells classic Nickelodeon merchandise, accessible through the Nickelodeon website.

2019 programming block
[
edit
]
In March 2011, Keith Dawkins, Senior VP and General Manager for
Nicktoons
and
TeenNick
, announced that
TeenNick
would air a television block called "The '90s Are All That" that began airing on July 25, 2011. Nickelodeon made this surprising move in response to overpowering demand from fans who want to re-live their favorite childhood shows. 1990’s Nickelodeon programming has 9 million fans on Facebook alone. The block aired nightly from 10:00pm to 6:00am
EST
. Shows that last aired on the block were all animated series, including
Hey Arnold!
,
Rugrats
,
The Wild Thornberrys
,
Doug
, and
Rocko's Modern Life
. Live-action series from the 1980s, 1990s and early-mid 2000s have previously aired on the block.
[7]
On March 18, 2019, the block rebranded to "NickRewind", indirectly reviving the brand until its discontinuation on January 31, 2022.
