Mr. Wizard was my god.  I never cared for Pinwheel.

And you ignore "What will they think of next?" (or whatever that show was).   THAT show ruled.  But Malvert was brilliant.

"you can't do that on television" wasn't really "put out" by nickelodeon.. they simply rebroadcast old episodes that were aired in canada previously.

definitely loved Today's Special. That was my favorite of the Nick shows. I remember Pinwheel.
 
 You know I have seen Fraggle Rock seasons on DVD. I have to admit really want to get those.

The omission of the one truly great show from this thread is painful.  Hey Dude was a Nick masterpiece.  
 The hijinx on the dude ranch were never ending. Such great episodes such as Ted leaving for summer school, Ted coming back from summer school to find Kyle moving in on Brad, and Capture the Flag were  highlights of early nineties TV.  
 And let's not forget the inclusion of some side-boob from future Mrs. Ben Stiller, in the lifeguard episode.  
 All praise to Nick's O-Zone which also include Fifteen (with future Waiting star, Ryan Reynolds), or Salute Your Shorts with future Mr. Rilo Kiley, and SK8TV with future Shaggy.

HA! Hey Dude... Before that show started, my family took a vacation to the actual dude ranch they filmed the show at. I remember watching only to see people and places in the background I remember.

Until they updated the animation and the plot lines dropped to crappy.

Rocko's Modern Life had more than its fair share of classic moments. And I catch fairly odd parents from time to time which is just as bizarre and twisted as any other nick show. Some of it is pretty dark too.

but hated Count Duckula.  Those shows are the reason  this logo (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fd/Thames.jpg) is etched in my brain.
