That one is coming up real soon to boot, though the next official one is Curious George to kick of 1986.
Yeah, i was looking at that website he posted, which had all the dates shows premiered on Nick. I'm surprised Mysterious cities of gold (the one I'm not looking forward to) and Spartakus, and Ulysses 31 all premiered so late in the 80's. I was a little disappointed, but not surprised, that he's skipping the nick at night shows. I found the channel on accident, as I was doing a search for powerhouse (I watched it back in the 80s) and while I had found it earlier this year, I guess that was before he did his episode. I saw that it was longer then the other episodes I've watched, and thought "oh, maybe it's a combined episode with better quality" What I got was so much better than that. I spent the next few days just binging on the episodes (I think he was up to nick at night, or possibly the episode before that). Unfortunately, I'm caught up now, so I have to wait for him to drop an ep. 1986's is gonna be a good year for Nick Knacks. And judging by his view counts I can say wo things: a. Thank GOD for patreon, and b: This might be one of the best channels that almost no one's watching.

Time considerations are a hamstringing endeavor but he is doing some Nick at Nite shows like Mister ED and Donna Reed. Also there will be Nick at Nite updates.

I'm glad we get an actual episode for hocus focus. Does that just leave nickleflicks left as a show he hasn't reviewed? (barring the actual existence of loose change being proven at some point.) Apart from the shows he hasn't gotten to, chronologically, of course.
Bananaman definitely aired on Nickelodeon, I have the memories to prove it
His original QUBE and Nick at Nite videos are A+ stuff. The You Can't Do That on Television one was super insane. Good stuff.
It was. It really was. I say that, being a kid during the 80s vividly watching that and Danger Mouse on Nick.

This is what im waiting on. Tho I know it's going to take forever to ever get there. Ah well the Nick at Nite Video was amazing.
The ride till we get there has been amazing. Also remember what else came out in 1986, the year he's currently at.
Oh wow I forgot Double Dare came out that early. Looking more stuff like Finders Keepers, Make the Grade and Think Fast came out in the 80s so it's going to be fun seeing those Gameshows.
I'm excited for Nicktoons, but I think I'm even more excited for them to get to the game shows. Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Wild and Krazy Kids. It's gonna rock.
When they get to Legends of the Hidden Temple I'm gonna fall into a nostalgia coma. I'd be super into a revival of that show.

Wow.
Do you remember his username on Toonzone? Is this the same guy who created the 'Nick amd More' website...?
Jeez, my first forum, ToonZone. Great times...it's called Super Hero Hype now.

Ugh, that means I have to wait even longer than I thought. I'm looking forward to the 50's sitcoms tho.
He isn't behind nick and more. In one of his videos, he talks about using nick and more's tv schedule for his master list of shows on nickelodeon in a way that makes it clear that he isn't behind it.

So Double Dare sometime in the October/November time frame. Nice.

Seems like he is getting faster putting these out, probably easier to find info and episodes the newer the shows are.

Thanks for posting, just subscribed and watched the first four vids. Looking forward to the late 80s/early 90s stuff!
At this pace, we should get to Double Day in late May or early June. He's really picked up the pace.

He does. I think he's one of the most underrated channels on youtube. He deserves *way* more than 10k subs. I hope he sticks with it, and at least gets through the 2000s. But he's my go to channel now when I just want to have something on in the background. I'm really loving learning about the history of cable tv, through nickelodeon.
