YTV was to Canada what Nick was to the States. Although now we have Nickelodeon, about 20 years too late.

I remember every one of those, and Clarissa and Pete and Pete were the only ones I liked. xD

What I want to know is, what were the lyrics to the Pete & Pete theme song? Does anyone actually know?

"never had nickolodeon i think.

Oh wow. Of all of your videos that you have made...this is by far the most nostalgic for me.
I had completely forgotten about that horrible show Hey Dude, and the memories for it stop at the opening title. Really, I couldn't tell you anything about the show. Guess that shows what a masterpiece that was.
I have to agree that Pete and Pete was indeed a good show, but I wouldn't have categorized it as the best. There are too many fragile minds out here in internet land that will literally follow your word to the letter. Now, the corruption has set in and people will automatically thumbs down this comment for not agreeing with you.
Introspection aside, thank you for uploading these. Nick really was a large part of my childhood...and I didn't realize how much so until these videos.
I hope the next segment is Nick game shows...like the Nick Arcade and Guts. Wow. I am lost in memory. And what was that show that had the big eye that could rove around? I think it also had Mark Summers hosting it...
Well, that's enough from me! Thanks again...you make my day with these things.
(P.S. Your brother needs to stop smiling so much on camera! lol, but then again, you're the regular "talent". We'll give him time to buff up his act ::gets ready for more thumbs downs:: )

Either annoyingly remembered or you just hate it. Somewhat funny when i was like 6 but i could barley understand what they were doing!
Aboot about, what's the difference?;D

was that mike as joe? or rob?
these must've been before my time because i dont remember anyof them, but thats ok, i had all that, the amanda show, Ka Blam, plenty of nicktoons and spongebob when it didnt suck.

The only one I saw was Salute Your Shorts, and I don't remember that very well at all, which isn't surprising considering I haven't seen it in 12 and a half years. I remember seeing commercials for the rest while watching Nick (save YCDTOTV), but never actually saw them. I was only a little kid, the only live-action show I watched was GUTS and Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Looking forward to next episode, though I didn't watch much of Snick either, save the aforementioned Afraid. Oh, and I loved that "Boy or Girl" bit.
...
Aboot. *shot*

At 1st I was like, "Oh no, don't attack Pete and Pete" Thank god he see's how great the show was. I really loved Mr. Tastee in that show.

I absolutely loved this video. You touched based on all the groundbreaking shows in a sea of crap. I still consider YCDTOT and Salute your Shorts funny. Although I must attest that Pete and Pete was pure concentrated brilliance. Turning the mundane into something adventurous. Satirically portraying the adults as our adversaries. Geek empowerment is what it’s all about. And the soundtrack still holds up today. In fact, I own it. It’s a shame that Paramount wont release season 3 on DVD due to legal matters with the amount of guest stars that appeared. Anyway, great segment cause it really took me back to my childhood.

Hey smilin' strange
You lookin' happily deranged
Can you settle to shoot me?
Or have you picked your target yet?Chorus:
Hey Sandy
Ai ai ai ai
don't you talk back
(ai ai ai ai)
Hey SandyFive feet away
End of speech, it's the end of the day
But we was only funnin'
But guiltily I thought you had it comin'

PETE AND PETE!! I fucking LOVED that show, but I forgot its name for so long... Thank you Nostaliga Critic for reminding me of that wonderful show.
*Hugs Doug*
Hey, that rhymes.

Yanno, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think Hey Dude was plain out boring. I mean, when the only episode I can remember is the one involving a beauty pageant...what's that tell you?
Nonetheless, I have an urge to look up some YCDTOTV episodes.
Great stuff.

Dammit. Now that I'm thinking about Pete and Pete again, I'm probably not going to be able to sleep. I loved that show so much, and the nostalgia... oh the nostalgia...
I hope you touch on Are You Afraid of the Dark with some sort of "Snick" review in the future. That show is by far the greatest thing to pass over Nick's airwaves.

01.13.2009 - 12:53 | edgeidore84 - HEY
YOU FORGOT WELCOME FRESHMEN!!!! AND ITS LAMER MORE WORSE COUNTERPART I THINK IT WAS CALLED 15 OR MAYBE 16

Aw, come on, You Can't Do That On Television was a great show. I still find it really funny.
-
01.13.2009 - 12:58 | LUrabbi - Heck yes!
Thank you for giving Pete and Pete the respect they deserve!
Incidentally, wasn't there another Canadian show Nick had? I think it was called The Roundhouse, and it was a semi-scripted live show. The only thing I really remember is the dad on the motorized armchair. Ring any bells?
